Virgin Mint

Virgin Mint by Carolina Herrera is a beautifully crafted, unisex summer fragrance that delivers an exceptionally fresh and natural mint experience. Its opening features a bright, juicy citrus blend of bergamot and mandarin orange, paired with a crisp, herbaceous green note from geranium that adds an airy, slightly bitter edge. The central accord is a lush spearmint that feels alive and cool—closer to spearmint gum than icy synthetic mint, with a soft, sweet-green character that avoids harshness. Vetiver and white musk ground the composition, blending into a dry-down that is gently earthy and musky, creating a serene, skin-scent aura. The scent evolves gracefully over time, with the mint becoming more prominent, and the overall impression remains crisp, refreshing, and uplifting. It performs moderately well—projecting pleasantly at arm’s length initially and wearing close to the skin by the third or fourth hour, with longevity around 6 to 8 hours. The aesthetic presentation is memorable: a heavy, fluted green glass bottle with a magnetic cap and a fine mist atomizer that enhances the overall luxury feel.
