Does this fragrance smell like actual dirt or soil?+−
Despite the name, Dirty is a green and herbal fragrance. The name is a play on the idea of a "Dirty" cocktail or a rough-and-ready grooming routine; it smells predominantly of spearmint, herbs, and earthy oakmoss rather than literal mud or potting soil.
Is this suitable for a professional office environment?+−
While it is categorized as a fresh scent, it is quite potent and herbal. Some people find the mint and lavender combination to be reminiscent of cleaning supplies, so it is best applied lightly if you are heading into a confined workspace.
How does the mint note behave over time?+−
The spearmint is most aggressive in the opening. As the fragrance wears, the herbal tarragon and thyme become more prominent, eventually giving way to a woody base of sandalwood and oakmoss that sticks to the skin.
Can this be worn year-round?+−
Dirty is most effective in the spring and summer because the spearmint provides a cooling sensation. In the winter, the "cold" nature of the scent can feel a bit sharp, though the woody sandalwood base does offer a bit of warmth in the dry down.
