Mint
Mynte
Myntens forfriskende, friske og sødligt krydrede karakter giver parfumen energi med et sundt, ganerensende bid. Dens snekolde kant skærper sødere citrusnoter og udgør en fremragende kontrast til varme krydderier som kardemomme, peber og koriander. Mynte minder om lavendelens friske, betagende rene duft, men forbliver meget kølig og er ikke helt så sæbeagtig eller urteagtig, som lavendel kan være. Dens skarpe, grønne, mentolagtige energi er en perfekt accent til vinterens kulde og tilbyder en sød lettelse fra tunge, fugtige somre.
Græsagtig, energifyldt, grøn, blød og forfriskende.
