Évocations: Brittany Breeze • Lubin

The spearmint and star anise give it this crisp, almost herbal bite that dries down into a soft, sweet tonka glow. It’s a fougère that actually feels airy, not heavy—I keep catching whiffs of that lavender and thyme hours later.

The spearmint and star anise hit first and it's bracing, almost like crushed herbs, but then the lavender and tonka mellow it into something soft and powdery on my skin. Two sprays on my wrist lasted a full workday, which I wasn't expecting from a fougère this green.

The mint opening is so sharp and green it almost smells like crushed leaves, then the lavender and tonka settle it into something warm. I've been wearing it to work and it lasts a solid six hours without being loud. Genuinely one of the more interesting fougères I've tried.
