Minya Green

Is it Worth It?

Minya Green is ideal for the woman who enjoys a playful, gourmand fragrance with a hint of salty intrigue. Picture her: a university student meeting friends for coffee, or a young professional grabbing drinks after work. She's bubbly and energetic, with a penchant for trendy accessories and a sweet tooth. It's a casual, everyday scent that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Notes & Nuances

Minya Green kicks off with a blast of sweet pistachio, almost like the pistachio pudding you find in the frozen aisle. The almond is a fleeting whisper, quickly overtaken by the sugary heart. Heliotrope takes center stage, lending a powdery, almost marzipan-like sweetness. The jasmine is polite, thankfully avoiding any indolic funk. As it dries down, the caramel and vanilla create a gourmand blanket, but the salt note adds an unexpected twist. This salty accord keeps it from becoming cloying, although I can detect a slight synthetic edge in the finish, like melted plastic toys. It diverges from Cherosia 62 in the base – there's a slightly acrid note present here that the original avoids.

Performance Reality Check

Longevity sits around 5-6 hours, with moderate projection for the first hour or so. After that, it becomes a skin scent, detectable only when someone's close. I wore it on a walk in the park and found it held up well in the breeze, but indoors, the sugary sweetness can become a little overwhelming.
