By the editors · 2 min readMint flashes cold against grapefruit and bergamot, the citrus pithy, the cedar already lending a sharpened-pencil dryness behind it all. The opening reads bracing and masculine.
Lavender takes over quickly, herbal and dry, with raspberry adding an unexpected jammy note that pulls toward violet's powdery sweetness. The combination is unusual — almost a fruity-fougère hybrid — with rose threading a warmer floral undertone. Patchouli starts pushing up from the base early, earthy and slightly leathery, joined by olibanum's dry resin and amber's quiet warmth. Tonka softens the close. Projection is moderate, the texture smooth with a faint sticky-sweet edge.
The drydown is amber-patchouli over warm tonka, with a violet-powder ghost lingering. A 90s aromatic-fougère with sweeter, fruitier flourishes.
