Smells like an 80's cologne

I really wanted to love this one, but to me it smells like a drug store cologne from 40 years ago. It's what I always imagined what Stetson or Halston must have smelled like, especially for the first couple minutes. Once the dry down starts, it does smell better, but it still has that old-man cologne backdrop that I just can't get past. The mint barely peaks his head out. Sadly, this is a no for me. Off to try Orpheon next

Irish Spring

This smells identical to Irish Spring soap. It took me a few hours to figure out what minty-fresh scent of my memories this was evoking, but now I think I've cracked the code. Perhaps it leans a little closer to those soft peppermint candies. It maybe has a creamy smoothness that differentiates it from Irish Spring proper. After about 20min, it starts to trend toward Lush's Dirty. It is lovely and nostalgic, but the price point for essentially an Irish Spring dupe is crazy.

A pleasant and refreshing surprise

Sorry because I can't write a proper review though to I only have tried it on a sample paper at a Diptyque boutique (I havent more free skin to try lol), but I have to say that as someone that doesnt like fougeres and that I doesnt like the geranium note, I really like the opening on this one! Most of diptyque fragrances need time to develope but this one has one of the best openings from the whole boutique!

A gem victimized by its release date

Contrary to popular opinion, I think Diptyque Eau de Minthe is good. Really good. Off the top, you get just a bit of minty freshness that makes this an absolute awesome warmer weather fragrance. It then goes into such a classy and timeless barbershop fougere that is appropriate for literally any occasion. It can be dressed up or down and will still right at home. To me this is not a grandpa fragrance, it’s a mature, well put together, masculine gentleman’s fragrance.

I do get the comparisons to Drakkar Noir. They are both fougeres after all. But Drakkar tends to wear A LOT heavier and can be a bit much for hot weather. It’s also much screechier and loud. Eau de Minthe is present but polite and a lot smoother of a formulation. You can tell the ingredients used are not bargain bin quality like you get with a lot of the reformulated and neutered 80’s powerhouse fougeres.

With current masculine fragrance trends over the past 10 or so years, it’s no wonder that Eau de Minthe was not that well received. Most masculine marketed fragrances have gone the way of sugary sweet with heavy vanilla and tonka bean bases. But for those of us that want to smell like a fresh straight razor shave and bald fade, this one hits the spot hard.

From sharp mint to a dull fougère

Eau de Minthé is at its best during its sparkling and airy mint opening; it's not too sweet or reminiscent of toothpaste, but gives the sensation of fresh spearmint, ready to be muddled with sugar and soda water in a cocktail tumbler.

The fougère structure is immediately legible, with mint standing in for the lavender, and spicy-fresh geranium and patchouli peeping out from behind. I can see why Eau de Minthé has garnered comparisons to Drakkar Noir Eau de Toilette; it has that calssic clean barbershop vibe, but smoothed out until there are no more sharp or overpowering edges.

Unfortunately, the bracing mint note fades all too quickly, leaving mostly rose, geranium and patchouli in the dry down. It's pleasant, but leans quite masculine and lacks personality.

Like L'Eau Papier Eau de Toilette four years later, Eau de Minthé is a rare miss from Diptyque's main line.
