   |  I tried this just yesterday and I'll be short and to the point.This may not have the best longevity but I was astounded at how true to real mint this fragrance is. Get some mint leaves, crush them up and rub them on your skin, thats what this is. If you like that kind of mint, you'll love this, if not, you wont. 20 March 2009 |
   |  I smell something very watery, but it is a true mint smell. As if you ripped up some fresh mint into a bowl of cold filtered water. Not a candy mint by far. I didn't find it sharp in the least, but it's also not very strong on me. It reminds me of the smell of someone who just walked in from the snow.While I appreciated this as a novelty, I wouldn't buy it full-size. I am probably going to keep my sample though. It lasts barely 15 minutes on my skin, even when prepped with oil. Unfortunate, but interesting to try. 18 November 2008 |

| As other reviewers have noted, CdG Peppermint is definitely (and thankfully) NOT a "candy-cane" peppermint scent but rather the top note is the exact smell you get when you tear fresh mint leaves apart. I found that rather thrilling, from an olfactory point of view, but the middle and basenotes were just general green-ish notes that were pleasant but not particularly exciting. The sillage was ok- it lasted about 30-45 minutes on my skin. Although CdG Peppermint is not something I would personally want to wear, it would be a great scent for a candle (hint, hint!) Here are the notes, courtesy of Luckyscent: curly mint, peppermint, bay rose, white pepper, cardamom, amber, white musk. 21 July 2008 |
 | Hmm. This was not what I'd wanted it to be. I wanted it to be that peppermint that actually lasted... a scent that had a longer life than AA Herba Fresca and Mentafollia. It's nice, but for THIS price tag, mamma needs it to last a great deal longer. 23 October 2007 |
   |  Mint is certainly not my fav note, I just tried it because of my love for Rhubarb. Peppermint is pretty much as expected, a cool mint scent. It has a harsh note as well, something like crushed green leaves and stalks. Makes me think of fig scents, that green-milky thing going on. Only Peppermint is far mor ethereal, a shadowy minty whisper of a scent. Feels stale, despite the minty freshness, and without any sherbety sweetness whatsoever. Eating this as a sherbet would be like eating unsweetened toothpaste sherbet with fresh cut grass mixed in for extra flavour. Not. My. Cuppa.05 October 2006 |
  | abslolytely divine, its cold and green fresh; wild mint mm and very subtle rose. Pity itd doesn´t last long enough :( 21 September 2006 |
