Mint is having a moment. While it may not be the first note we turn to when picking out a new scent, the dash of refreshment it adds to fragrances has caused a re-shuffle in our preferences.
The cooling green accord is decidedly subtle and gives fragrances a little hint of spice and a natural lift, distracting from the sweetness of florals and adding a slightly masculine edge to otherwise overtly feminine compositions.
Here are a few scents you can smell it in...
