A pretty child of the Hermès family

A statement about it I have already written, but now a review, because so many letters fit into no statement ?.
First : I like fragrances from Hermès very much and the creations that come from the heart and hands of Mr. Ellena, anyway .
Find it a bit of a shame that many of them have become too popular and thus "office and workplace fragrances", on the other hand, I'd rather have these around me when I'm working than anything oppressively heavy, complicated, migraine.

Specifically this fragrance I had been given years ago, but at the time it was too unisex for me, even masculine, my boyfriend at the time was allowed to have it.

Years later, I discovered my absolute (to this day) favorite fragrance of Hermès : Le Jardin De Monsieur Li, which somehow came familiar to me and has accompanied me faithfully for a few years.
A little later, my husband got 'Terre d'Hermès' as a gift, at that time a novelty that we both liked and which also seemed totally familiar to me.

Why am I writing all this? Please, a little patience, soon comes the explanation.

About a week ago I came across Eau de Mandarine Ambrée here in the souk and since I'm an absolute citrus notes fan and was also curious, as the fragrance after so many years break on me, I quickly ersoukt.
Got (lightning shipping, thanks again, @Ischgelroi !), quickly unpacked (the bottle is sooo pretty, makes immediately good mood) and tested...
Yes, this is a Hermès, you can tell immediately, my first plus has the Wässerchen.
I immediately got the impression that Eau de Mandarine Ambree, though chronologically incorrect, is a nice, somewhat introverted but thoroughly good-humoured child of aforementioned TdH and JdML. There is a family resemblance to the two that is striking to me, which pleases me because there are very fond memories associated with it ?.

Sprayed on the skin, comes out first a clear tangy mandarin ( very similar to Monsieur Li der/as/the kumquat), which disappears but very quickly (much too quickly) and on niederwiederriechen, the scent becomes sweeter, warmer, ambery, not yellow or orange, but rather green (there is also green amber?), and I have definitely sniffed out a touch of patchouli.
After ca.30 minutes, the scent is only perceived close to the skin, there it remains very long, but becomes quieter and quieter, zero citrus, the tangerine was only at the beginning times briefly there. Passion fruit I could not determine, but am not sad about it.
At the end of the day, I still liked the fragrance, but was totally disappointed by the sogut wie nicht vorhanden durability.

Today I dared the attempt on the clothes, and run for hours fascinated at me sniffing around? I still smell the mandarin (-nschale), which makes me incredibly happy as a citrus fan, at the beginning like one, it is not sharp, perhaps by the ambery warm sweetness (subtle, rather masculine), which I can also perceive very well.
I also stick to my theory that patchouli is at least somewhere on the fringes. Some note reminds me a little of Ovaltine, find it also very pleasant.
And the fragrance lasts and lasts!
On the clothes he hardly changes, only the tangerine becomes paler.

Conclusion :
a clear unisex fragrance, discreet and a GuteLauneMacher, I like! Will definitely wear it simultaneously on the skin and on clothes, then I have longer what of it and it remains not only amber.
