No.8 Tonic Vert
No.8 Tonic Vert by Thomas Kosmala is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon, mandarin and lime, moves into mint, geranium and pomelo and dries down to vetiver, musk and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
Heart
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Pomelo Giant, mild grapefruit. Watery and refreshing.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
