A plea for Eau de Minthé
I can share much of what you read here about Eau de Minthé. But I draw somewhat differently accentuated conclusions from it.
Yes, a fougère through and through.
Yes, fougère, but not stale at that.
Yes, fresh and spicy it is.
Yes, the mint plays a much smaller role than the name might suggest.
So far, so good. On those four points, most who have commented here on Eau de Minthé seem pretty much in agreement. But many don't think it's anything special.
Yes, I do think it is. The combination of old-fashioned fougère and fresh, minty spiciness makes it special. The fact that an old-fashioned theme is interpreted in a modern way without falling into overly synthetic excesses is something special today (unfortunately). And for me, the longevity and sillage are also special, namely very decent. This is rather unusual in a Freshie, at least if too much Ambroxan or ISO-E-Super is dispensed with.
Eau de Minthé comes extremely well received, he generates many compliments (one röche indeed particularly), he is universally applicable and he offers his qualities at a still decent price.
In this respect, I plead for more distribution and more approval and condemn all whiners to four weeks Gualtieri- Dauerbedampfung!
