M/Mink by Byredo

*****
Year: 2010

Notes: adoxal, frankincense, patchouli, clover honey, amber
Created in partnership with M/M (Paris), M/Mink is the most intriguing effort by Byredo to date.

Conveying the concept of ink in olfactory form, it starts out with a strong opening of the potent aroma chemical adoxal. With a cascade of frankincense, green notes, honey and resinous amber, the composition emits a raw, detached and unorthodox musky aroma throughout most of its lifespan.

Personally, one feels that this was a successful collaboration, and should greatly appeal to fans of the offerings by Comme des Garçons. With discreet sillage and moderate longevity, it's the only regular Byredo release that one would recommend without too much reservation.
