By the editors · 2 min readMint and violet leaf open cool and crisp, a combination that reads as freshly crushed greens rather than candy-mint sweetness. The violet leaf adds a subtle metallic-green quality that prevents the opening from veering into toothpaste territory.
Lavender and geranium form a classic aromatic heart—clean, slightly herbal, with geranium's green-rose character softening lavender's more assertive edge. The base—sandalwood, cedar, musk—is a reliable fougère close, providing warmth and skin-feel without weight or heaviness.
A competent everyday masculine, best in spring or summer when something uncomplicated, clean, and easy-wearing is precisely what the situation calls for.
