Le Couvent des Minimes Aqua Minimes Cologne Intense 50ml Spray Jacques Bogart Green cardamom and incense areAqua Minimes opens with neroli and bergamot that clean, slightly bitter citrus that smells of a monastery garden after rain. The cologne settles into a green heart with a whisper of musk, staying close to skin rather than announcing itself. Unisex Eau de Cologne, 50ml spray. Three or four sprays in the morning sit invisibly under clothes and SPF, reapplying cleanly if you need the lift mid afternoon.
