What do reviewers say about Menthe Fraiche and Menthe Moderne?
This is mint done the way mint should be, not toothpaste, not gum, not the synthetic stuff that floods the category. It's green and alive, slightly bitter in the best way.Menthe Fraiche
Anti-sweet. Anti-powdery. Menthe Moderne isn't here to smell like you're wearing a fragrance. It's here to smell like mint, just mint, held at the right angle. Clean, yes. But sharp. Urban.Menthe Moderne
