By the editors · 2 min readMint opens cool and bright, sharper than peppermint candy and closer to crushed leaf, with an almost menthol bite in the first minute. The opening reads more medicinal-aromatic than fragrance-pretty.
Clove and cardamom warm the heart with a dry-spicy contrast — clove adds a clean dental edge, cardamom keeps things lifted and slightly green. The interplay between cooling mint and warming spice is the entire concept, and it sustains rather than develops dramatically.
Cinnamon alone forms the base, lending a powdery, slightly sweet warmth that softens the spice attack and grounds the close. The trajectory is essentially linear: cool to warm, mint into spice, with no substantial woody or amber backdrop. Best worn in cool weather where the mint stays sharp.
