Mint and Roses?

Montale Roses Musk
Notes: roses, musk, mint
Parisian perfume house Montale, famous for their use of oudh (agar,aloeswood) in perfumery, also has a regular perfume line, Roses Musk is one of their newest.
This starts off as a pleasant, if not earth-shattering, combination of a dry fresh rose petal aroma couple dwith a lovely slightly sweet musk. But wait...what's that other aroma? It's sharp, maybe a little metallic, and undeniably skanky. Oh…urine. Not mint. There almost seems to be a bit of citrus, or woods, hiding behind the offending note, but I detect no mint at all. A shame, as it would have been greatly preferred.
