Tuesday

This was a blind buy success for me. I was hoping for a bit more of a sweet guava note. It also layers amazingly with Granita from Aziri (a beautiful, sweet melon scent) which gives me that little bit of extra sweetness I was looking for. This is stunning on its own though! On the initial spray you get a fresh and invigorating burst of mint, tea and maybe a touch of basil. The opening is very green with a slight sharpness. As it dries down the other notes join in and it mellows out. The notes are so beautifully intertwined, it’s very difficult to pick them out individually. This is a calming, relaxing, yet uplifting concoction that will be absolutely amazing for a hot summers day. I do get the vibe of being somewhere in the mountains, relaxing by a beautiful lake on a fresh sunny morning. It definitely has that nature/spa type of vibe. Very unique and perfectly unisex. I really loved the personal, handwritten message from Arielle Shoshanna which I thought was such a lovely touch. This really is a stunning masterpiece! I do with Arielle Shoshanna sold her products to the UK though. I used a forwarding company who definitely ripped me off, as the shipping was more expensive than the perfume itself. I also don’t love the bottle cap, although it does stand out and is also unique and fun I guess.

A new favourite day of the week. And my favourite niche of all: the spa scent. Tuesday is liquid, crisp, reviving. It starts with bright-green basil and mint, which mirrors the acidity of Friday’s lemon-lime. An hour later the greens settle into raw ginger and a clear, greenish tea. This is where it also takes on a tangy, convincing guava. It’s a ton of fun. My other favourite spa scent – Régime des Fleurs’s Cacti – imagines a much more languid spa than Tuesday. Cacti is a gentle caress, floating in the shallows of a leafy meditation garden. Tuesday is a steamy deep tissue massage, followed by a cold plunge into an infinity pool of jeweled mosaics. Think less Ritz Carlton and more W Hotel. Longevity is also robust (>12h on my pyjama t-shirt). The vivid, aqua-cerulean of the vessel describes the scent perfectly, even though the day Tuesday has always felt periwinkle to my synesthesia. (Rooting for a mango-orange Thursday). Mental Snapshot: A rooftop lounge, high above the rabble of the city, glass panels vibrating with ambient house beats. A sanctuary for relaxation and reinvigoration, a healing house for hangovers and heartbreak. This is a spa that serves mojitos, in addition to hot matcha. tl;dr: neon onsen 🦋🌱

Absolutely lovable scent. Your beautiful wife comes back from the farmers market with a bouquet of flowers, fresh seasonal fruits, mint, a basil plant, and some cute homemade soaps. The smell fills the kitchen abundantly. You plant the basil in a little terracotta pot by the window and chop some up with mint to make lemonade. Life is good. You drink on the fire escape together, the breeze is cool, the summer feels endless. Calming, herby muddled basil mint, citrussy, guava, fresh realistic lime. This scent is so bright, aromatic, and realistic. Unfortunately, like many fresh mint scents, this fragrance has very poor longevity. Friends smelling it noted: fresh, light, airy, raindrops, one association with christmas (I think because of the citrus) and liked it.

Really love this scent and it is definitely my favorite from this line (which I really love the bottle designs of btw) it is fresh and green, starts off strong with the mint and guava and settles a little more into the tea and grassy notes. It’s a very green fragrances but, it is not a green tea perfume, definitely more of an herbal tea, which I don’t mind and it makes it a little more interesting to me. I love a green, leafy scent and this is a nice alternative to some of my weirder fragrances while still satisfying my desire for unique, fun and fresh scents.

A refreshingly green and herbal spa like tea scent. It opens with a sweet and fresh basil paired with mint that never feels too sharp or sweet like a lot of mint notes tend to be. The sweetness here comes from a pulpy guava that has a tinge of tartness to it too. Then you get the tea, and it’s richly aromatic, with the guava still headstrong and the mint following. The dry down is an earthier tea with vetiver now, with remnants of soft mint and sweet guava. A fun combination of notes that feels perfect for Tuesday as a day of the week.
