M/Mink by Byredo

MMINKWHAT I SMELL:  Cedar chips and cat pee; that’s M/Mink’s opening to me.  It’s incredibly urinous and surprisingly I’m not offended.  There is a bit of honey that tops off the cat pee…maybe that’s what keeps it from being completely repulsive.  After a good 20 minutes or so, M/Mink begins to mellow and the patchouli brings a bit of sweetness in.  There’s also a tinge of incense that is ever so light that it seems to fade in and out.  Beyond that, M/Mink doesn’t develop all that much.  I don’t love it and I don’t hate it…this is one of those fragrances that you really have to be in the mood to wear.

M/Mink Notes:

Top: Adoxal
Heart: Incense
Base: Patchouli Leaf, Clover Honey, Amber

kitty-litterWHAT IT SMELLS LIKE TO ME:  A cat’s litter box that has been sprinkled with litter box freshener.

THREE ADJECTIVES THAT DESCRIBE M/MINK:  urinous, curious, modern

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT M/MINK:  Smellythoughts, The Scent Train, I Smell Therefore I Am

BOTTOM LINE:  M/Mink is dichotomous in that in sniffing it part of it feels warm and cozy while at the same time there is something very remote about it.  M/Mink is also what I call a fighting scent.  That means that I would wear something like this when I don’t want to be messed with cause I’m just not in the mood!
