Blue line
Perfumer: Christian Rostain
A tuberose illusion: layered, intoxicating and voluminous.
A riddle of a floral in which honeyed orange blossom mixed with bitter sweet absinthe produce a fantasy bloom: voluminous, diffusive and seductive. The composition rests on dark musks and Peru balsam. Winged Heart is all about the balance of bitter and sweet, dark and light and is pure sensory and aesthetic thrill.
Try if you like Nuit de Bakelite by Naomi Goodsir and Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close quarters and deliberate presence, where its floral haze and bitter-green spark can unfold without being rushed. It suits someone who likes their perfume to feel a little theatrical, with a soft but unmistakable trail that lingers in the room after they’ve moved on.
How to wear
Best in cool to cold weather, when its musky floral body can bloom without turning heavy. Apply sparingly at first; one or two sprays are enough to let the absinthe lift, orange blossom sweetness and dark base develop into a long, diffusive trail on skin and in fabric.
Who it’s for
For wearers who enjoy floral perfumes with a vintage cast, a sweet-bitter tension and a musky, slightly balsamic depth. It will appeal to those who like expressive niche scents that feel sensual, polished and a little unconventional.

The nose
Christian Rostain is a French perfumer with a long career shaped by classical training at Robertet in Grasse, where he began in the 1970s. His work often leans into polished floral, woody and musky structures, balancing clarity with sensual depth. For Winged Heart, Rostain builds a floral illusion rather than a literal bouquet: absinthe sharpens the opening, orange blossom brings honeyed volume, and the musky-balsamic base gives the composition its lingering, opalescent trail. It is a good example of his ability to make a fragrance feel both structured and atmospheric.
MINT’s story
M.INT is a niche house built around emotion, individuality and a slightly eccentric sense of style. Its fragrances are conceived as expressive objects rather than safe crowd-pleasers, with a focus on mood, imagination and a distinctive creative signature.
Winged Heart (Discontinued)’s concept
Winged Heart belongs to M.INT’s Blue Line and was created around the idea of spreading wings: a fragrance meant to suggest hope, confidence and a more positive outlook. The composition plays on contrast, using bitter absinthe and luminous orange blossom over a dark musky base to create a floral fantasy that feels both airy and intense.
Extra info
Winged Heart is part of M.INT’s Blue Line and is still in production in spray form. Retail descriptions often frame it as a “tuberose illusion,” even though orange blossom, absinthe and musks are the core of its structure.
