Les Princes du Golfe Mint Tea Extrait

Description

Mint Tea is sweet mint tea by a wood fire: cool mint and pepper up top, incense and iris in the middle, vanilla and leather below. It was composed by Emna Doghri and Alexis Bessy, the founder of Les Princes du Golfe. The house's story is a traveling prince offered a glass of hot mint tea by a stranger's fire in the Atlas mountains, and the scent follows it closely. Mint, pink pepper and bergamot open fresh and bright. Iris, incense, patchouli and rose give the heart a soft, smoky warmth, and vanilla, labdanum and leather make a sweet, slightly dark base. It is fresher than most incense scents and warmer than most mint ones.

An honest note: there is not much published wear data for this house yet, so treat these figures as a guide. The mint is most vivid in the opening and becomes a cool accent inside the warmer base.

Unisex.

When should I wear it?
Spring and Fall, day or evening.
