Mantes-la-Jolie Astier de Villatte

With one of my favorite fragrance openings of all time, Mantes-la-Jolie begins with a viscerally photo-real crushed mint and basil, as if smelling your hands after trimming your herb garden. The dry down progresses to a nice fig within a half-hour or so, supported in the base by a light cedar. An aromatic fresh masterpiece.
