Mint, not just for the summer
From the name, I initially assumed it was a pure mint fragrance. After I was sent a sample of Menta y Menta by a dear perfumer, I quickly realized that there are other fragrance notes that support the mint in terms of longevity and make the perfume appear very natural. I have since become an enthusiastic fan of mint in fragrances. This fragrance is not entirely innocent of this.
When you spray it on, it starts off alcoholic and the mint is there very quickly. It smells very natural, like freshly brewed tea. But not from the bag, but fresh from the garden. I notice a little lemon throughout the whole process. After an hour, the jasmine joins in according to my perception, which significantly prolongs the shelf life of the actually volatile mint. Unfortunately, I don't get the coffee note. Would certainly have been interesting. As already mentioned here in the previous reviews, I also find Menta y Menta very invigorating and refreshing. It also lasts quite a while on me. Around 5-6 hours in fact. The mint stays for 3-4 hours and then the scent really changes. I think it's the jasmine that comes through here in a very beautiful and unobtrusive way. There is also a slight sweetness. The fragrance can be worn all year round. Whenever you want to be refreshed.
I use it particularly often in summer. When it's really hot, I like to layer the fragrance with Herba Fresca from Aqua Allegoria. Then the mint becomes even more intense and the effect of the rather short-lived but powerful AA is considerably stretched. This also goes down very well with people in the immediate vicinity.

Delicate, a little pale and yet interesting.
As I am more of a friend of delicate and/or fresh fragrances, the bottle of Tender White immediately appealed to me. It is reminiscent of an ice cube and seems as if the fragrance would help to cool you down in summer....
