Chewed-out Chewing Gum
It was in 2012 that I first became aware of "Mint Woman" by Toni Gard. I liked that scent, nothing exceptional, but not a bad scent either. We can hope. A male counterpart, and maybe not a bad scent. Well, sometimes hopes are sadly let down.
Soon after Easter, testers were made available and I gave "Mint Man" a try. The bottle is a simple glass square with a sturdy base, has a solid silver top and is filled with a greenish/silvery shimmering liquid. Add to this a poster-type blue print of the word "MINT". The carton is equally kept simple and clean. I like that already quite well, not very resourceful, but straightforward.
The sniffing part, I am sorry to say, turned out to be a short-lived pleasure. At the beginning, no doubt, there is a subtle mint note. Not spearmint gum, not toothpaste, not catnip and certainly not the type of aromatic peppermint tea from Maghrib. At the same time, some fruity sweetness joins in, I can make out tangerine and peach. Then there is a floral note like lily-of-the-valley, but a bit artificial. Spicy and oriental notes round out the fragrance at the base. Helas, I cannot point out any specific components, not that I did not try.
The fragrance offers neither highs nor lows, nor are there any surprises. The mint is just plain boring and begins to fade after one hour. Those fruity notes combined with fresh flowery notes have also been sniffed by me many times before, and mostly artificial just as often. The basenotes are unremarkable and difficult to identify, I don't even venture to name patchouli or sandalwood. Pity, the whole thing is flat. Sillage is rather weak and longevity is average with barely four hours. A poor testimony to "mint" when I can barely smell that particular note after one hour.
A run-of-the-mill fragrance, uninteresting like a piece of chewed-out chewing gum. At least it does not stick to the sole of my shoe forever.
