What does Fresh Mint Leaf smell like?
It wears close to the skin: longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays quiet around others. Voters place it evenly in daily wear, leisure and business settings, and some pick it for sport. On character, most call it feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine.
It opens with the cool lift of bergamot, mint and basil. In the heart, rhubarb and water jasmine tilt it floral and aquatic, while musk, maté tea and cedar form a lightly woody base. The overall impression is citrusy, fruity and faintly sweet, with a thin thread of spice.
