By the editors · 2 min readMint and grapefruit open with a tight, snapping freshness: the mint cool and slightly menthol, the grapefruit bitter-bright with a soapy edge. The entry is unmistakably aimed at heat and gym bags.
Sage in the heart adds a dry herbal-aromatic ribbon that keeps the composition green rather than letting it go citrus-sweet. The mint persists longer than expected, threading through the herbal middle.
Patchouli and Virginia cedar in the base provide a quiet woody-earthy anchor, with the patchouli reading clean and modern rather than head-shop. The drydown is a thin aromatic-woody musk with the cedar dry and the patchouli still bright. Linear, summery, and built for warm-weather casual wear.
