Menthe verte

I've been hunting for a mint that doesn't smell like toothpaste, and this one actually pulls it off — it's crisp and green without that sharp candy edge. Wore it on a warm afternoon and kept catching it on my wrist for hours.

I was worried this would smell like toothpaste, but it's actually a soft, almost tea-like mint that dries down warm on my skin. Wore it to a dinner and two people asked what I had on.

The mint comes through sharp and green at first spray, almost like crushed leaves, then settles into something softer within twenty minutes. I just wish it lasted longer on my skin, maybe three hours before I need to reapply. Still, it's the most realistic spearmint I've tried.
