ONSEN

Onsen MiN New York is a vibrant and soothing fragrance that combines earthy, aromatic, and fresh-spicy accords effortlessly. It starts with an energizing, crisp opening, transitioning into a serene, herbaceous heart. The rich, woody base offers a smooth, grounding finish that lingers gently. It evokes a sense of rejuvenation and calm, like a serene escape into nature. Ideal for any moment, Onsen MiN New York is an elegant, yet approachable scent that leaves a memorable impression of peace and sophistication.

This is a unique and beautiful composition, in some ways simple yet so well made - like a verse from haiku poetry. Very green and dewy, very slightly bitter. But mostly fresh. Cold mineraly notes come through too, like a rock in an ice cold creek would smell. Very prominent cypress and pine, hints of freshly cut grass. All very fresh and green, reminds of crisp cool springtime evergreen forrest, a hidden brook babbling by, ancient rocks covered in moss. Very scenic and sensory scent.

This scent as unique effect. The only way I can describe it is that it is the scent of a shaft of light wrapping around some dew on a leaf. It is more than a scent. It is palpable. The only concern I would have with this is I don't know if I could wear it because I like it too much and would not want to get used to it. It is more of a poem than a scent.

Min New York Onsen smells just like a luxury spa experience. It has this beautiful aquatic, fresh scent that instantly makes me feel at peace. It’s the kind of fragrance I reach for when I want to unwind and relax after a busy day.

A green/piney unisex fragrance, that a plastick-y vanilla note (unlisted but clearly noticeable) makes it lean towards feminine during an opening that results nice, clean and niche-quality but not unique (some remote similarities with CN Cyber Garden). I wasn't impressed at that point, but the vetiver and ambergris makes it pretty unique, very interesting and definitively masculine in the drydown. Good-but-not-great top with a heavenly drydown. Still, I cannot recommend it because for the price I expect a pyramid-long wow effect that takes too long to show up. Initially a pass for me, but I may change my mind should I find a great deal on ebay.
