Floral Ectoplasm and Splendid Earth
There is something about the accord of wet earth in a fragrance that I find so utterly captivating. I’m aware that this may not be the most approachable nor the “prettiest” note for one to gravitate towards but I find it so powerfully grounding. Pun totally intended, of course. Now as much as I am mesmerized, very few fragrances can truly harness the note and imbue it with an thoroughly chic magnetism and refined harmony but one which truly has is MiN’s exquisite ‘The Botanist”. The brilliance of this composition is how this accord is so pulchritudinously foiled by an enormously ebuillent exhibition of dewy apple, citric grapefruit and a rather luminous flash of bergamot. There is a a soft and somber emerald hue of vetiver which encapsulates the atmosphere, encompassed by the phantasmic sillage of flowers which have been plucked from the loamy soil. The Botanist is a hyperrealized sequence of a spring time garden, without needless romanticism or flights of fancy. A portrait of authenticity and a study in how the visceral splendour and genuine essence of what is surrounding you always bares the most astonishing beauty.

Smells of freshly cut flower stems - just like when you step into a florist shop. Update: also get lots of vetiver.

At the start, a lily of the valley appears, only to disappear right away. Instead, the scent develops into an indistinct fresh-green.

The gardener has slacked off. Vetiver + cypress overwhelm everything. Just a hint of flowers or herbs. Light green, fresh, bitter+boring.

Botanist with experience in vetiver monoculture. Knows little about flowering plants, herbs, and composting. Loves musk instead.

Beautiful bright vetiver with a bit too much citrus. Musk holds up well. Unfortunately, like with almost all Min NY... too weak.

Top note: green-floral-herb - lovely
I can't describe the base, as it completely vanished in no time at all.

Earth - fresh and sweet - the perfect scent for a stroll in the botanical garden or for planting herbs or even more :)

bright vetiver with a hint of cypress, no flowers but with musk. The base is slightly sweet vetiver... hmmmm I like it

Vetiver is at the center of this garden, surrounded by individual herbaceous-conifer branches and delicate little flowers. The dry down lasts long.
