What do reviewers say about Menthe Fraiche and Dirty?
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
Mint doesn't do subtle. It walks in and stays. That's not a flaw. That's why people who love Dirty reach for it again. Some fragrances evolve away from themselves. This one doubles down.Dirty
