Eau de Minthé

Eau de Minthé by Diptyque presents a refreshingly clean, masculine-leaning fougère with a peppermint-forward opening. It evokes a vintage barbershop aesthetic—clean, slightly medicinal, and very reminiscent of old-school aftershaves or Gillette shaving foam. The mint note is prominent initially but fades quickly into a subtle green herbal base, where geranium, patchouli, and a faint rose blend seamlessly. The drydown is soft, intimate, and lingers on the skin with moderate longevity. Though performance is moderate, it settles into a refined, skin-scent quality that feels clean and well-balanced. It’s highly wearable during spring and summer, suits office or casual environments, and appeals most to those seeking a classic, non-contrived masculine or unisex fragrance with a modern, herbal edge. The scent leans masculine but is not overly aggressive or loud.
