Malin + Goetz has launched Stem, a new unisex fragrance.
Stem captures our idea of a deconstructed garden, bringing to life the secondary scents or quieter facets of floristry that are often overlooked: the crispness of freshly cut stems, the aroma of crushed leaves and of rich soil. These scents are as beautiful and evocative as the flower itself, yet they are often edited out of fragrances. Stem is what lingers on our clippers, hands and clothes while the flowers brighten the kitchen or a bedroom. These are the stalks of green hyacinth and dewy muguet, a fresh blend of mandarin leaves, florets of hyacinth and greens from wild freesia. All are softened by a trio of modern musk molecules to give the composition radiance, texture and sensuality.
Additional notes include rose centifolia stems, jasmine , white cedar, vetiver and ambrox super.
Malin + Goetz Stem is $95 for 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

Oh, this sounds interesting, that smell of gardening that lingers on hands is great.
I agree..this sounds good to me.
Could be. For some reason the “softened by a trio of modern musk molecules” made me suspicious — hope it is not too clean or detergenty, but we’ll see.
I was pretty sure I’d be untempted by perfume this year (I. Seriously. Have. Enough.), but ohhhhh….
This sounds good. Perhaps similar to Green, green, green and green? The bottle even looks similar!
I am guessing it will be less green but we’ll see! (If in fact I ever see it or smell it, which I might not)
Dear Malin + Goetz: your packaging is so medical-looking! How about some kitties?
I like that about them! I’m sure I’m not alone
I can compromise! Kitties in tiny lab coats with stethoscopes…
As a chemist and a cat person, if this had kitties in lab coats, I would have to buy it no matter what it smelled like!
Now this I can get behind!
I’m a bottle person. I’ve passed by many great perfumes because the bottles are to sterile looking. I’m not proud of it, I am just a sucker for a glamorous bottle.
Oooooh. That sounds lovely.
Got this in the mail today. What a total letdown. Doesn’t smell green at all. Smells like dryer sheets thst sound called dewy valley or something like that. The smell of this vs the price…I won’t be trying any of their other products. Just smells so cheap. My goodness am I disappointed. So synthetic smelling. Anyway…benefit from my mistake: try before buying or just pass altogether.
