Mojito Chypre

This is a bizarre masterpiece with a sense of humor. A true unisex that is not gender neutral but is equal parts masculine and feminine in the most stereotyped ways and very aggressively so. The booziness is heavy and the vetiver is so overtly rugged as to be sexually charged. It’s a beautiful vetiver but its raw and unchecked macho attitude comes across as insecure manwhore. The booziness of course exacerbates this. Then there is the big, loud strawberry which manages to smell both authentically fruit like and like candy at the same time. It smells like if actual strawberries had dials to adjust their ripeness level and sugar content and the ripeness and sweetness were dialed up to eleven. The strawberry is overripe and bursting with juice so thick and sticky with sugar that it’s practically syrup. Drenched and dripping sugary strawberry that smells hot pink as opposed to red... this is a slutty strawberry. The booziness of course exacerbates this. The mint is strong and keeps everything chilled and refreshing. The vetiver and strawberry swim about in the crisp, clean mint chilled liquor while vying for dominance. They play with one another but they are unable to ever coalesce entirely. The lime is pretty subtle. It is mainly a garnish just like on the rim of a cocktail, it’s off there at the edge being the small detail that completes the entire scene. This fragrance is two people: a belligerent douche bro who reeks of a cheap, trashy men’s frag meant only to convey a rugged sex appeal with zero nuance and a garishly made up party girl who oversprays the most girly of crowd pleasing designer frags she can find and layers with the most sickeningly sweet candy scented BBW body mist she can find (no shade, I’ve been known to drench myself in such a manner.) They meet on spring break at a poolside hotel bar. They immediately begin flirting in a drunkenly brazen way until she takes offense to something he says and dumps her strawberry margarita all over him. Ultimately, this just fans the flames of passion however because mere seconds later they are aggressively making out against the bar. This fragrance is basically a scene from Jersey Shore but rendered with Caravaggio’s capacity for thoughtful attention to detail and emotional perception into the lower aspects of humanity. A very unusual and comedic work of art but a fun and absolutely wearable one!

EASILY THE BEST MOST NATURAL STRAWBERRY GOURMAND I have tried. Another PG classic left field. Arrived with PG Paris Fidji. Both do as advertised. Pretty Much. Reviews are I feel harsh and ratings for silage skewed as I think people expect a perfume with this difficult type of smell to still smash people in the face like Terre D’Hermes or PDM. I sprayed it on 3 hours ago on one arm and Paris Fidji on the other - in the car all I could smell whilst driving was Mojito Chypre. I think it is a slightly anosomic performer. Initial spray is a huge burst of bright strawberry juice just blended with a huge waft of mint following after a minute. The strawberry starts softening and the mint - all very natural - rides the top and middle like the strawberry is its bitch. Then the lime takes over a bit. After 10-15 the mint gives up giving a slightly stewed strawberry with a slightly woody base and lime (just enough to subdue the sweetness and stop it being a complete children’s novelty scent and providing just enough depth to make it passably masculine). After 30-60 minutes it smells like a punnet of ripe strawberry’s with leaves unwashed maybe sitting on a fresh cut cedar plate. For most of the initial journey it succinctly in summary reminded me of a Stawberry Daquiri or maybe natural stawberry icecream just out of the freezer with some mint garnish that falls off at some point. The beauty of this scent is the natural content and the journey for a few hours. It’s a novelty for men but a good one at that if you like gourmand - especially for summer at the beach or a personal occasion. For the ladies if you like gourmand let alone strawberry this is a no brainer.

Oh I like it. The rum with all the citrus in the beginning is an immediate attractive accord. It almost smells incensy. Then it quickly morphs into the mojito vibe smelling of the juiciest pleasant lightly minted strawberry. It's just sweet enough but not too. It hums into the heart exuding moss and vetiver but it never becomes overbearing and a little more masculine leaning but still about to be unisex easily. Then it dries down into a sweet soft woody strawberry. I really really could see this becoming a favorite summer scent of mine. It's such a departure for the expected summer fragrance. I've never sniffed strawberry done so right without smelling juvenile. This is genius and so good.

Having worn it throughout this summer, Mojito Chypre has slowly gone from a like to a love. I would even say that there is an addictive quality to it. Mint and aldehydes are the most prominent notes to me. The fragrance is rather linear and it loses some of its crispness only after around 12 hours when it will have become a classic chypre fragrance. Mojito Chypre has a refreshing and cooling effect on my skin and its crispness is able to withstand the summer heat without losing power. This is the ideal scent for a summer music festival where it creates a bubble of freshness around you, blocking out the unpleasant odors that may come with large crowds in summer.

A perfume that evokes festive summer days, gives well-being and positivity! The whole atmosphere of beach parties and summer parties is captured in a perfume . An icy mint at the beginning, fresh and sharp and a juicy strawberry, give way to rum and noste musky and clean at the bottom. A cheerful and evocative perfume. Very beautiful.
