Mendittorosa North is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Mendittorosa's North carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

North is divisive; some find it a sublime, meditative escape to a pristine forest, others get industrial solvents and banana. If you're after a cold, woody, aldehydic hit, it's worth a sniff, but sample first.

Scent Profile

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

With moderate longevity and sillage, North isn't overpowering, making it a decent choice for casual wear and even some office settings if applied lightly. Its cool, fresh, and somewhat unique profile might be too avant-garde for formal events and a bit too 'still' for high-energy sports, but it shines during the day.

About

Opening with a sharp, almost metallic blend of aldehydes and ozonic notes, North instantly evokes cold, crisp air. This quickly folds into a powerful, dry cedar, reminiscent of a freshly built sauna or an ancient library. Subtle floral touches of jasmine and a spicy kick of pepper and nutmeg weave through, adding complexity without softening the woody backbone. The drydown settles into an earthy vetiver and patchouli, maintaining its cool, woody character.
