Latte e Menta
Ariana & Evans
Founded in 2017 in Ansonia, Connecticut, Ariana & Evans is the passion project of fragrance auteur Peter Charkalis, its name blending his own and his daughters’ middle names. Guided by the Japanese principle of kaizen—continuous improvement—Charkalis brings an eclectic, globe-spanning sensibility to scents that are bold, sophisticated, and delightfully unconventional. Standouts such as Baklava, Plum & Bliss, Chasing the Dragon, and Khalifa showcase inspirations drawn from world cuisine and culture. In 2024 he introduced Maullu, a premium line co-created with acclaimed Italian barber Daniele Maullu, further elevating the brand’s commitment to top-tier ingredients and artistry.
Scent Description
Every so often a fragrance comes along that truly pushes boundaries, and Latte e Menta is one of them. Inspired by the classic Italian summertime refresher—sciroppo di menta (sweet peppermint syrup) poured over ice and finished with chilled milk—this scent marries the cool, triple-mint sweetness of spearmint, peppermint, and Thai mint with a sophisticated woody heart. Guaiac wood lends notes of tanned leather, dark honey, and pipe-tobacco earthiness; hinoki adds a peppery, cedar-fresh lift; and ambroxan contributes a sun-bleached, mineral driftwood warmth that anchors the composition. Blended with creamy milk facets, the result is a bouquet that is simultaneously sweet, airy, complex, and richly comforting. Playful yet refined, Latte e Menta is a standout addition to any collection and feels perfectly at home in nearly any setting.

Base Description
Legacy is Ariana & Evans’ flagship base, and its pedigree shows in the rich roster of skin-loving ingredients. Tallow provides the creamy, dense backbone that delivers exceptional cushion, while a suite of butters—kokum, shea, illipe, murumuru, and cupuaçu—adds deep, lasting moisturization. Glycerin, aloe, and castor oil boost hydration and glide, and both primary and residual slickness are further elevated by tussah silk fibers and silk amino acids. The result is a truly luxurious soap that pairs top-tier performance with enduring skin benefits. If the goal was to make a premium product which withstands the test of time, Legacy is exactly that.

Absolutely love the scent on this one. Creamy, minty, milky deliciousness.
Magnificent soap and splash. Top shelf packaging paired with World Class performance and a scent even my very picky wife loves. Peter & Thalia are brilliant perfumers and wonderful humans.
