About

Imagine stepping into a humid greenhouse, but instead of steamy soil, you're greeted with crisp, green stems and chilled citrus tea. Bergamot and mint offer an invigorating, almost herbaceous opening, which quickly settles into a clean, musky heart. There's a persistent, dewy greenness throughout, often evoking lily of the valley or fresh-cut flowers rather than the listed notes, making for a uniquely watery, sometimes powdery, floral character.
