2# Nota di Viaggio (Shukran...)

The smell of this fragrance is the peak for mint lovers like me. It starts smelling like fresh mint that you pluck out of the ground, the lemongrass gives you that smell of a fresh snap and the beginning of the tobacco gives it a gentle wet soil smell. Once the lemongrass goes you have the smell of mint, fresh spearmint, like crushing the leaves between your fingers. In time the mint starts to loosen up and has a watery quality to it like drinking a mint tea, this is joined by the light and pleasant smell of tobacco. This fragrance is a beautiful journey, but the one thing keeping me from owning a full bottle is the abysmal performance. On skin this fragrance lasts 2-3 hours and even on fabric it lasts maybe an hour longer. Projection is great, there's a six foot bubble around me throughout the wear. Due to the performance the best format for this fragrance is a decant that you can reapply. Truly this is a great fragrance, but keep in mind that it is the exploration of one note (fresh mint) and it has a very short performance window.

I'm not really a fan of mint as a note in scents (while mint tea as a hot drink is very good) but I think this has been done nicely here anyway. It even lasts for a while. I smelt a certain dark undertone too. But where's the tobacco? I just didn't smell it. Why so short list of notes in FR? The homepage gives this list: Moroccan Dwarf Mint, Eucalyptus, Verbena, Lemongrass, Litsea Cubeba, Lemon, Moroccan Chamomile, Tobacco, Sandalwood. Edit: in 02.2026 the list of notes by the homepage has changed: Moroccan Nana Mint, Thai Lemongrass, Moroccan Chamomile, English Tobacco.

Two of my favorite luxury candles of all time are Cire Trudon's Abd el Kader and Mad et Len's Spirituelle which are both best described as Moroccan mint tea scents. This perfume is just like when I burn those candles and I adore wearing it, it's unique and unisex in a way a lot of mint dominant perfumes aren't. The memory it evokes for me is like when my family would go camping in the Rocky Mountains and we would drink mint tea after dinner in front of the fire.

Muddled mint and lemongrass. Tobacco is undetectable. Weak projection, extremely intimate, and longevity is maybe 30 mins-1 hour. Completely unisex. I'd say it's dreadfully overpriced due to poor performance alone. However, this is one of my favorite scents from this house. I just adore it. It's straightforwardly mint tea, which I love. Such a shame that it doesn't last. Edit: You or Someone Like You by ELdO is amazingly comparable and lasts all day.

氣味有大量草本、植物芳香的面向,薄荷的涼、甜、辣被打磨的很溫順模糊,隱約感覺開出有馬鞭草,中調之後有像是菸草、瑪黛茶的乾草面向,整體偏向單一線性的氣味,不過我覺得氣味的明暗對比作的很好,不是無聊的作品(也有可能是我熱愛薄荷) 香氣有一個老城市濾鏡,讓我莫名想起清邁或是京都,舊的木頭門、散焦的光線、有電信桿的街道,氣味噴出的同時感覺時間都慢了下來(但他明明是薄荷香不是什麼木質還是東方調呀!) 背景菸草有大量乾草的面向(苦和辣偏輕微,穿去作有氧的時候才會明顯),強化草本的層次,讓香氣在中後段更貼近創作靈感:薄荷茶,氣質不屬於一般薄荷香水的沁人心脾,明(薄荷)暗(菸草)對比之下,薄荷加上一層氤氳的光圈,菸草的味道莫名的讓我想到舊書的紙張氣味,文藝氣息算是天賦點滿 氣味的轉折走勢綿長溫順,噴6下可以持香大概12小時(噴胸口,在有冷氣的地方)(擴散一個手臂大概有6個小時),通常要半天或是劇烈運動(?)菸草才會get到,是我用過持香擴散很好的薄荷香水
