By the editors · 2 min readApple opens crisp and slightly sweet, cut by cool spearmint that sharpens the edges while bergamot lifts the accord into airy brightness. Violet leaf slips in next, adding a damp-green facet that mutes the fruit and turns the composition toward something more watery and mineral, like wet pebbles. Vetiver anchors the base with dry grass and a trace of smoke, stretching the green theme into dusk without adding weight. The scent stays sheer, projecting an arm’s-length breeze for the first two hours before settling into a skin-clean whisper that still smells of crushed leaves. Designed for warm days, it works best over a polo shirt or post-gym shower when you want refreshed rather than dressed-up. Expect four-to-five hours of life, with the ozonic lift returning whenever body heat spikes.
