MiN NEW YORK THE BOTANIST is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. THE BOTANIST opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Apple, settles into a heart of Cypress, Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Ambergris. MiN NEW YORK's THE BOTANIST carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive green vetiver, with some finding it a unique take on nature and others simply 'bark mulch' or 'generic'. Definitely try before you buy, as opinions vary wildly on its unconventional green musk profile.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Office Date

Its moderate sillage and fresh, green character make it suitable for casual wear and the office, particularly during the day. However, its unconventional profile and lack of traditional elegance make it less ideal for formal settings or highly intimate dates.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

THE BOTANIST opens with a fresh, zesty burst of bergamot and grapefruit, sharpened by a hint of pink pepper and a crisp apple note. This quickly transitions to a green, almost earthy heart where cypress and a dewy lily of the valley mingle with subtle rose and peony. The dry-down settles into a musky vetiver base, grounded by the mineral touch of ambergris, creating an unusual, damp, green forest floor aroma.
