I cannot imagine doing a mint note any better than the one in this Heeley. It's neither toothpasty or overly leafy/herbal (e.g Roadster). I reach for this all the time, though I tend to wear it...
Sel Marin - a realistic of an interpretation of the ocean; and by that I mean, all the positive traits. There is a strong citrus note, salty ocean water, and even a green seaweed/algae type...
OK... I scarcely smell any of the notes this stuff is supposed to contain, just vanilla/tonka bean.
If Le Male were reformulated to appeal to the nursing home demographic I imagine it'd come out...
Bois Blond by Parfumerie Generale (first time from a sample)
Not bad. Nice sharp, resinous woods, with that whiff of turpentine that I like. But this stuff is very subtle, and I applied almost 1/2 a ml and sprayed it on rather than dabbing it. I like it but I didn't expect it to be this quiet.
