Our take

SHAMAN suits the wearer who likes a little ceremony in their surroundings, even when the setting is an ordinary office or a quiet café. MiN NEW YORK gives the opening a cool, green lift through violet leaf and mandarin, while cardamom adds a crisp spark. The effect feels airy and mineral, like rain collected on a dark stone.

As the fragrance settles, labdanum and frankincense bring a resinous depth, with rose adding a soft floral thread and nutmeg warming the center. Patchouli gives the composition an earthy, woody backbone. Honey and ambergris lend a rounded glow, while styrax leaves the base balsamic and polished. The sweetness stays measured, woven through the resins instead of standing apart as a sugary feature.

SHAMAN has long-lasting staying power, and its sillage forms a modest bubble around the wearer. That balance makes it easy to place in close company, where its changing textures can be noticed without taking over the room. It carries enough presence for a meeting, a gallery visit, or dinner, with a thoughtful character that feels equally at home in spring and fall.

Summer brings out its aquatic and ozonic side, while winter gives the amber, patchouli, and labdanum more weight. The unisex profile feels composed and quietly distinctive, suited to someone who enjoys green, spicy, earthy perfume with a calm aromatic edge.
