Pont des Arts Next Tee Eau de Cologne
Pont des Arts Next Tee Eau de Cologne is a unisex fragrance released in 2019 for those who love fresh citrus compositions with a distinctive character.
This eau de cologne combines the lightness of the classic format with an energetic fougere structure and a noticeable sillage.
The fragrance was released by the French niche house Pont des Arts, founded in 2017 and blending luxury, sport and art in its aesthetic.
Next Tee is built around the contrast between a bright opening, a spicy-aromatic heart and a dry woody-musky base.
The composition comes across as polished, dynamic and contemporary: it avoids excessive sweetness and retains a clean, cool character.
Thanks to its versatile gender positioning, the fragrance develops equally naturally on women's and men's skin.
The Fragrance's Character and Development
The top notes immediately set an invigorating rhythm: bergamot, citron, grapefruit and green mandarin create a sparkling citrus accord.
Pink pepper adds a light, dry spiciness and makes the opening more expressive.
As the fragrance develops, the freshness becomes fuller, while a cool aromatic nuance emerges in the composition.
The heart of Next Tee Eau de Cologne unfolds with cardamom, clary sage, juniper berries and lavender.
Here, citrus transparency meets fougere-like herbaceousness and delicate spice, so the fragrance smells not merely fresh but also textured and distinctive.
In the drydown, mate, vetiver, Virginia cedar and musk form a dry, clean and confident accord with a gentle woody depth.
Notes and Olfactory Family
The perfume pyramid prominently features bergamot, cardamom, grapefruit, green mandarin, lavender, vetiver and cedar.
The full list of notes also includes citron, clary sage, juniper berries, mate, musk and pink pepper.
By classification, the fragrance belongs to the citrus and fougere families, complemented by aromatic, green, spicy, woody, fruity and musky nuances.
The perfumer is Bertrand Duchaufour, known for his attention to multilayered combinations and his expressive work with woody and aromatic accords.
In Next Tee, his signature emerges in the smooth transition from juicy citrus freshness to a dry, elegant and subtly green scent.
Longevity, Sillage and Wearability
Despite its eau de cologne concentration, Next Tee has a very strong sillage, making it noticeable in the air and well suited to those who appreciate a pronounced presence.
On skin, it can be especially impressive in warm weather, when the citrus and green notes unfold more brightly while the woody base keeps the composition composed.
There is no information about the recommended number of sprays on skin or clothing, so it is best to adjust the dosage gradually, guided by the intensity of the fragrance's development on your skin.
The fragrance is suitable for everyday urban settings, walks, travel and situations when you want a fresh yet unconventional scent.
Its sporty-elegant character fits easily into a daytime look, while the noticeable base also makes the composition suitable for evening wear.
If you enjoy classic citrus-fougere fragrances, you may wish to compare it with Azzaro Azzaro Pour Homme, Dior Eau Sauvage and Acqua di Parma Colonia Futura.
