Mint & Tonic Atkinsons for women and men

I thought the opening of this was great,smelled like opening a cold bottle of Sprite..extremely refreshing,unfortunately it dies down in a few mins and I’m left with a skin scent that has no personality,like an unscented deodorant spray.

Picked up a four pack of travel size fragrances because I like 3 of 4 of them and these are easy to wear and relatively quite friendly. I enjoy the mint and tonic , but agree that the performance is less than desirable at this price point, but a lot better than many popular mainstream fragrances (albeit half the price of this one). The lime is initially very strong, but recedes in the first few minutes to let the mint, ginger, and "tonic" element develop. The result to me is a more perky, lighter, and fuzzy aromatic. There's a slight warmth underneath, and the spice element from the ginger is well balanced, and not overdone. Perfect for a sunny cool day.

A pretty straightforward mint, lime, grapefruit scent. It has added touches of mandarin orange, ginger, cedar and musk. Realistic smell, pleasant and easy going, feels like you have all these citruses and herbs in front of you.

Very fresh, green, bright and minty, not much else to say. Not very unique DNA again, I personally have similar scents to this from Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria line, so I don’t need Mint&Tonic.

Unsurprisingly, quite weak performance, lasts about 2-3 hours with minimal sillage. For the performance, not the quality of the juice, Mint&Tonic it is slightly overpriced in my opinion.

It smells like a gin tonic with mint leaves with some lemon squeezed in. Very refreshing. I would consider this unisex

It’s a shower type scent. Great to spray on after and feel fresh but does not last at all. Tbh I feel like Atkinsons is a no from me. Shame as they create very interesting and unique scents but literally NONE last. I have tried multiple and I give up

This opening is 🔥 but don't get your hopes up, because the fun ends soon.
After that it settles into a weaker vetiver and musk. In the same realm as Floris Limes which is awesome, but has major performance problems. It smells amazing, carrying a decant is a must.

Scent 7.9/10
Performance 2/10

I have three from this house; Oud Save The King, Odd Fellows Bouquet and Pirates Grand Reserve which is a favourite of mine. Mint & Tonic however was my introduction to this house and I'm glad I didn't stop there. This smells like just another generic men's EDT from Shoppers Drug Mart with no lasting power at all, which is good as I don't want to smell like a cheap EDT. Kind of reminds me of that cheapie Alfred Sung Paradise, just a generic green blah. For a very brief, and I mean brief, moment, the mint rises to the top and you think "oh, okay, this is ni-" and then it's gone.

I was given a sample of this and I thought I'd try it again to see if my impressions had changed but no, this is still pretty bad. With so many great fragrances out there, there's no need to spend the money they want for this. That said, I do like the other three I have a lot from this house quite a bit, even the strange Odd Fellows Bouquet.

Mint & Tonic is a sparkling, refreshing scent that performs poorly. The opening is breathtaking, sparkling, mint, ginger and citruses. It reminds me a summer drink, like a refreshment or a cocktail.

This beautiful opening lasts for 10 minutes, then it goes very weak like and projects softly for 30 minutes, after that it becomes a skin scent and after 2 hours it's barely detectable. It's a summer scent, very versatile, mostly for the day. It needs a lot of heat to project properly.

Overall, this is just an amazing opening but nothing more. I can't justify the 140€ price for something that doesn't last. I would rather go for something like Guerlain Homme edp which has this cocktail vibe, it's opening isn't so breathtaking but lasts a lot of time and costs 4 times less.

I bought a sample of this perfume to test since I’m searching for a good mint fragrance. It opens up with hint of mint, no citrus on my skin, then dries down to a soapy clean aquatic scent with geranium strong, zero ginger, and quickly becomes a musky fresh scent. Nice but not what I want. Mint is not the main note the herbal geranium scent is strongest.

This is a skin scent on me with no scent trail that faded fast within an hour. I’m not into herbal scents so I changed scents once this faded after 2 hours. No idea why they called this Mint & Tonic because it isn’t boozy scent or minty in any way.

Tried this today after being accosted by a sales assistant who picked the wrong guy to talk fragrances with! I tested her kung fu and it was pretty poor, she was very nice though and didn't pretend to be knowledgeable after she realised she was dealing with a fragrant OG!!! ;) I found it slightly underwhelming in truth. I'm a big fan of this brand for some reason I say that because not one fragrance wows me but there's some good solid stuff in there. Burlington Arcade was the highlight of recent releases from this house, Mint & tonic does open with a refreshing lime citrus, settling to a cleaner, aquatic type fragrance with a sharp hint of ginger. I was expecting something of the G&T or mojito from the name but instead a modern, clean affair which only has a hint of mint and no juniper which the tonic suggests. It's a clean, cool citrus musk of good quality, with some vetiver and cedar in the base but that's about it! Performance was average to poor on me.
