This more or less smells like what it’s called.
Personally I prefer to just go out in to nature and smell that. But if you’re stuck indoors all day and want to feel like you’ve been outside this is pretty good for it.
If I could trade it for Suede though…I would.

serenity and nature is associations that I get from this fragrance. I had my initial reservations due to the soil note but pushed those aside as I love vetiver and I’m glad I did.
highly recommended for anyone who likes green and natural smelling fragrances.

Blast with the herbal, green mint with its cooling effect(menthol) and slightly spicy sweetness. Together with the soil tincture note and vetiver, the mint almost fools me to think about some aspects of a clean, airy patchouli.
It’s damp and earthy, reminds me of walking through the camphor woods after a heavy rain in a cool summer day, a mixed scents of soaked woods and wet soil.
Once the scent drys down, the mint draws back a bit to let the vetiver show more. The vetiver used here are more in style of the note used in Terre d’Hermes, Timbuktu and Private Label rather than say, Guerlain Vetiver, Grey Vetiver or Encre Noir.
The vetiver shows more of its owe aroma instead of being smoky, dry and paper like smell. (Personally I prefer the latter aspects of the note) It provides a fuller body to the fragrance, preventing the scent falling flat.
I won’t say the fragrance became a vetiver dominant scent though, as all 3 notes works well together, vetiver in the core, radiating its multi-facets aroma through the soil tincture note that dusts the scent a little bit of dirt and finally the mint wraps up as an out layer, keeping the scent cool and refreshing like splashing some water.
It’s a very smart conceptualised and structured scent: you can smell the root(vetiver) of a plant growing through the earth(soil tincture) and its leaves and sterns(mint) that just being watered.
Before I smelt it I’d imaging the scent to be a lot more bitter, darker and mossier with a retro vibe. On contrary, it’s fresh and bright yet down to the earth. A pretty natural smelling scent.
Very decent offerings from this brand.

Loving gardening and mint I was really excited when I heard about this – what an original idea!
I was happy when I first put this fragrance on, smelling the soil (yes, really), soft musky woodiness, and a hint of mint, but 15 minutes lates it evolves on me into a slightly uncomfortable garden mix.
Now, rather than gently weeding in the mint bed I feel like I’m seriously earth moving along with creosoting (the old stuff) the garden fence. The vetiver seems harsher. The mint is no longer fresh and something hits the back of my throat leaving a suspicion of mint sauce.
Despite all of that I actually do really like the smell but I’m not sure that I want to smell like this.
I’m persevering

A really nice green and slightly earthy scent. It feels like spring time. The musk and orange sweeten and soften the Vetiver and mint. It is very well blended.
The mint and orange sadly wain quite quickly (not surprising really) and now it feels very much down in the undergrowth. I’m a keen gardener and all too familiar with these smells.
This is not a heavy and damp fragrance. It has an airiness but its not particularly a fresh scent. The soil tincture and musk hang in to the end.
I get moderate sillage and longevity. It’s a lovely scent for casual wear. Very unisex. If you love green and natural smelling scents then this is well worth trying. It’s half price at the moment!

this one amazed me upon 1st sniff, starts out with a realistic fresh mint note then the soil comes through, again a realistic soil note! imagine all the smells you would encounter gardening, this is that bottled! fantastic job!
