By the editors · 2 min readA bright opening — apple, mint, and grapefruit together, with bergamot brightening further. The mint gives a chilled, almost toothpaste-cool edge, apple and grapefruit keeping the fruit tart rather than sweet. It reads exhilarating and slightly aquatic.
The heart is just melon, a single watery-sweet thread that extends the cool fresh mood. The transition is minimal — more evolution than new chapter.
The base settles into oakmoss and musk. Oakmoss adds a damp green floor that grounds the composition with chypre echoes, musk smoothing into skin. Overall character is a fresh fruity-aromatic with an unexpectedly green-mossy close — projecting modestly, reading clean and slightly retro, well-suited to warm-weather daytime wear.
