Hesperides Grapefruit

I was wondering why this scent is named after the Hesperides nymphs. After a bit of digging, I found that the Garden of Hesperides houses the mythological "golden apples" that, supposedly, weren't apples at all according to historians, but actually citrus fruits. So I guess this scent is inspired by that Greek fable.

I don't care for citrus notes. Lemon feels forgettable, and lime reminds me of generic men's fragrances. And who even knows what a bergamot is? However, grapefruit is my exception. They smell so much fruitier and juicier than other citrus notes, and I can't help but to find them more interesting in compositions.

This is grapefruit done with a light touch (coherent with Fresh's brand identity). It's not at all zesty, but almost watery and placid with ambiguous florals and peach. It's an easy wear for anyone, especially during sunny or warm weather.

Hesperides

Finally! A citrus scent done right! I received mine as a gift from a very kind member here - thank-you! Over the last month, I've tried two other citrus based scents and they could never hope to hold a candle to this one. Those other two garnered negative reviews from me but this one is going to be positive. Have you ever had one of those days where you just don't know which fragrance in your wardrobe to grab for? On those days, this is the one I reach for. It's so perfectly blended. The notes harmonize with one another to create something so clean, clear, sparkling and fresh. I love the touch of sourness and tartness this has. Really beautiful! The grapefruit really is the star here and I couldn't be any happier with it. Puts me in mind of hot summer days. Sitting at a picnic table with a gingham table cloth draped over it. In front of you; a big, clear, glass pitcher of ruby red grapefruit cocktail juice filled to the brim with ice and slices of yellow and pink grapefruit! You reach for it because you know it's what you need. The perfume is no different.

Refreshing Grapefruit Cologne

Another bright and shiny citrus offering from Fresh, HESPERIDES is initially all about grapefruit, both juice and zest, until the classic Fresh base kicks in, which I happen to love, so naturally this is another winner in my perfume book. From the reviews I've seen, people seem pretty much divided as regards Guerlain's PAMPLELUNE: some smell in that composition cat pee, while others find it divine. Those in the former category still looking for an excellent grapefruit fragrance should definitely give HESPERIDES a try.

More generally, anyone who likes citrus scents really must check out the house of Fresh, since they do them better than just about anyone else. Natural, juicy, with enough depth and quality to count as haute cologne in most cases. But the non-citrus scents--CANNABIS ROSE and CANNABIS SANTAL--are bona fide perfumes. Of all of the contenders in the "don't worry, be happy" group of perfume houses, Clean, Philosophy, and Fresh, Fresh, I am now prepared boldly to assert, is by far the best. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that the founders of this house do not come under the nefarious accounting influences of their supercorporate master...
