By the editors · 2 min readMint snaps open the composition with a cool green flash that quickly warms as bergamot’s citrus oil sheens the surface. The heart layers crisp pear and tart raspberry over powdery iris, while caramel melts underneath, turning the fruit into glazed compote rather than fresh orchard. Iris maintains its dry, lipstick facet, preventing the sugar from becoming syrupy. Sandalwood and vanilla thicken the base, vetiver adding a clean grass line that keeps the woods from cloying too creamy. Cedar provides pencil-sharp structure, amber a soft golden glow, and musk a skin-hugging trail. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, ideal for breezy spring afternoons or casual office days when you want sweetness without overt gourmand heft.
