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 Berries, Green, 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 fruity-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.

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.
