Mint takes center stage

At first impression, the mint quickly hits the nose, and I expected a nose-clearing effect like after a Fisherman's Friend in the mouth. The mint is very dominant and takes about five minutes to settle down to a pleasant level.

Eventually, it blends with other green notes to create a very pleasant and fresh scent. It is difficult to identify specific notes besides mint, and the cucumber is not very noticeable. But how strong does a cucumber smell? Not as strong as mint, and that is also the case in this fragrance. The result is a balanced mint with green undertones.

After 2-3 hours, only a light note remains, and you can spray again

An impressive, fresh fragrance with improving mint and a green framework.

Between mint and apple blossom

The morning was still young, the sun only a narrow strip of light behind the hills. Mist lay like a fine veil over the paths of the garden, between the bamboo and cherry trees, their leaves still glistening with dew. I stepped through the small wooden gate and immediately sensed the peace that pervaded the place. A spritz of Kobe Gardens on my wrist and the world changed.

First the mint rose up fresh, clear, almost sharp, like a breath of pure mountain air. It made me pause, made me hear the rhythm of my own pulse. Then came the green apple: juicy, lively, a delicate fruity accent that played around the cool herbal note. Together they created a dance of freshness and vibrancy, as if the garden itself was telling me a story.

I continued to wander along the gravel-covered path, observing the reflections of the clouds in the still pond and the gentle swaying of the koi fish. From the depths of the scent rose floral accents of white flowers that gently filled the air, accompanied by delicate woody notes that gave warmth and consistency. It was not a loud fragrance, not a loud statement. Kobe Gardens was subtle, intimate, like a secret place that only I was allowed to enter.

Time lost its meaning. Every step was accompanied by scent, every breath a small miracle. I could smell the damp earth, feel the wood of the old bridge under my fingers, feel the breeze on my skin. Everything merged into a single moment of clarity and beauty.

When I finally closed the gate behind me, I took the memory of the garden with me. Kobe Gardens was more than a fragrance, it was a walk through silence, a moment of connection with nature, a reminder of how precious the small, undisturbed moments are. And even hours later, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I could still smell it, a quiet, calming echo that took me back to this magical garden.

Sour makes funny

It's summer, 27 degrees of sunshine.
I'm freshly showered from the gym.

On the walk home, I spray on the fragrance.
3x neck - *pschk, pschk, pschk*

There's a chance that I won't like the apple note, but before
i continue my inner thoughts, I start to grin.

Ha!

HEADNOTE:
Apple and mint? Green apple? Sour - you're sour and minty.
The brainstorming starts, so many associations pop into my head.

That smells like some kind of chewing gum, green Hubba Bubba?
Center Shock green, Tymbark apple mint, apple rings.

You got it, it's really all going in that direction.
And I am very pleased with the only sour green apple I have ever smelled in perfumes. A truly interesting discovery for me.

---
HEARTNOTE:
The mint is still present, but becomes quieter.
The apple holds its ground and now the freshly sliced cucumber joins in.
Aquatic, practical, good.

What a relief on a hot summer's day, and hey, do any of you know the cucumber lemonade?
Oh yes, it's not quite mine, but it fits well here.

I don't have the scent pyramid in my head, and now I see the melon note too.
Let's be honest, watermelon is normally combined with sweetness and usually smells extremely synthetic.
Here, the melon seems to operate in the background and is by no means intrusive.

The fragrance REMAINS linear and decreases in intensity over time.

A delightful experience.
The original Kobe Gardens sample was tested.

Mint escalation

I think Kobe Gardens is the strongest mint fragrance I know. Here you really get a huge load of mint.
The mint is cooling, almost menthol-like and ethereal.

The fragrance opens directly with this strong mint. It always gives me associations with a strong chewing gum that pops through your nose when you buy it. I can certainly understand some of the connections to toothpaste.
There are these slightly spicy toothpastes with a certain mint flavor and that's exactly what fits here quite well. Although I get the mint chewing gum associations more.

In my opinion, the fragrance works all year round, but it stands out even more in summer and that's where it fits best in my opinion.

It also has that certain maritime quality. However, I find the fragrance to be quite linear. The mint dominates this fragrance from start to finish. It only becomes a little tamer over time and doesn't quite blow everything away. Towards the end, it still dries down "greenish" and lands on oakmoss.

The Torino 21 is classified as similar here. But I can only understand this to a limited extent.
The fragrances are very different. Although Torino 21 also has mint, it is much milder and simply has a different effect due to the other notes.
The approach is similar, but the mint in Kobe Gardens is much sharper, stronger and cooler.

The performance is quite alright. It lasts quite well for a summer fragrance.
With this aggressive mint, however, you just have the feeling that it really lasts longer.

If you are looking for a strong mint fragrance per excellence, this is the one for you.

The perfect way to cool off in summer ?

If it's really hot outside and you want to cool down perfectly, then this fragrance is just right for you. If you put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes before spraying it on, you get the full load of this really unique mint. It has something sweet and goes more in the direction of Moroccan mint than the classically known to us but still a must buy for every fan of mint. The cooling aura that surrounds you almost freezes your skin, but it makes you feel great in high temperatures!
