Perfumer: Frank Voelkl
The charismatic and dashing French sailor steps from his sailboat, the late afternoon breeze ruffles his hair. The atmosphere is warm and salty. With graceful haste he seeks refined refreshment on a beautifully manicured lawn. Suave and impressive. With notes of green grass, sweet freesia and musk.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone arriving with ease after time outdoors: sun-warmed skin, a crisp shirt, and the faint salt of the coast still in the air. It suits close conversation and bright daylight, when you want to feel composed, fresh and unmistakably put together without seeming dressed up.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its green floral transparency can stay lifted and clean. Apply a moderate amount; one to three sprays is enough for a refined, airy trail. On skin it reads smooth and musky, while in the air the freesia and green notes feel brighter and more expansive.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like clean, transparent florals with a green edge and a smooth modern base. It will appeal to those who enjoy fresh niche compositions, subtle musk, and fragrances that feel polished rather than sweet or heavy.

The nose
Frank Voelkl is known for a polished, modern style that often balances clarity, texture and a strong sense of diffusion. His work ranges from airy musks and transparent florals to more structured, contemporary compositions, and he has become especially associated with fragrances that feel easy to wear yet carefully built. For Seychelles Breeze, Voelkl shapes the idea of a warm coastal breeze into a clean floral-green composition, using grass, freesia, orange blossom and ambroxan to create a scent that feels lifted, smooth and lightly salty rather than overtly aquatic.
Collaborators
Serge and Helen Mints, the brand founders, shaped the concept and brief for the fragrance, developing the collection over two years and framing the scent around the image of a charismatic sailor, warm salt air and manicured greenery.

Seychelles Breeze’s concept
Seychelles Breeze was released in 2022 as part of Sly John's Lab’s debut collection. The concept evokes a charismatic sailor stepping off a sailboat into warm, salty air and seeking refreshment on a manicured lawn, translating that image into a fresh floral-green composition built around grass, freesia and musk.
Extra info
Seychelles Breeze is part of Sly John's Lab’s 2022 debut line and is listed as a unisex Eau de Parfum. Its note profile appears in slightly different forms across retailers, but freesia, orange blossom, ambroxan and green notes remain the core signature. It is still in production.
