Fresh Green

The scent starts off very intense. After the first few minutes, however, what can initially only be described as green-fresh settles down: now a distinct green pear and more diffuse, green herbs become noticeable. In the latter case, it is less about the leaves and flowers, but rather the stems with their light green hue. Additionally, the slight fruity sweetness of the fragrance is now "at its strongest," and thankfully, it won't get any more intense.

In the next hour, the fragrance changes in such a way that the crisp, perhaps slightly unripe, green pear becomes more prominent, while the stem-like green becomes lighter and more fleeting. Now the mint is clearly recognizable to me, although it is not necessarily realistic.

The subsequent base is, for me, green-synthetic-salty. It is very light and not at all overpowering. The pear is gone, while the mint remains in a synthetic-abstract form.

Even though I haven't read about salt anywhere so far, I can definitely detect it in the base! It is certainly not the dirty sea salt like Oud Minerale - Tom Ford, but rather bears similarities to the synthetic sea breeze of Sel Marin - Heeley.

Projection is strong in the first hour and then remains moderate for about 4 hours, after which the scent becomes close to the skin. Longevity is easily around 10 hours for me.

In my opinion, almost anyone can wear this scent; in spring and summer, it will surely work very well in the office. Personally, I also enjoy wearing it during endurance sports - here it impresses with its presence and freshness without being overpowering or unpleasant.

Overall, a good fragrance!

Hoffentlich liest man in Zukunft häufiger von dir. Informative Schreibe. Kurz und bündig - und kein halber Roman. Bitte mehr.
