Juicy tangerine with pepper and coriander gives a lively start. Ginger, orris and clove make the heart spicy and dry. Vetiver, sage and cedar create a fresh woody base.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Esprit de Contradiction is the Matine we most often give to men, though it is just as lovely on a woman. The tangerine is cheerful, but the clove and ginger give it a grown-up edge. It feels clean and energetic, ideal for the office or a bike ride. We reach for it on days when we need waking up. The cedar stays neatly until the afternoon.
