Mad et Len 174 Hz — the fragrant mist of Rawtherapy
Mad et Len 174 Hz is a unisex fragrance from 2025, created for those who appreciate concise yet expressive compositions.
This fragrant mist is part of the Rawtherapy collection by Mad et Len, a brand known for its artisanal approach and attention to the atmosphere of every release.
The character of 174 Hz combines citrusy, green, and woody-aromatic facets.
The composition feels fresh, cool, and composed, while its unisex positioning makes it equally fitting for both women’s and men’s wardrobes.
The character and development of the composition
The fragrance is built around lemon, sage, and tea tree, also known as melaleuca.
Lemon provides a clean, energetic impulse; sage adds a dry, herbal depth, while tea tree enhances the impression of freshness and natural clarity.
The database does not separate distinct top, middle, and base notes, so 174 Hz is best understood as a cohesive aromatic accord.
It unfolds not through a complex, multilayered pyramid but through a gradual transition from bright citrus freshness to a green, slightly resinous, woody nuance.
Longevity, sillage, and wearability
According to the product listing, Mad et Len 174 Hz has very strong sillage.
For a fragrant mist, this makes the composition a noticeable accessory: it can quickly create a distinctive, cool cloud around the wearer.
The fragrance feels especially natural in daytime urban settings, during a walk, while travelling, or in a minimalist office environment.
Thanks to its citrus-green character, it may feel most natural in warm weather. However, its final development depends on the skin, the weather, and individual sensitivity to tea tree and sage.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided for this release.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and intensify the scent if needed, especially when applying it to fabric.
The perfumer and the fragrance’s place in the brand’s aesthetic
The composition was created by Pierre Dinand.
His work on 174 Hz highlights Mad et Len’s desire to create not merely a pleasant scent, but an expressive olfactory impression built on the contrast between clean citrus, herbs, and natural woods.
The 2025 release continues the Rawtherapy aesthetic: there is no attempt at excessive sweetness or decorative florals.
Instead, the fragrance offers a fresh, composed, and slightly meditative image that easily adapts to different styles and moods.
Similar fragrances
Those who enjoy fresh woody-citrusy compositions should take a look at Eisenberg Eau Fraiche.
For comparison, you could also consider Tom Ford Grey Vetiver Eau de Toilette and Givenchy Gentlemen Only Fraiche, but Mad et Len 174 Hz stands out with its more natural, herbal, tea-like, and woody mood.
