So refreshing...
and also more complex than I first thought. Miller et Bertaux do not seem to necessarily attach importance to a fragrance development, which I find in principle but not negative. And yet I perceive just in this fragrance a development, which I find extremely exciting and refined.
But from the beginning:
I bought this perfume only in the fall of this year, actually stupid - when it is so refreshing and intended for the summer. Now it is in these Corona times, yes, that you have to tackle most sporting activities in your own four walls, which is not easy for me at times. Since I own Menta y Menta, I spray myself with it as a motivator - and because I like the scent so much, it often works with the physical exercise afterwards. The fragrance is virtually my pre-reward.
The reviews here are very critical, which concerns the durability and the sillage, I can not confirm so for me in its entirety (maybe I just spray more ...). But I wouldn't want to wear a room-filling perfume in a fitness center or in summer during the day. And you can, as a previous speaker already suggested, just re-spray.
As for the scent: yes, you could associate it with chewing gum or toothpaste, but for me it rather conjures up images of my Moroccan vacation, where tea with fresh mint was offered everywhere and always. Maybe I don't think of toothpaste either, because I hardly notice any sharpness, not even at the beginning. Possibly I'm a bit jaded there because I love spiciness and never go out of my way. I don't detect lemon at all. Coffee I can sniff very briefly, but the bitterness doesn't last long for me. To me, Menta y Menta smells like an aromatic infusion that gets creamier with time. The scent remains minimalist and uncomplicated, but as the minty notes fade, a scent that I don't even know how to describe emerges after hours. If I didn't know better, I'd even say a hint of musk works its way through the soft transparent mint notes. You do indeed have to get close to your wrist after hours to still detect the notes, but it's fun to sniff it again and again. So far, the fragrance is also not "over" to me, which I often experience with many fragrances.
For me, Menta y Menta is an energetic, successful composition, in which I am already looking forward to the next summer, to also be allowed to delight my environment with one or two extra sprays.
