Crushed Green Leaves, Tree Sap, and Something Screechy
A sample of Saint-Germain-des-Prés came with my purchase of Dans Paris. From the notes, I expected to love this. However, that is not the case.
The petitgrain opens very green, like crushed green leaves and some drops of tea sap. Reminds me to when I made some cuttings from my Philodendrons early in Spring.
But there is something very sweet, very powdery, and very screechy accompanying the petitgrain here. I sprayed it on my wrist once, with the tiny atomizer from the sample, and it's so strong that after 5 minutes it gave me a headache lol. This definitely can't be more different compared to Dans Paris in terms of sillage! But for the price? To be honest the Un Jardin line from Hermes is much better if you're looking for some fresh green scents.
