Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0โ€“30 minutes are dominated by a sharp, cooling burst of mint, immediately softened by the spicy warmth of cardamom. This combination is both invigorating and slightly sweet, setting a fresh, energetic tone.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

After about an hour, the heart emerges with pronounced sea notesโ€”salty, aquatic, and reminiscent of a coastal breeze. The mint recedes but remains present, while the cardamom adds a subtle spice that keeps the marine accord from feeling flat.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

Four or more hours in, the base notes of woodsy and sweet notes take over. The woods provide a dry, earthy anchor, while the sweet notes (likely a light amber or musk) add a soft, comforting finish. The overall effect is a clean, slightly sweet woody scent that lingers close to the skin.
