Rocco (Mint)

LET YOUR DEDCOOL FRAGRANCES MACERATE!!! Honestly when I first got this and sprayed it on my skin, I didn't like it. That was like 5 months ago, and I studied abroad so I didn't bring it with me. At that time, it was like biting into a piece of grass. For some reason the mix of the mint and the green florals with the synthetic alcohol just didn't sit right at the beginning. But now it's macerated, and I LOVE it. The jasmine is right there in the beginning, like I could picture it so distinctly, like someone picked a jasmine flower and encased it in resin. It's such a realistic and natural jasmine. It's exactly the way it smells when you go up to a real life plant: white floral, with that touch of crunch green, and kind of like sucking a honeysuckle too. It brings up so many summer childhood memories of being in the yard in the summer sucking on honey suckles, my trip to corsica when I was 9 years old and smelling the white jasmine growing on the walls, and drinking homemade mint sun tea. The jasmine blends well with the lily too. And the mint is definitely separated if you smell for a few seconds, and comes out right behind the green florals, but it is just so subtle now as opposed to when I first tried this, and perfectly uplifts it the other notes so gently. Really to me the jasmine pops out the most, it's so realistic! The mint was a LOT more prominent a few months ago before this has macerated. If you're not into that, and prefer something that's more perfumey, chic, put together, and high performing, I feel like this fragrance won't impress you. But if you appreciate whimsy, the finer things in life, making art, sitting out on the grass, making flower crowns, and the natural aromas of the earth right after it rains, I think you'll find this pleasing. I am exactly that kind of person, and I love this. And it sits so well on my skin.

Wow - this was so intensely cool minty. At first I had to scrub it off. I’m glad to have gone back. The initial impression is an icy blast of aquafresh toothpaste and heady, sensual jasmine. The jasmine has that nectary-indolic tone that you see with tuberose. Within 1-2 mins the mint takes a support role, lending a fresh coolness to watery florals, the clove is a nice spicy base, very smoothing. Agree with others, jasmine sticks around. Truly unisex - I was worried the mint would read too masculine but it settles into just such a beautiful scent- I could see this on: - the powerhouse biz woman commanding a board meeting in a tailored silk suit - the avante-guard fashion student in Berlin - the genderfluid garden nymph - the well-dressed bi-coastal gay on a lunch date - the book lover, wrapped in a cozy scarf as it snows This perfume manages to be cool and original AND appealing enough to suit many types of people. I’d recommend testing to anyone who enjoys a bit of risk and individuality in their self-expression, likes to smell fresh or aromatic, and enjoys a photorealistic white floral. The final dry down is a gorgeous, cool nectary lotus and oakmoss, it feel like a creamy tea. Medium-intimate sillage but lasted for hours from just 1 spray.

The initial spray was equally balanced of jasmine and mint. As many others have noted the initial mintiness quickly dissipates. When I smell it on my arm I get jasmine, when I breathe in the air around me afterward, I notice the mint. You kind of have to look for it but it's there. The jasmine is strong but I'm also getting a note of lotion, almost your classic slightly coconutty sunscreen. As it dries down its smelling more unisex and more ocean-like. There is a light fresh powder note that runs through the whole scent. Very fresh. I'm not getting the clove. I like it but it doesn't feel like me. It feels a little bit too cool bordering on apathetic. It's simple. Others have mentioned grandma which I disagree with but I also am very tolerant of florals. I would love to smell just like a flower. It reminds me of my mom in a nice way. She is breezy and beachy like this perfume.

Like the name suggests, Rocco is reminiscent of a pot of mint tea. Refreshing mint paired with comforting oakmoss and balanced with clove and white florals, it feels unique and refreshing, but casual and comforting at the same time. It starts out as cool and green, with an almost damp, petrichor-like feeling, and dries down as a warmer white floral. The mint is refreshing and sharp with that "fresh picked" smell, and the oakmoss and clove give it a nice natural creaminess. It's perfect for the winter-to-spring transition we have going on at the moment, but I'm curious how it might evolve in a true winter chill. I often forget that this is an EDP because it simply does not perform like one. Like many mint fragrances, though unique and pleasant, the star note is fleeting. I love the character of Rocco, I just wish it stayed for a while.

This was my favorite of the scent sample pack I got from dedcool, and I ran out of my 2 mL within a week or two :(. This is a SUPER interesting mint scent that isn't really like anything I have smelled before. It's super green and light, an amazing morning scent for spring, summer, or even a cold winters morning. I absolutely adore this scent, and I know to many it can come off as very "soap-like" but to me it makes for something I put on when I want to feel good about myself and feel clean and fresh. The scent really radiates for the first 30 minutes upon spray with the mint and florals but then dies down to a very temperate floral/mossy/minty scent that is very versatile. I would 100% recommend (at least to try) to anyone who is a fan of green scents.
