Dracul

Black musk, tobacco, fir, balsam of peru, cumin, bitter clove, crushed mint, and orange blossom.

It really does start out smelling like an Andes mint. As it dries, it seems like a furry, woodsy mint. It never has much throw, but it lasts for awhile. I really do like the way the mint sticks around the entire time. I expected it to fade away or get drowned out by the other notes. This is a really unique way to wear mint. I haven't cared for any other mint scents, particularly, but this one has an interesting and lingering softness that makes it appealing.

Also, even though I keep talking about soft mint, this is fairly masculine. The woods and musk definitely show up. The imp is a keeper, but I don't think I'll get a bottle.

3.5/5
