Cimes de Grenoble

Cimes de Grenoble is a fresh, green, aromatic unisex perfume from Ô Médina Perfumery, the Grenoble house that sells its own perfumes from its shop. It sits in the house's Collection Classique and comes in a 30ml bottle. The house says it was inspired by alpine landscapes, and describes a bright opening of eucalyptus, lemon, mint and pine that gives an immediate feeling of pure air. The heart is nettle, rose, lily and chamomile, which the house calls a plant-led, lightly floral accord evoking mountain meadows in sunlight. The base is oakmoss, mint and hay, described as a woody, green and authentic trail. Nettle and hay are unusual notes in a fragrance of this kind, so the result should read as herbal and natural more than sweet or powdery. The house presents it as an easy, versatile scent for every day and for special moments, for people who like natural, invigorating smells. No perfumer is named and no launch year is given. The product text states no concentration, but the label printed on the bottle in the shop photo reads Extrait de parfum. The house gives no figures for longevity or projection, and no independent wearer reviews were found, so the performance scores here follow the format and the house's own description. It is a sensible pick for spring and summer, for daytime and casual wear, and for anyone who wants a green alpine freshness rather than a sweet one.
