Perfumer: Serge De Oliveira
An extravagant fruity perfume in which warm boozy spices (cinnamon and cloves) incite carefree fruit into jammy debauchery in some dense sweet patchouli setting. Check out the crazy banana explosion in the opening.

The Sniff on Mint's Meek Passion:
"[it] is a scent for those who like their fragrances on the darker, more impolite and dirtier end of the spectrum. It evokes booze and sweat and smoke on the skin in its wear. The way the fragrance begins though is cheerful and totally unexpected making for an interesting juxtaposition."
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The mood is relaxed but a little unruly: a gathering that has outlasted dessert, with conversation drawing closer and the room still warm. The cheerful banana opening gives way to jammy fruit and earthy patchouli, bringing a darker edge to the initial sweetness.
How to wear
Its dense sweetness and warm spices make it a natural choice for cooler weather. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the fruit opening to settle before adding more. In warm rooms, apply sparingly so the gourmand richness does not dominate close conversation.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy tropical fruit and gourmand sweetness but want an earthy, less polished counterweight. Banana, pineapple and vanilla provide the pleasure; patchouli, vetiver and warm spice make it more challenging than a straightforward fruity confection.
Release year
2016
The nose
Serge de Oliveira composed Meek Passion. A perfumer at Robertet, he works with the interplay of natural materials and contemporary accords. Here, his composition sets an exuberant fruit opening against warm spice, gourmand sweetness and a darker patchouli-and-vetiver base.
Collaborators
Founders Serge and Helen Mints collaborated with Serge de Oliveira on the fragrance’s concept, helping shape its expression of passion through contrasting fruity, sweet, spicy and bitter sensations.
MINT’s story
M.INT is an Italian-registered perfume house built around its founders’ personal aesthetic rather than broad appeal or passing trends. Its philosophy places emotion, imagination and scent memories at the centre of fragrance creation, allowing distinctive contrasts to take precedence over easy familiarity.
Meek Passion’s concept
Meek Passion explores indulgence through the tension between languid fruit, sweetness, spice and bitterness. In the founders’ recollection, its starting point was a French dessert enjoyed amid the atmosphere of Cannes’ Promenade de la Croisette. That scene supplied the inspiration rather than a literal list of fragrance notes.
Extra info
Meek Passion belongs to M.INT’s Violet line, also known as the Purple line. Its conspicuous banana opening earned it a place in The Sniff’s Best of Esxence 2019 selection.
