Azure line
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
This is the scent of someone moving through the day with purpose but without haste: crisp shirt cuffs, open windows, a notebook, a clean line of thought. Its herbal brightness and dry woods feel most natural in close company, where the amber stays soft and the green facets read as composed rather than loud.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, when its aromatic herbs and woods can stay crisp and readable. Apply lightly to the chest or neck for a neat, intimate trail; a couple of sprays is enough, as the amber and patchouli settle into a smooth, velvety drydown that lingers without heaviness.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like aromatic-woody scents with a clean edge, subtle fruit, and a refined amber base. It suits people drawn to polished niche fragrances that feel fresh, structured and quietly distinctive rather than sweet or overly dense.
Release year
2016
The nose
Hamid Merati-Kashani is a Firmenich perfumer known for compositions that balance clarity with warmth, often weaving woody, oriental and aromatic materials into fragrances with a polished, modern structure. His work is frequently described as expressive yet controlled, with an emphasis on texture and contrast. For Pitch and Toss, he shapes the scent around a brisk aromatic opening and a dry woody core, letting basil, citrus and patchouli move against ambered softness. The result fits his taste for fragrances that feel composed, directional and subtly narrative rather than merely decorative.
Collaborators
Serge and Helen Mints, the founders of M.INT, appear to have shaped the brand’s creative direction and the Azure line concept, working with the perfumer on a collection built around airy, horizon-like freshness and refined materials.
MINT’s story
M.INT builds fragrances around personal emotion, creative freedom and a highly polished niche aesthetic. The house favors uncommon compositions with a strong conceptual frame, pairing modern technical precision with rich materials and a sense of individuality.
Pitch and Toss’s concept
Pitch and Toss belongs to M.INT’s Azure line, a collection conceived around the idea of blue-toned freshness: open sky, sunlit meadows, forward motion and cool, herbaceous air. The fragrance was launched in 2016 as part of the brand’s debut collection and was built as an aromatic-woody composition with basil, bergamot, patchouli and amber at its core.
Extra info
Pitch and Toss is part of M.INT’s Azure line, a concept built around the color blue as a fragrance mood. The name suggests chance and risk, which matches the brand’s own framing of the scent as an aromatic escape with a forward-moving, adventurous character.
