MALIN+GOETZ Stem is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Stem opens with Hyacinth, Mandarin Leaf, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Green Notes and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Ambroxan. MALIN+GOETZ's Stem carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a clean, fresh, and surprisingly complex floral that leans green. While some find it a bit too subtle or laundry-like, for many it's a delightful, natural-smelling spring day in a bottle, perfectly unisex despite its initial floral punch.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with a fresh, clean character, make it highly suitable for casual wear and the office. It's light enough for sport but might be too subtle for a formal event or to stand out on a date.

About

Stem opens with the dewy, almost cool scent of hyacinth and freesia, immediately evoking a fresh bouquet, brightened by a hint of mandarin leaf. As it settles, the heart reveals verdant green notes, reminiscent of freshly cut stems, intertwined with a subtle, airy jasmine. The dry down is a clean blend of soft musk, earthy vetiver, and a hint of warm, modern ambroxan, leaving a sophisticated skin scent.
