Brocard Black Currant and Mint (Черная смородина и мята) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Sylvie Fischer. Black Currant and Mint (Черная смородина и мята) opens with Red Fruits, Green Notes, Blackcurrant, and Mint, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk. Brocard's Black Currant and Mint (Черная смородина и мята) carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a real marmite scent. Blackcurrant and Mint is either a blissful, naturalistic journey to a summer dacha, or an authentic sweet jam that you might not want to wear in public. It has its fans, but it's divisive.

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Sport

Its natural, tart, and green profile with moderate longevity makes it best suited for casual, daytime wear. While refreshing, some find it too authentic to a "jam" or "dacha" scent for professional or formal settings.

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

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Blackcurrant and Mint opens with an immediate burst of tart, juicy blackcurrant, almost jam-like, with a vibrant green backdrop of crushed leaves. A cool, crisp mint note cuts through the fruit, adding an aromatic, fresh-spicy zing that keeps it from succumbing to outright sweetness. As it settles, a subtle musk emerges, blending with hints of red berries and a barely-there rose, lending a delicate, natural fruitiness that feels less like a perfume and more like a garden breeze.
