Teeb by Blend Oud opens with a crisp spray of green apple, crushed mint leaves, and clean lavender. As the top notes settle, geranium and warm cloves give way to a dry woody base of pine needles, vetiver, and moss. It wears like a refined 1990s aromatic fougere tailored for spring mornings and daytime office wear.
