By the editors · 2 min readMint and lime arrive together with a cool, slightly tart brightness — the mint is clean rather than medicinal, and the lime adds a wet citrus edge. The opening is crisp and immediate.
As sandalwood and vanilla emerge, the coolness begins to soften without disappearing. The benzoin adds a light resinous warmth beneath, but the mint and lime keep things from settling into pure sweetness. The contrast between cool-green and warm-balsamic is the defining tension of this fragrance.
The finish is a quiet, slightly woody vanilla with mint still faintly present. It's understated and close to the skin — better suited to warmer weather given the freshness of its dominant accords.
