How it wears

The fragrance opens fresh and slightly fruity — sparkling aldehydes and bergamot lifted by green galbanum, tarragon and coriander give an immediate impression of polished masculine elegance. The heart turns refined and slightly powdery, with geranium, jasmine, rose and lily of the valley creating a soft floral core. As it dries down, smooth tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood, amber and cedar wrap the composition into a long, slightly opulent finish.

Who it's for

Minotaure is for men who love classical, slightly opulent oriental perfumery — wearers who appreciate the polished, slightly grown-up character of early-1990s masculine signatures, fans of vanilla-amber compositions and those rediscovering a beloved cult classic.

How and when to wear it

This is a true day-to-evening fragrance and is at its most flattering through autumn and winter when the warm vanilla-amber base really comes through. Spray two to three times onto the chest, neck and inside the wrists.
