A ploop of tentacle-green mint, wet juniper, gum mastic, puckered bergamot, cardamom pod, thyme, and vetiver.


Wet: I was drawn in by the interesting sounding combo of mastic and cardamom, but so far this is all about the mint and juniper - smells like gin with mint in it, it's very pleasant. It's quite a light scent so far, clean and refreshing. I am quite enjoying it, though I don't know that it would be something I want to wear. More than anything I want to drink it...


Dry: The crook of my arm where I have applied this has gotten super cold from the mint! This is definitely refreshing! I really like the combo of mint and juniper. I can't detect the vetiver at all. I do think I get tiny bits of some herbal/spice notes, but nothing I could for sure identify. This is extremely pleasant, clean and refreshing. I don't often reach for mint scents, but if I did, I could see this being a go-to. A must try if you love mint or juniper! This would really having a cooling effect on a hot summer day (seriously, my arm is COLD).

Thyme, juniper, bergamot, and gum mastic with minty overlays. This is a strange odd one. It's cool, refreshing, and kinda oozy tentacley weird. Honestly, this is more like six octopus a-chilling in an aquarium. Being you know, low-key Cthulu guys. Very fresh, aquatic and gender neutral. Medium throw and wear length.

Spearmint in the bottle and on application. Juniper quickly comes in, but the whole thing starts to sour. It dries as stale old spearmint gum — that must be the mastic. not for me.

I was generously frimped this or would never have tried it -- mint is a big no for me, as is gin. This is all big mint with juniper and citrus -- I would have said lime, I can't specifically make out bergamot. I'm not getting any cardamom or vetiver, so if you're a mint lover who detests vetiver, I suspect you're safe here. I appreciate the artistry -- I can see how this might be a kind of kicky, cooling olfactory mint julep on a hot day -- but it is way too far out of my comfort zone.
