MANTES LA JOLIE by Astier de Villatte is a unisex composition that approaches vegetal freshness with refinement, clarity and movement. Created by Sylvie Fischer and launched in 2023, this Eau de Parfum belongs to the floral green family, unfolding with an elegant structure that feels both luminous and nuanced. Its character evokes living greenery, open air and quiet sophistication, balancing freshness with a distinctive botanical depth.
The opening is crisp and vivid, led by mint and basil in a sharply defined herbal accord. Bergamot and lemon bring a bright citrus lift that energises the composition and gives the first moments a clean, sparkling quality. From the start, the fragrance suggests a garden stirred by light and breeze, with an immediacy that feels natural, polished and full of life.
As it develops, the heart becomes more textured while preserving the perfume’s transparency. Eucalyptus extends the cool aromatic facet and reinforces the green signature, while ginger introduces a subtle spicy edge that gives the composition momentum. Arabian jasmine adds a floral richness without weighing it down, and green fig softens the structure with a gentle, juicy vegetal tone. Together, these notes create a heart that is graceful, expressive and quietly modern.
The drydown settles into blackcurrant, cedarwood oil and mate. Blackcurrant lends a darker fruity accent with a lively twist, while cedarwood provides shape, calm and a smooth woody frame. Mate leaves behind a dry green impression that deepens the fragrance’s botanical identity and ties the whole composition together. MANTES LA JOLIE is a floral green perfume with a cultured, airy presence—ideal for those drawn to fragrances that feel fresh, articulate and subtly unconventional.
