🌿 The Inspiration: The Crushed Pith
Cold-pressed bitter orange skins meeting crushed garden mint leaves. Imperial Bitter Orange isolates the sharp, verdant core of Eau d'Orange Verte. It removes the softness to focus on Bitter Zest, Mentholated Green, and Damp Earth. It is bracing, linear, and hyper-realistic.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Zest and Root
The scent opens with Biting Bitter Orange. The heart is pure Peppermint Leaf and Cassis. The base is Aged Oakmoss. It is incredibly high-vibration.
