Petitgrain and bergamot open with a bright herbal-citrus character before mint takes over — sharp, almost meditative, the kind of mint that smells like a sprig in cold water rather than candy.

By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and bergamot open with a bright herbal-citrus character before mint takes over — sharp, almost meditative, the kind of mint that smells like a sprig in cold water rather than candy. The mint dominates the heart almost entirely.
The base shifts the register: amberwood, incense, vanilla, heliotrope, iris all stacked together — a powdery-resinous closure that contrasts the bright top sharply. The transition from clean mint to powdery-amber is the perfume's narrative interest. Suited to spring and fall, casual and contemplative wear; an unusually structured composition for what could have been a simple herb-cologne.
