C. O. Bigelow Vanillamint Supreme 2X Concentrated Vanilla-Mint Fragrance No. 505 — Long-Lasting, Cooling Scent

C.O. Bigelow Vanillamint Supreme 2X No. 505 is a concentrated vanilla-and-mint fragrance blend designed to freshen skin and linens with a long-lasting, cooling aroma.

This scent pairs warm vanilla depth with bright peppermint top notes for a balanced, modern gourmand fragrance. Formulated by the heritage apothecary C.O. Bigelow, Vanillamint Supreme 2X is concentrated so a small amount delivers a pronounced scent profile ideal for use as a personal body fragrance, linen mist, or room refresher. The No. 505 concentration suggests a richer delivery versus standard eau de toilette strength, giving you a stronger impression while remaining easy to layer over other products.

How does Vanillamint Supreme 2X smell and perform throughout the day?

The fragrance opens with cooling mint that quickly mingles with creamy, warm vanilla for a sweet-but-fresh character. Expect the mint to be noticeable at first, settling into a vanilla-dominant drydown that keeps a subtle freshness. Because it’s a 2X concentration, the scent projects more and lasts longer than lighter formulations, making it suitable for evening wear or occasions when you want your fragrance to be more present.

• Top notes: bright peppermint and cool menthol lift
• Heart notes: soft, rounded vanilla tones
• Finish: warm, sweet vanilla with lingering mint freshness
• Concentration: doubled strength for stronger projection and longevity

How should I apply this concentrated fragrance for best results?

Use sparingly: a little goes a long way with a concentrated formula. Apply to pulse points or lightly mist linens and clothing at a distance to avoid staining; for skin, spray once or twice and allow it to settle to reveal the full vanilla-mint balance.

• Skin: one or two sprays on wrists, neck, or behind the ears
• Linen or room: mist from 12–18 inches for even coverage
• Layering: pairs well over unscented lotions or neutral base scents
• Storage: keep cool and away from direct sunlight to preserve notes

What occasions and settings suit Vanillamint Supreme 2X?

The vanilla-mint combination is versatile—warm enough for cozy evenings yet fresh enough for daytime use when you want a subtle twist. Its stronger concentration makes it excellent for special events, date nights, or when you want your fragrance to be more noticeable in social settings. It also works well as a linen spray to add a welcoming scent to bedrooms or guest spaces.

• Evenings out: richer projection enhances presence
• Casual daytime: use lightly for a refreshing twist
• Home: mist on linens or in living spaces for an inviting aroma
• Gifting: distinctive unisex fragrance with classic apothecary appeal
