Concombre d'Inde et Menthe de Syrie

A transparent water-based perfume where salty, juicy cucumber meets cool mint and soft Mediterranean herbs, then fades into a gentle, musk-tinged green veil that feels like a sea breeze over a summer garden.

Scent Development and Character

The fragrance opens with a blast of watery, slightly salty cucumber set against bright, cooling mint, evoking a brisk sea breeze over a lush vegetable garden. As it develops, gentle herbal facets inspired by Mediterranean herbs add a soft green sweetness around the cucumber, keeping the mint lively rather than sharp. The drydown settles into a delicate, clean musk-tinged cucumber accord with mild mineral nuances, remaining transparent, green and quietly refreshing on the skin.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Because it is an alcohol-free, water-based Eau Triple with soft projection, it behaves like a fragrant mist, ideal for close-to-skin wear in warm weather or scent-sensitive settings. Its green, mineral cucumber and mint profile suits daytime, casual and office use, layering well over skincare without becoming overpowering, and can be refreshed frequently thanks to its lightness. Best suited to spring and summer, with enough soft green freshness to work in mild early autumn; less appropriate for very cold winter wear. Sillage is Editorial estimate: Sillage is very soft and intimate, staying close to the skin like a light mist, with only a gentle aura in the first hour. Longevity is Editorial estimate: As a water-based, alcohol-free Eau Triple, longevity is short to moderate, typically about 2–3 hours on skin before becoming a very soft trace.
