B. Dunn Company, a perfume manufacturer in Rochester, New York, which is exactly the origin the taste suggests. The remarkable part is the continuity: the mints were reportedly produced on the same equipment for over a century. What ended them was not a bankruptcy or an acquisition, just competition — by 2013 they had fallen away against Breath Savers and Tic Tacs, and the line was stopped. Stock lingered in wholesalers for a while after that, which is why you will find people who remember buying them later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to buy instead\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe substitution that sellers who stocked Sen-Sen actually recommend is \u003cstrong\u003eChoward's Scented Gum\u003c\/strong\u003e: same violet-and-perfume register, in chewable form, made by C.
