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.

A shame this has been discontinued. As someone who people are convinced acts like a spoiled npc princess after taking a quick glance at my social media and fashion, this mint jasmine scent as my signature would send them into shock. But oh, I like that it leans toward gender neutral and it lacks the synthetic feel that other perfumes blast me with. Something about the opening of mint is so freeing. And the moss base brings this fragrance down to earth. It’s just so naturally pleasant. And I know I seem one dimensional but I can’t be smelling one dimensional too... Dedcool please bring this back before they start spreading the plastic surgery rumors about me again.

It’s truly garden-like. The mint note is fleetingly there, I wish it was stronger. The most prominent scent is a quality, luxurious jasmine. The herbs (and cloves especially) sort of remind me of white tiger balm but fresher, and complimented with feminine florals. It feels like aromatherapy, I feel held when I wear it; that is the kind of imprint I want to project outwardly. The concepts that come to mind when I smell this: A freshly bathed woman, tea parties, a Victorian lady with filigree, a spring garden.

I love this perfume for warmer months. I only truly smell the mint at first and it dissipates quickly - but it is a super fresh and vegetal mint, not like bubblegum mint. To me this smells like falling asleep in a beautiful garden be. The florals are well balanced and it doesn't give an overly mature smell like I have found with some jasmine perfumes. Every time I wear this perfume people ask if we have fresh flowers somewhere in the jewelry store I work in. To me that is the ultimate compliment!

Wow!! I got samples of the entire DedCool line, and just from reading the notes, I thought Rocco would interest me the least. Turns out it’s my favorite! I’m so impressed with DedCool, especially the fragrances in their series 2. The mint in Rocco is soft but present, and the jasmine note is the big player here. Somehow it never becomes powdery and nauseating but stays sweet, creamy and green. The oak moss is soothing and grounding. Absolutely gorgeous, unique fragrance.

Love Rocco. The mint, jasmine, lily and oak moss stand out. Clove tickles the nose. This is a complex fragrance. To me, the dry down turns more jasmine, oak moss and lily. The mint kinda fades then reappears. It’s unique and presented well. Time is spent on perfecting the product instead of a fancy bottle. Clean. Edited to add: I see what the grassy scent is. I asked my son what he thought, he said it smells like dandelions. That’s all I can smell now. I still love it.

This is the epitome of a summer floral for me. I think my favorite way to wear it is layered with sunscreen -- something about the way they smell together is absolutely lovely to me! I will say, I smelled the mint only in my initial sprays, as it has matured in my collection, it really leans more and more heavily into florals. It smells almost like honeysuckle to me now. Luckily, I love it both ways!

The moroccan mint makes this a very fresh and modern take on a jasmine perfume. It's a very fresh floral scent perfect for spring and summer. The longevity is incredible — I can still smell it faintly on my wrist after a shower the next day. Sillage is moderate to strong, which I've found is true for most Dedcool perfumes.

I absolutely love this perfume and have been wanting it for about 2 years now. It's very light and clean smelling, and it's very jasmine and mint-forward. It would be a good everyday perfume or office scent, if you like Flor de la Virgen by Boy Smells or Happy by Clinique, you'd probably like this fragrance!

Grieving this daily. My perfect herbal, mint fragrance. Wild, natural, weedy, elegant, and airy. Lasted forever on my shirt. I loved layering this over Smiley Face Garden. The combo smelled like Darcy walking through the foggy morning meadow but he brought handpicked wildflowers. Woe is me.

This one caught me off guard - there's an initial minty opening which was fun, but then it opens up into the most beautiful clean, realistic stargazer lily scent + something faintly woody/spicy grounding it. I am not a floral fan in general, but this is heavenly.

Such a nice, refreshing, and comforting scent! On first spray I got immediate south East Asian tea house 🩷. So happy. Happiness and freshness with a jasmine tea comfort. Don’t get scared, it’s a jasmine tea, not a heady vintage jasmine smell.

This smells like drinking an iced jasmine tea on a sunny day. The floral notes take center stage and the mint gives this scent enough intrigue to keep it from smelling like your grandma's perfume. An excellent, refreshing, summery scent.

this scent is sooo fresh and comforting, sampaguita comes out a lot for me in the beginning and then dries down to a creamy mint. in love! this is also the only scent i enjoyed in the series 02 sample set besides milk.

Very green jasmine with a cool lift from mint. There's a tea-like quality from the oakmoss base that prevents things from pulling too sharp, but this lives on Green St.

I get a very milky sweet mint drink. I never smelled anything like this.

Transparent green blast upon first spray - lots of watery mint, some basil?, slightly medicinal. Jasmine stays way past the top notes (gratefully), and allows a warmth to be incorporated that may have otherwise been lost within the cooler lily and lotus. The fresh lotus/musky jasmine combo also help offset some of the lily waxiness and keep the spicy herb vibes afloat. Drydown is sophisticated, straightforward white floral, and a little soapy. If it makes you think of women "who stopped trying to smell alluring to anyone a long time ago" that may be your own internalized misogyny, this scent is both pleasant and interesting

The opening is a real blast of mint that is borderline toothpaste, but it settles quickly. To me the is the green cousin of Waterlily Tea Dress from Zara. Smells like a rainy spring day. I do like this and it's definitly unique but I'm not sure it's worth a full bottle. Longevity isn't really there. I really enjoyed my DedCool sample pack, it think that's worth it's price because the scents are so unique and interesting but none of them seem safe to buy without thoroughly testing first and I'd definitely say that about this scent.

This is the only Dedcool fragrance I like. Overall, the brand makes me cringe. The sillage and longevity are not great, but the scent is beautiful. It's very similar to ELDO's You or Someone Like You, but with added jasmine. The mint is fresh from the garden, crushed between your fingers mint, not toothpaste-y at all. I think it's a great fresh scent that's not too perfume-y but still floral. Really delicious and for $90, I don't mind reapplying.

Blooming green. Extraordinarily natural. Mint and jasmine, mingled evenly. Incredibly fresh, like dewy blades of grass in a misty garden. But also quite floral forward (obvious). However, it's a nice floral — cool and resonates with vibrant mintiness. The clove sits beautifully at the back. I wish I liked this even more! But there's not enough mint and the florals are too loud. It dips into that soapiness I don't care for.

Super photorealistic floral - feels like being in the middle of a honeysuckle bush. The white floral is predominant and loud intitially. I detect a bit of mint, but it fades as quickly as the fragrance hits my skin. Warms up a bit over time and becomes a tad soapy in a pleasant way.

i usually don’t like green scents, but i guess i make an exception for a good mint! love the scent of real mint. interesting, only sampled, but it’s not bad at first spray, nicely sweet while also having mint and a hint of green tea present

I LOVE the minty opening of this fragrance. It smells like a fragrant spring garden. However the dry down is a fresh white floral, slightly grandma-y. Sample is worth a buy but not the full bottle

This opens VERY minty, but that fades relatively quickly into a nice, green jasmine with a nice mint background. This is the only Dedcool fragrance I tried that I'll wear more than once.

Nice realistic mint smell! I'm shocked that I don't love this because jasmine and mint are two of my favorite notes. I bet once I've smelled it warming up on my skin, I'll be obsessed.

It’s nice but not what I expected. I personally can’t detect mint, the jasmine is all I smell. Wish it was a bit greener and less floral.

Not getting a lot of mint tbh, mostly white florals. It’s very pleasant!

Rocco (Mint) is a jasmine bomb. It opens with a photo-realistic mint, then explodes with intense jasmine. The moss and clove keep it unisex and spicy. This isn't fresh at all, instead it feels earthy and brings to mind images of magical old grove forests, the dappled sunshine breaking through the forest canopy making everything glow. The first time I wore this, my dad said that this is what he imagines the elves in Lord of the Rings smell like. I've worn this hiking, as it shines best under giant pine trees and sunshine. Lasts 4-5 hours on skin, days on clothes, and has moderate sillage.

I so, so, badly wanted to love this perfume! I've been trying to find other mint perfumes after trying out ELDO's You or Someone Like You and this would be perfect if not for the really strong jasmine note throughout the whole duration of wearing this! If you love jasmine notes then this would be perfect for you. Maybe it's because it reminds me of the Jasmine flowers my grandmother would put in her tiny Buddhist shrine in her room. For some reason they just don't agree with me!

Mint perfumes have never interested me in the past, but the crazy summer heat has me wanting to broaden my horizons. This was the first sample of a mint perfume I could get my hands on, and I definitely have mixed feelings. The first spray was overbearingly dirty and herbal, like a mint garden—soil included. It's kind of sharp in a bug spray kind of way to my nose. Eventually it fades to a nice jasmine scent, but I guess this is not the mint perfume for me.

Smelled of gardenia. Freshly picked jasmine still smelling fresh and green with the other notes turned so green it went gardenia. Eventually, it warms up, gathering a second wind with stronger projection. In this mid, it turns sweeter. I never do get that base of oakmoss and clove. I'd imagine this on a mother aged 50-60. The kind of woman who stopped trying to smell alluring to anyone a long time ago and simply enjoys a clean scent. Not my thing.

To me this smells exactly like lightly sweetened mint tea enjoyed on a warm LA patio filled with jasmine blossoms. I like it but it's almost too simple. I don't pick up on any of the other notes. I think it wish it was a little deeper/more grounded. I started wearing Jasmin et Cigarette from Etat libre instead - it feels more “cool” and interesting but a similar vibe.

Oh man this is an odd one for me. Minty start which dries down to what I can only describe as a savory, herbaceous white floral bomb. Very floral, and to my nose honestly savory. On paper my boyfriend said it smelled like stuffing 😅. It’s discontinued now. It’s a weird one, but if you like adventurous fragrances maybe find a sample to sniff before it fully goes away!

It opens with frankly overpowering jasmine and lily. The mint comes through within a few minutes but mainly stays hidden. Smells like spring in an herb garden, very green and floral. Kind of medicinal imo but not bad

It's nice, but lacks complexity. Doesn't compare to some of the other mint fragrances out there. The jasmine is really strong.

So interesting!! Scent has a cooling effect to it and turns sweet on my skin after a couple of hours. The opening is a mix of mint and cold earthiness, I’m not sure I pick up on the clove note. I love it and purchased a bottle :) It has very strong projection so a little goes a long way, also longevity is just as strong.

Almost pure jasmine to me. Overwhelmingly strong at first. Intense “grandma floral” vibes. Dated. I don’t care for this much at all. It’s okay hours later after it’s died down quite a bit, but certainly not worth a repurchase.

Very green. Interesting combination of jasmine and mint.

The opening smells like green mint-scented white paint which oddly doesn’t repulse me. The lily lending to a waxy smell that contributes to the plastic, paint vibe. It’s so unique it keeps bringing me in to take another sniff. It’s also fresh in a way. It’s compared to James by Rosie Jane which I have sampled and with listed notes of gardenia, fig, and amber, the gardenia and maybe fig make a lot of sense. The “paint” does give off an unsweetened but lush, creamy gardenia and a milky fig that isn’t sharp in its greenness. I thought Rocco would also be compared to Vert Malachite as that lush, airy, fresh, slightly green floral vibe is similar but it doesn’t. Vert has a natural sweetness that isn’t sugary from the florals, but Rocco with time on the skin start to become indolic. The paint accord intensifies. I wonder if anyone else has that association.

I had really high hopes for this one, and was unfortunately let down. With the name Rocco (Mint), I was hoping for a fresh mint tea fragrance (like moroccan mint tea), and even though I saw the notes of jasmine, I thought it would be like a jasmine tea. However, the jasmine in here is the most prominent note, and it is a straightforward jasmine oil. It's lovely, and there is a hint of minty freshness in there - I can smell the herbal minty greenness, but the jasmine is just so much stronger. It has a high concentration of perfume oil, so it really ends up smelling like a fresh jasmine scented oil, like an attar. Smells nice, but I am still looking for my perfect mint with jasmine perfume. Glad I sampled and did not blind buy.

I bought a full bottle of this one and use it to focus and energize, usually in the morning or when I've found myself "off-task" in the afternoon. I'm a jasmine connoisseur, and I actually have to disagree with many of the reviewers here: the jasmine note is very much second-fiddle to the strong, herbal mint smell. (I sometimes layer it with Panier Des Sens' Jasmine EDT if I need more jasmine.) This is not a particularly sexy fragrance but it is extremely pleasant and refreshing. Projection and longevity are both better than most of the DedCool scents.

I have tried almost the entire Dedcool collection and have been blown away by each and every fragrance.... except for this one. I thought I would love it because of the promised mint, but I get almost no mint at all. It's a very musky-smelling white floral with absolutely no greenness or freshness. Honestly, it smells a bit generic. Definitely not my cup of tea, but if a musky white floral with just the barest hint of mint sounds appealing to you, you'll probably like this.

this reminds me so much of moroccan mint tea, just like the name of the frag would suggest.... it also smells like jasmine tea to me, rather than blooming fresh jasmine. jasmine tea with crushed mint leaves and a little honey. it's a bit earthy/spicy with the moss and clove. i think this is a really unique perfume. you don't get a lot of perfumes with mint as a note, and it blends so nicely with the jasmine and lotus. longevity and sillage is pretty good for a clean perfume

Maybe my least favorite perfume I have ever smelled. The jasmine smells more like generic white florals and the mint smells like toothpaste. They are both there in the opening and feel so wrong together - like the sensation of drinking orange juice right after brushing your teeth. The mint goes away in the dry down and you’re just left with heavy white florals. I only let this sit on me for about 20 mins before scrubbing off.

Right out of the bottle, Rocco is fresh mint over a soft, creamy base. This base keeps the mint from being really invigorating...it stays more cozy. After a few, the mint goes a little more spicy on my skin, before the freshness fades. This dries down to a very nice green, herbaceous jasmine. Rocco is a super easy wear and different enough that you won't smell like everyone else. Good stuff.

Ninelives97, you certainly nailed it. Fresh modern interesting scent, heavy on lilacs to me which are greened by the mint. You can detect the musky base of Mylk in all of these fragrances. I need to wear more non-toxic, non-animal-tested scents, but deals are very hard to come by. I understand; I am just a constant buyer and one to go for a deal.
