MiN New York Chef's Table Eau de Parfum (sample)

Imagine freshly harvested greens from the garden, their stems slightly weathered and releasing a grassy-spicy scent. On a chef's table, there's always a bundle of aromatic herbs, with basil and tomato stems poised to be transformed into a vibrant pesto sauce. This is the initial impression created by Chef's Table, a fragranced water by MiN New York. This fougère fragrance unfolds with a juicy and spicy intensity, as if this collection of greens is being chopped right before you on a sturdy oak board, absorbing all the juices. It begins cool, strikingly fresh, herbaceous, and invigorating, with a burst of lively citrus. Dewy flowers at its heart and a musky-woody base evoke the sensation of a garden after rain. The scent is remarkably realistic and multifaceted, a complete gastronomic masterpiece! Each facet can conjure a multitude of associations: gazpacho with basil, spaghetti with tomato sauce, fresh mint, spicy cilantro, oregano, bell pepper, and much more. It’s all the magic of perfumers and their extraordinary skill in blending notes, which you can experience for yourself.

Top notes open with a rich spiciness — basil and green tomato leaves create a juicy and lively accord, accentuated by fresh bergamot.

The heart of the fragrance reveals soft Turkish rose with cool, camphorous hints of clary sage, along with light powdery touches of iris.

The base completes the composition with velvety tonka beans, gray amber, and musk, creating a cozy, gastronomic sensation of warmth and elegance.
