Sugared Mint

Aaaaaah.......

(I should point out that I'm a fan of the sugared blends)

 

This one is very airy and fresh smelling......it's not peppermint though, it's like you've soaked some fresh crushed mint leaves in sugar water, and then put it in the fridge 'till it's nice and cold and catch a whiff of that.

It's gorgeous and I especially like to put it on before one of my groupfitness classes.....keeps me sharp and feeling fresh!

Sugared Mint

 

In bottle: mintier than Sugared Vanilla Mint. This is also a more herbal, greener mint.

On skin: oh, I like this one a lot. It makes my skin tingle! It's sweetened mint, this is a herbal mint, but despite having basil and dill, this doesn't smell savoury or like pesto or something like that. It smells more like a bunch of wet garden herbs on ice, with mint being dominant. I like that-it smells summery but cooling. It also reminds me of mint cordial, that combination of mint, sugar and a wonderfully watery coolness. Totally different from the other sugary mints I've tried, this isn't like mint sweets, gum or toothpaste, this is more natural and smells icy, there's something nice and snowy about this scent. But this doesn't seem a winter scent to me either-this seems more like an antidote to summer heat, it smells so fresh and wet and cold, with the perfect amount of sweetness. The scent does fade a little quickly but smells fresh and herbal, like the scent of cool summer night air full of the perfume of herbs. Surprisingly, the mint note lasts a long time in this scent-quite a feat for mint! It also smells clean as it dries-not soapy though. I'm so glad I got a big bottle of this-I'm also surprised as I thought I'd prefer Vanilla Mint, but I prefer this one.

Cool, icy and beautiful. It is very comforting and uplifting at the same time. Peppermint is known to assist with recall and concentration, so this would be a good one to wear to exams. It is also very relaxing to me and will be a perfect evening scent when I am relaxing with a good book. This smells identical to sweetened iced mint tea (herbal).

This is one of my favorites and I'm finally getting a bottle. Whiskers whispers,fantastic review lol. Sugared vanilla mint was ok but didn't really work for me. I love mints anyway and this really satisfied my love of mint.

I agree with the other posts, this is cool, herbal mint (and not so much peppermint) with just a hint of sweetness. Have to try out it's peppyness qualities a bit later - i have a peppermint all natural body wash and i can see these working well together

Nope, no peppermint or spearmint here, just fresh and cool herbs, with a touch of sweetness and...olive oil? Maybe I just need to shake up my vial! Lovely, lovely, and if you want to wear mint, I believe this is your ticket.

There's no fruit in it. What it reminds me of is a slightly sweeter version of B&BW's Garden Mint fragrance (as used in their hand soap and antibacterial gel).

Not at all like anti-piggy. Anti-piggy smells like a green apple with a hint of mint. Sugared Mint smells like fresh mint tea that has just been brewed, slightly green and cool. It strikes me as a blend of mints.

 

I love this one. It is my favorite bedtime or soothing scent. I have four bottles.
