Betty Barclay Pure Pastel Mint is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Pure Pastel Mint opens with Yuzu, Pink Pepper, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Rose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Betty Barclay's Pure Pastel Mint carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, there's no real mint here, but this is a surprisingly decent and easy-going floral-fruity for the price. A pleasant, everyday reach that won't offend.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its inoffensive floral-fruity profile, make it an excellent choice for daily wear and office settings where subtlety is key. It's too light for formal events and not quite exciting enough for a date, but perfect for casual outings or a post-gym refresh.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, zesty splash of yuzu and a subtle fruity sweetness from blackcurrant, gently spiced with pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a soft, approachable floral bouquet dominated by a clean rose and the delicate nuance of cyclamen, rounded out by a hint of exotic ylang-ylang. It dries down to a comforting, understated blend of soft musk and creamy sandalwood, making for a smooth and effortless finish.
