Menthe Fraîche goes where few fine fragrance
have dared, extrapolating the various facets of peppermint oil to create a kind
of mint ‘soliflore’.
Opening on a mentholated note that envelops a fresh,
Hedione-citrus accord, the perfume quickly develops a strong green character
redolent of crushed leaves (so possibly including Stemone / Stearyl Acetate /
Cis-3-Hexenol) with an ozonic accent and a somewhat agrestic heart. The whole
is underscored by a refined cedar which, to my nose, carries the merest
suspicion of spice.
Longevity is on the weak side.
