Peppermint bubblegum

This fragrance was created by Jacques Cavallier and Alberto Morillas. Although we only see Cavallier credited, Morillas worked with him.

This Is a fragrance that had some success sonce its being around for +20 years. Its not something that was common at the time, and it was probably received as a weird new thing.

It opens with a strong fresh and sweet concoction with coriander, a lot of peppermint and salty-sweet amber. As it dries down, the coriander dissipates, the mint became less fresh and the "ambergris" became more on front. There's some mossy-ness that contributes to the overall fresh greenness of the fragrance but its not something very natural, as expected.

This Is a very unique scent if we compare to the new stuff that came out and even with stuff that came at the time. When this was launched, we had Boss Bottled, Givenchy Pi, CH 212, Au Masculin and Le Mâle, as sweet fragrances. Nothing is similar to this one. This might be more Juvenile than the previous ones, but its fun to wear. Its appealing, sweet but still fresh, and definitely masculine. It kinda gives this peppermint bubblegum vibe to it.

This Is being discontinued and that's why i bought it cause, despite not being a super fan of it, its kinda fun for gym and its discontinued. Also, it hás a great price now. I pay around 30€ for the 100ml. The bottle is unique, a bit tacky, but still nice to have in the collection.

Projection and longevity arent great but not bad either. Kinda médium projection in the first hours and then it stays for 5-6h on skin.

A fun and young scent for the millennials out there to revive their teen ages (like myself)

3/5
