Highly Recommend: Cachou Lajaunie for the freshest breath.
, a column dedicated to our very opinionated editors’ favorite things to eat, drink, and buy.
I learned many things from my French ex. In France, instead of the Tooth Fairy, there’s a tiny mouse that sneaks into children’s rooms and steals their teeth. In certain provinces, the traditional greeting of “la bise” is not limited to two cheek kisses but extends to three or sometimes four. The French word for “walkie talkie” is, absurdly, “talkie walkie.” But the most valuable thing I learned is that, after a meal of ripe cheese or garlicky snails, a normal breath mint won’t cut it.
The addition of natural mint flavor and powdered catechu, an acacia tree extract used in ayurvedic medicine and known for its refreshingly astringent quality, gives the petite pastilles a cooling mouthfeel, but the dominant flavor is definitely licorice. In the U.S. we tend to think of “mint” as synonymous with fresh breath, but not so in other parts of the world. But I can vouch, the feeling after is clean, clean, clean.
Now I keep a tin of Cachou Lajaunie in my purse at all times. Not only are its breath-freshening properties more effective than a TicTac, but they’re also more delicious—at least to a licorice lover like me.
