What does Virgin Mint smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it sits most easily in daily wear, leisure and the office, less so in the evening. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine.

Mandarin orange and bergamot open it with citrus freshness. Geranium and vetiver in the heart add a green, lightly spicy, woody side. In the base, spearmint and white musk come forward, and it settles into a soft, sweet freshness.
