By the editors · 2 min readMint opens the composition alone — a cool, slightly camphoraceous lift that gives the start an unusual herbal-mentholated character. With no citrus, mint carries the entire opening on a single thread.
Oakmoss and iris build the heart. This is where the composition's character lands: oakmoss gives the middle a damp, slightly bitter green-earth depth, while iris adds cool, mineral powder. The pair reads quietly chypre-adjacent rather than floral.
Ambergris, vetiver, and amber close, and the general note list adds marine — pushing the drydown toward a salty, mineral-aquatic close. Vetiver lends earthy-rooty depth, amber rounds the warmth. Overall reads as a marine-mossy-mineral composition with an iris-anchored middle — unisex, cooler-weather suited, casual and outdoor-leaning.
