MiN NEW YORK SHAMAN is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. SHAMAN opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Nutmeg, Labdanum, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Honey, Ambergris, and Styrax. MiN NEW YORK's SHAMAN carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

MIN NEW YORK's SHAMAN is a divisive violet-leaf-and-incense trip, a scent that's all contradictions and hidden depths. Don't let the fresh, almost innocent opening fool you; there's a dark, earthy patchouli heart beating beneath the surface, making it an experience for those who like their fragrances complex and a bit mysterious. It's not for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its unique, almost 'cyberpunk' vibe.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

SHAMAN opens with an unexpected, uplifting burst of ozonic violet leaf and bright mandarin, given a sophisticated edge by a whisper of cardamom. This fresh, airy facade soon gives way to a deeper, more complex heart of resinous frankincense and labdanum, warmed by spicy nutmeg and a subtle rose. The dry down is where the true character emerges: an earthy, honeyed patchouli mingles with ambergris and styrax, grounding the initial brightness in a warm, mysterious embrace.
