By the editors · 2 min readMelon and mint open the composition with an unusually cool combination — watery sweet melon meeting a sharp, almost menthol mint. The top reads refreshing and slightly playful, more cocktail than perfume.
The heart turns more conventional with ylang-ylang and rose forming a soft floral middle. The mint lingers longer than expected, threading through the flowers and keeping them from becoming heavy.
Sandalwood, oakmoss, coconut, and strawberry close it as an unusual tropical-mossy chord — coconut adding creamy lactonic warmth, strawberry a candied sweetness, oakmoss a damp earthy counter, sandalwood structural wood. Overall: a quirky fruity-floral with mint freshness up top and a tropical-mossy dry-down, moderate projection, and a casual warm-weather character.
