By the editors · 2 min readMint's cool freshness and yuzu's citrus tartness open against a prominent vanilla backdrop that feels both sweet and slightly marine. Caramel intensifies the sweetness in the heart, creating a rich gourmand accord that dominates the composition. Tonka bean adds almond-like sweetness while ambergris provides a saline animalic quality that contrasts with patchouli's earthy dryness. The fragrance remains strongly sweet throughout wear, with the marine animalic notes adding complexity to the vanilla caramel core. Projection is substantial for four hours before gradually softening, best for evening wear in cooler seasons. This bold gourmand with marine accents works particularly well for special occasions in fall and winter conditions.
