Shēng
Soft mint settles into warm, skin-close depth in a fragrance celebrating germination and life awakening in forest soil.
Perfumer: Maxime Exler, Veronique Nyberg
Shēng means “life” in Chinese. AENTOS celebrates the moment a seed germinates and countless small lives awaken in forest soil. The mint feels soft and rounded, like leaves warmed by sunlight, rather than sharply cold. Basil, peppermint, spearmint and clary sage establish its herbal opening, followed by cedarwood and lily of the valley. Patchouli, vetiver, white musk and ambergris form a warm, subtly animalic finish. The fragrance stays close to the skin, carrying the theme of emerging life through a gentle, textured green character.
