The opening is unexpectedly cool — a clipped mint pulse over neroli, almost mojito-adjacent without being literal, an aquatic-leaning brightness rather than a sweet floral.

By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is unexpectedly cool — a clipped mint pulse over neroli, almost mojito-adjacent without being literal, an aquatic-leaning brightness rather than a sweet floral.
The middle softens into iris and jasmine, the iris carrying a powdery cool grey through the heart while a thread of Virginia cedar adds a pencil-shaving dryness. Floral and woody pull against each other politely; nothing dominates for long.
In the drydown the tonka eases the sharper edges into something faintly creamy, with sandalwood and musk closing on a soft, slightly soapy note. Overall the perfume reads casual and easygoing, more breeze-and-cotton than statement, comfortable in warm weather and deliberately undemanding.
