Minteva (2004)
by Body Shop

A really great scent. Definitely a summer scent. And i dnt think its a women only scent. The freshness is unisex. Try applying after showering. U'll feel fresh all day!

This one is lovely and unusual, very very fresh, but I don't smell like an herb garden either. Very worth the price. Not too long lasting, but you can always reapply....

Minteva is one of the closest matches I've ever smelled to one of my ultimate favorite fragrances of all time, L'Eau de L'Artisan. Mint, basil, lemon - both have them, and both smell astonishingly fresh and alive. Minteva replaces the fresh cut grass in L'Eau with some green-smelling florals - peony and not-too-ripe white lily - as well as a touch of spice, but the botanical feeling is just as exhilerating in this as it is in the L'Artisan. I love these kinds of fragrances and have room in my heart for both brands' renditions - though the pricing on the Body Shop version makes it an awfully tempting permanent alternative! Minteva's lasting power is so-so, not as good as it is with the L'Eau de L'Artisan - which itself is not the most pronounced, long-lasting fragrance in the world. We're definitely talking summer scents here, light and breezy and very natural. So buy and apply accordingly!
