The coldest refreshment since A*Men
My collection of the Thierry Mugler A*Men series now consists of five versions, all of which carry a touch of the original A*Men flacon in their base. But Kryptomint is the only perfume in my collection that has a mint accord, so I can't compare it to other mint fragrances.
Our perception of mint is naturally associated with a refreshing, cooling sensation, especially in summer on hot days. It spices up and gives energy. Now, in Kryptomint we even talk about frozen mint, which means that in a way you can expect twice the freshness on your skin. This is exactly what happens, because frozen synthetic mint really feels like taking mint oil out of the fridge and spreading a few drops of it on the skin. This is immediately joined by an earthiness that makes the patchouli in the base. Although the very simple structure of Kryptomint lacks something like dark chocolate (and is not directly perceptible), I find the associations of the previous comments about After Eight chocolate absolutely plausible! This mint-patchouli combination makes Kryptomint a gourmand of a different kind. Not very sweet, like many other gourmands, but nevertheless I can't deny the After Eight character. And because the perfume is not too sweet and not at all warm, this really cool frozen cocktail is also perfect for the summer.
The linearity of the scent is easy for everyone to understand, every sniff on the skin brings a new feeling of freshness. It is definitely a perfume that should be worn casually during the day. The After-Eight-Touch makes it unique and stands out from the crowd. The Sillage is not violent like the original A*men, but pleasant. The shelf life is well extended by the patchouli, between 6-7 hours the fragrance is perceptible on the skin. From me there is a clear test and purchase recommendation. Even with a blind purchase I believe that you will not be disappointed.
