What do reviewers say about Menthe Fraiche and Minted?
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
This one does not announce itself. Moderate sillage means it is for you, not the room. The mint recedes over time, and the green jasmine drydown is worth staying for.Minted
