XS (2018) leads with a compressed trio of bergamot, lemon, and mint — the mint clean rather than clinical, reading as shoreline freshness rather than toothpaste.

By the editors · 2 min readXS (2018) leads with a compressed trio of bergamot, lemon, and mint — the mint clean rather than clinical, reading as shoreline freshness rather than toothpaste. The citrus is tight and bright, fading quickly into the composition rather than dominating it.
The base is where this version earns its character: sandalwood provides warm, slightly creamy depth, rosemary adds sharp herbal dryness, and oakmoss gives an earthy, slightly damp groundedness that keeps the whole thing from feeling weightless. A tightly constructed fresh aromatic that does exactly what it promises across several hours without developing into something unexpected. An efficient choice for daytime wear when you want clean and unobtrusive.
