MY THOUGHTS
Carolina Herrera Virgin Mint is on my top 5 minty fragrances list. It has been there ever since its initial release in late 2017. I remember my friend shipping it to me from Paris because the CH website did not post to Netherlands, only to Germany at a time.
Virgin Mint is very tricky composition ans it is mainly a vetiver fragrance. I get loads of geranium and vetiver in it which masterfully mask the fact that the actual mint is present only in the first 30-40 minutes on the skin. Yet fragrance itself maintains the minty aura right till the end of the drydown.

Yet fragrance itself maintains the minty aura right till the end of the drydown. Carolina Herrera Virgin Mint is neither toothpasty, nor mentholated fragrance. To my nose it is unique and uplifting, with masculine leaning tendency. But regardless of that I am a sworn fan of it and I’m on the second bottle of it at this point.
As per longevity, it is outstanding, The scent lingers on my skin for solid 8 hours and full day on clothes. Considering this is a EDT we are talking about, it’s beyond stellar.
AVAILABILITY
