If the word kryptonite means weakness and it is abbreviated and tacked onto the word mint to create Thierry Mugler’s latest fragrant A*Men incarnation Kryptomint, does that mean the cologne is the ultimate sensory-weakening scent?
Yes, quite possibly.
What we do know for certain is that the German heavyweight designer has once again created a brilliant olfactory experience.
Exploding in an abundance of minty freshness, Kryptomint is infused with green geranium and sage, before being funnelled into warm tonka bean and vanilla, seductive chocolate and bold coffee and last but not least, woody patchouli. The overall effect has a vivacious, energetic, irresistible and intoxicatingly invincible feeling. And while unique in it’s glacial qualities, like all of its A*Men predecessors, this powerful eau is captured in the requisite cylinder complete with a glass star centre, albeit this time it’s hue is an icy, turquoise blue.
Thierry Mugler’s Kryptomint Limited Edition EDT comes in 100 ml for $99. It’s available at Hudson’s Bay stores across Canada.
