Mate Leaves + Wild Jasmine
Fragrance notes
Character
Green tea and mandarin orange open the scent with a brisk, juicy lift. The citrus feels bright and immediate, while the tea adds a clean, slightly vegetal edge. Wild jasmine enters soon after, soft and slightly indolic, wrapped around the grassy bitterness of mate. Lemon zest cuts through the floral heart with a sharp, oily brightness. The early stage is energetic and a little rough around the edges, like crushed leaves in a glass of iced tea.
White tea smooths the composition as it settles. The jasmine recedes into a pale, dewy background, letting oakmoss bring a cool, damp earthiness to the foreground. Cedar adds a dry, pencil-shaving sharpness that keeps the moss from feeling too heavy. The mate lingers as a bitter, leafy thread, preventing the white tea from becoming too watery. It becomes a scent of shaded paths and damp soil, where the air feels clear and the greenery is thick underfoot.
The aromatic and fresh spicy accords give it a gentle, herbal complexity that never turns sweet. It works beautifully for a slow walk through a garden after rain, when the ground is dark and the air is cool. Someone who enjoys the bitter side of nature, and prefers a scent that feels like foliage rather than flowers, will find a steady companion here. Wear it when the world is waking up and everything smells of clean earth and new growth.
