“Ne t’inquiète pas, minou.” lying in a field of grass, warmed from the sun, feet kicking in the air. A picnic is scattered around you. A can of half-drank grapefruit soda is perched just out of reach. A fluffy white kitten curls up beside you. You blow a giant strawberry flavored bubble. It pops and, giggling, you peel the gum off of your mouth. A nearby fig tree rustles in the wind. For a moment, everything feels less complicated.
minou might strike you as a bit domesticated for a brand named færal, but even wild things need a sweet escape once and a while.
Vibes: Nana by Ai Yazawa, a decadent picnic with a spread of magazines, a teenager’s messily curated room, taking outfit pics with polaroids, retrofuture nostalgia.

Wearing Minou is less about making an entrance and more about giving someone a reason to stay. People tend to lean in and ask, “what is that delicious scent you’re wearing?”. Minou is sensual, layered, and touched by nostalgia. Sexy in the way whispered things are sexy. Playful, yet poised. 10/10.

When my wife wears this she smells like strawberries and marshmallows. Perfection.

I’m a novice when it comes to fragrance. I simply could not have prepared myself for the experience of wearing this for the first time. Intoxicating, truly. Mesmerizing. I wore it for the first time on NYE and obviously got a thousand compliments on it. I didn’t know how to describe it, I couldn’t even remember how to pronounce the name (meen oou, so cute!) and maybe it’s better that way. I got to have one night, just me and Minou. The bartender gave me a free shot of tequila, coincidence? I think not. I’ve had it on my vanity since that night, waiting patiently for another night worthy of the raw power contained in this tiny bottle. I can’t wait.

Starts off like a sophisticated fruit tart, ends like you found a pack of Hubba Bubba in your purse from 2006. It’s sweet and bold, such an amazing combination! The icing on the cake is the cute little travel sized bottle!
