Minty Man Dame
by Dame Perfumery
Minty Man Dame is a bold, unapologetic mint fragrance with a natural, herbal character. It opens with a vibrant, green mint that feels both fresh and vegetal—more leaf than synthetic—enhanced by bergamot and a soft cardamom-mate base that adds depth without overwhelming the mint. The scent evolves into a delicate, tea-like harmony; floral notes like rose and jasmine appear only as whispers in the drydown, while the spicy cardamom and mate ensure a persistent, clean trail. Longevity stands out, with moderate to long-lasting performance that lingers through the day, making it ideal for warm weather and daytime wear. The fragrance feels unisex, with strong natural balance that avoids the gourmand or synthetic tones common in mint scents.
