A*Men Kryptomint

A*Men Kryptomint is a gourmand fragrance with a sharp, cool mint opening that settles into a rich, sweet chocolate and patchouli base. The mint is dominant initially but fades quickly, leaving behind a warm, creamy mix of vanilla, tonka bean, and coffee that lingers pleasantly on skin. Its performance is moderate, lasting around 6-8 hours, though some users report it becoming a skin scent sooner. It projects well for the first hour but becomes moderate to subtle afterward. The fragrance is versatile across seasons and occasions—ideal for spring and fall, particularly in cooler weather or social settings—but less suitable for hot, humid days. It's notably elegant and textured without being overwhelming or too sweet, though some find the mint artificial or the base too soft. Its unique blend of mint, chocolate, and patchouli gives it a distinct identity, resembling a mint chocolate chip ice cream or a dinner mint, and while not scented like a classic A*Men, it carries the brand's DNA with a softer, cooler twist. It's one of the most admired flankers in the A*Men line for its balance, sweetness, and intriguing evolution. The aroma is slightly intimate in sillage, with projections that are moderate and a dry down that is soft and inviting. It's unisex in appeal and often praised as a signature scent for those who enjoy gourmands with a herbal twist. Some users note that it doesn't live up to expectations due to its mild projection and short burst of mint, but for fans of gentle, sweet, mint-laced fragrances, it's a standout. Overall, it's a well-blended, memorable scent with style, depth, and broad appeal. Its discontinuation has made it a sought-after collectors’ piece, and while some find it too sweet or overshadowed by other flankers, most agree it’s a worthwhile and enjoyable fragrance to own.
