French niche line Dear Rose has launched Mentha Religiosa, the third fragrance in the Songs collection (see Song for a Queen and White Song).
«The scent of peppermint awakens me, bringing my senses alive…
And with each passing hour, the perfume of incense slowly transposes me, places me at the heart of things…
Where you can hear my beating heart, if you come close…
Where I exist.»
Notes for the woody oriental fragrance include bergamot, peppermint, incense, cedar, white musk and patchouli.
Dear Rose Mentha Religiosa Song is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, €185.

A woody oriental called ‘religious mint?’ And that peppermint note will be gone in minutes.
Possibly. Minty incense does sound interesting though.
