Manos Gerakinis - Methexis
Methexis - the second collaboration between Manos Gerakinis Parfums and renowned perfumer Chris Maurice, and a finalist in The Fragrance Foundation UK Awards 2023.
Following the success of Immortelle, this fragrance is the second gourmand offering in the Greek fragrance house’s collection. It presents a sophisticated, creamy, and enticing composition centred around the delicious theme of fig.
Methexis opens with an enticing burst of ripe and juicy fig, enhanced by the tangy bite of blackcurrant and the luscious sweetness of dried fruits. The creamy, milky fig aroma is then beautifully complemented by a smooth, powdery cocoa note, with touches of honey, vanilla, and cinnamon sprinkling warmth throughout the heart of the fragrance. Despite the richness of these sweet notes, the fig’s green, slightly bitter leaves balance the composition perfectly before settling into a base of amber, musk, and woody notes.
What makes Methexis truly special is its balance. While many gourmand fragrances can be overwhelmingly sweet, the green, slightly bitter leaves of the fig introduce a subtle earthiness, preventing the composition from becoming overly sweet. This delicate balance is maintained as the scent settles into its base, where amber, musk, and woody notes provide a sensual, grounded finish.
Though gourmand fragrances are typically suited for colder weather, Methexis, with its creamy and smooth structure, is versatile for all seasons and highly unisex.
In conclusion, Methexis is more than just a fragrance—it’s an olfactory journey that captures the richness of fig while balancing sweetness and freshness with remarkable skill. With its refined composition and standout gourmand profile, it’s no wonder that this scent has garnered acclaim in the fragrance world.
