by Xinú
Monstera by Xinú is a crisp, vegetal green fragrance that evokes the lush, damp atmosphere of a tropical rainforest. It opens with a bold, stemmy green note—like crushing a fresh monstera leaf—imbued with a clean, soapy freshness that feels both natural and modern. This core is layered with subtle floral undertones, not sweet or fruity, but more like a quiet orchid or white datura emerging subtly in the dry-down. The scent feels botanical and immersive, as if stepping into a jungle sanctuary with wet stone, moss, and a hint of mineral earth. Its character is refined and understated—more about texture and mood than overt notes—making it feel quietly luxurious rather than ostentatious. While sillage is moderate, the projection can feel fleeting on some skin types, and longevity is inconsistent across users, though some report it lasting well into the evening. It suits spring and summer days, especially in warm climates, and works best when worn as a personal, intimate scent rather than a bold statement.
