Pure Premium Mojito

The luxurious Atkinsons perfume brand is well known. James Atkinson opened his soap and perfume shop in 1799 in London. He became the personal perfumer of the royal family in 1826.

Mint & Tonic is a luxurious, sophisticated, soft, cool, aristocratic, very high-quality, and very pure fragrance.

The fragrance captivates the senses, making it ideal for daily morning use in the summer. One of the luxurious niche perfumes and the undisputed king of summer.

The fragrance opens with a very soft opening, a mixture of soft and cool mint mixed with lime and a touch of grapefruit. The pure aromatic scents of light ginger and royal geranium gradually settle on a woody, musky base.

The dominant scent of the fragrance is lime and mint, exactly as if you are drinking a cold mojito made from the finest ingredients on the beach on a hot summer morning.

The packaging is dominated by a royal character, one of the best I have seen in the world of niche perfumes. The perfume bottle is very luxurious, with a luxurious metal cap that indicates the antiquity of the luxurious Atkinsons perfume house.

Performance is not the best, in fact below average, lasting for several hours but close to the skin.

The fragrance retails for $190 for a 100 ml bottle on the official Atkinsons luxury fragrance website.

Conclusion:
- If you are looking for performance, this fragrance is not for you.
- If you are looking for purity and quality, this fragrance is for you.

Expectation vs. reality

Mint and citrus notes, plus ginger and rose geranium - that reads like the ultimate fresh scent! Even the name "Mint & Tonic" promises cool and bitter nuances, as in many a summer cocktail. Everything to my taste, I thought to myself and waited anxiously for the bottle I had ordered for a sharing. This - well-shaped, made of solid glass and fitted with a metal cap - arrived in a simple and pretty packaging. The first impression counts and Atkinsons knows how to please (optically and haptically)
The first sprayer, on the other hand, was somewhat sobering. Fresh, citrusy and green, Mint & Tonic does indeed have a cooling effect, but less than expected. The realistic bitterness that grapefruit and lime bring along with their sour characteristics is pleasing, but unfortunately the mint goes a bit under so that I would rather speak of a diffuse green note. I can't see much development at first, because apart from the very easily perceptible rose geranium, which fits into the bright, friendly picture, there is no trace of ginger with its genuine pungency. After three or four hours, when I first wore it, I thought that the fragrance would gradually fade away. But finally a warm, spicy and woody base comes out, which in my opinion projects a little more strongly again.

However, this is still too euphemistically formulated, because Mint & Tonic seems to me to be extremely discreet. An often used euphemism in this context is the term 'office scent', which usually means that it doesn't offend, but is usually only worn at work. And so I see Mint & Tonic as a nice scent that you can wear with a clear conscience, but that disappears from your memory just as quickly. In this genre - citric, green, fresh, dry-spicy - I consider XerJoff's Nio to be a much better alternative, although its price is not necessarily justified. Although I really like mint in the flesh, finding the right perfume remains a difficult matter, and I prefer to have tonic in an alcoholic cold drink. Cheers!

Regin grinder

A mythological figure whose image has been decisively influenced by a single representation - and this is not necessarily only advantageous - is that of the Valkyrie. Thanks to Richard Wagner's interpretation - and especially thanks to his famous Valkyrie ride (unforgotten in Francis Ford Coppola's anti-war film 'Apocalypse Now', in which the napalm bombing of Vietnam with helicopters is 'accompanied' by this Valkyrie ride) - the Valkyrie is occupied as mighty, booming and terrifying. One thinks of giant, blond, braided women with horn-reinforced helmets and iron braces, who listen to such lyrical names as Helmwige or Schwertleite. If I should add a scent to this Wagnerian Valkyrie, it would have to be a squadron like Black Afgano, Youth Dew or Alien, persevering and brute like a war galley.

In fact, in Nordic mythology, the Valkyries were female spirits in Odin's entourage who chose the bravest and most honourable of the fallen warriors - called 'Einherjer' - from the battlefield, picked them up and led them to Walhall. The Vikings believed that northern lights must be the reflection of the moon on the armour of the shield young riding through Midgard. These Valkyries were ethereal and cool creatures in pale or bluish robes and rode on white war horses. They were often depicted with winged helmets - and not with horned ones, as Wagner did. Such a ghostly apparition is accompanied by a scent that is as spherical and cool as it is - but not fresh or even cheerful - this Valkyrie fits someone like Atkinsons' Mint & Tonic.

Remarkable - although not intrusive - is already the top note. Only a few cool top notes manage to get by without a pointed citric component (no matter what grapefruit, lime and mandarin may say - they're all there, but they don't shape the fragrance) and at the same time not be metallic. Mint & Tonic is reserved and balanced right from the start - those who expected a party-suited cocktail or long drink scent might find this disappointing. I also perceive a - dimmed - medicine-like chord (the fine pungency of ginger) - also of medium strength at most - and finally a diffuse and yet comforting warmth - like the warm breath of the Walküre with its wings, as she gently lifts the Einherjer from the battlefield and carries it on the back of her white horse to Walhall.

Conclusion: one of the Valkyries mentioned in the Lieder-Edda Grímnismál is Reginleifr. The Pre-Raphaelite Edward Robert Hughes painted it ethereally beautiful in his 'Night's Watch of the Valkyrie', sitting on a wall holding the wing helmet in her arms - and smelling very fine and quietly of Atkinsons' Mint & Tonic.

Torn...

I take in advance, that I had high expectations of the fragrance and I'm ambivalent from the test go out, after I had a sample.

For me, this is absolutely no unisex, but a pure herrenduft.
If I classify it as a pure men's fragrance, I find it top.
As a unisex fragrance is mint&tonic in my eyes absolute flop.

To the smell:
It is a very vibrant and invigorating fragrance, that much is said, which smells in the first moment directly after spraying, however, after aftershave and therefore absolutely masculine.....

When the first alcohol has evaporated, fortunately the notes of lime, mint and citrus notes and tangerine come through, but do not completely displace the first impression of the aftershave.

The problem: my nose, which clearly perceives aftershave, gets the images from the head - namely a glass of refreshing tonic water with mint leaf not quite together with the aftershave.

My expectations of "mint and tonic" was actually, that I get here a nice unisex fragrance that smells like a popular long drink a la gin & tonic or a mojito, which sprays lightness and fun and sun and beach and which is completely gender-neutral from the scent.

I was also hoping for a slightly more exciting aroma table.

The fragrance starts and remains rather masculine, which is why he is out for me personally, although the aftershave note disappears over time more and more, which makes the fragrance for women grds portable, if you bring a little patience and it likes to like herber.
I have yes also quite herber fragrances in the assortment, the yulong of Armani privee, but the is really unisex for me and you get what it says: tea.

Mint&tonic delivers indeed mint, but just not so, as I hoped.
suitable for the really warm summer days,because the scent is very invigorating and refreshes.

On a modern man I can imagine the fragrance quite right, the fragrance is not intrusive, but delicate, elegant, pulsating, attractive, interesting and somehow mysterious. Would I smell the fragrance on a man, I would say he has done everything right.

But on me as a woman, but that is really disappointing.that fits zero.I really have the feeling, I would have me in the parfümregal vergriffen.

From the durability I was but already disappointed.after 4 hours I smell already nothing more.

For a fragrance in this price segment, this is a very weak performance which in turn does not justify this price.

For friends of long drinks, it can still be worthwhile to sniff times, but I strongly advise against a blind purchase

The last mint in the bottle

I like mint, unfortunately I can hardly find any at the moment, since Green Water is no longer available. That's why I was pleased to announce the new Atkinson Mint & Tonic. I like the beautiful glass bottle with the heavy, silvery cap, like all bottles of the Contemporary Collection. The first scent impression brings the expected summer freshness, with mint and citrus, to the nose. Mint yes, not sweet, not floral, no tonic, very subtle and light, this first chord changes into a woody spiciness (unfortunately without the described ginger), which slowly fades into a somehow metallic musky base
