ResinousWhat does Mentha Religiosa smell like?
The top of bergamot, petitgrain and peppermint gives a cool, green start. In the heart, frankincense, iris and heliotrope add a powdery, resinous softness; at the base, cedarwood, white musk and patchouli leave an earthy, slightly smoky, woody finish. Sweet and spicy touches stay in the background.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it suits leisure and daily wear best. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it doesn't lean clearly either way. Carthusia 1681 and Rania J. Lavande 44 have a close profile.
