Esprit de Contradiction Maison Matine 2019

Such a weird but surprisingly enjoyable scent! On paper, I can barely smell anything after the initial burst of gin and tonic, which fades within five minutes. However, on my skin, it’s a different story. The gin and tonic note is still there but softer, quickly followed by warm spices.

As it settles, it transforms into a comforting “baby smell,” reminiscent of Mustela baby lotion. It’s fresh, soft, and oddly addictive. While it’s definitely unconventional, there’s something about it that keeps me coming back for another sniff.
