Perfumer: Hamid Merati-Kashani
This perfume is an interesting parade of herbs morphing into fresh woods and back again with soft velvety amber in the background. There is also a surprise twist: a tiny drop of a fruity rose hidden between the basil and bergamot.
***
While ‘green’ is more or less well explored and accepted as a way of describing a perfume character no other color has really made it into the connoisseurs’ terminology.
In their azure line M.Int are experimenting with the idea of azure scents: think sky, great fresh expanses of sunny meadows, clouds as seen by the first pilots of the first planes, athletes dashing forward in a field and so on.
Each scent in the azure collection has a fresh impulse going in the direction of a sunny horizon through cool herbs, zesty citruses, fresh woods and discrete tender flowers.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A working afternoon with a quick walk between appointments: basil and bergamot bring a brisk, alert tone, while the muted rose and velvety amber soften the impression at closer quarters. It suits a composed presence without the severity of a purely dry woody fragrance.
How to wear
The herbal-citrus balance suggests spring and mild autumn weather, while the amber base offers warmth on cooler days. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or upper chest; beneath a light layer, the softer base can temper the bright opening. In warmer conditions, keep application light.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy aromatic woods but want some fruit and softness rather than an austere green composition. Basil, cedarwood and patchouli provide structure, while apple, rose and amber make this appealing to tastes that sit between crisp freshness and gentle sweetness.

The nose
Hamid Merati-Kashani is a perfumer at Firmenich whose work includes Parfums de Marly’s Layton and Pegasus. His compositions often balance immediately appealing freshness with substantial woody and amber structures. In Pitch and Toss, that contrast takes an aromatic form: basil and bergamot play against cedarwood, patchouli and a softly sweet amber base.
MINT’s story
M.INT builds its identity around fragrance as a trigger for emotion and imagination. Founded by Helen and Serge Mints, the house pursues its own ideal of perfumery rather than broad trend appeal. Its Azure line explores freshness as a colour impression, bringing together cool herbs, citrus, woods and delicate floral touches.
Pitch and Toss’s concept
Pitch and Toss belongs to M.INT’s debut collection and its Azure line, conceived around open skies, sunny expanses and forward movement. The house frames this fragrance through risk and adventure, with Hamid Merati-Kashani’s composition pairing aromatic freshness with the richness of a soft amber base.
Extra info
Pitch and Toss was part of M.INT’s inaugural collection of 20 fragrances. Its Azure classification reflects the house’s experiment with describing fragrance through a colour beyond the familiar term “green.” Although presented as unisex, it also appears in the brand’s men’s discovery selection.
