Load of Rhubarb

Juicy crisp red fruity stem, an herbaceous green undertone and lots of delicately sweet acidity make up this photo realistic portrait of Rhubarb.
Underneath lie impressions of a dry hawthorn flower and rosehips, with ionones, all set on an intrusively strong white musky base.

Rhubarb has been stalking perfumery's hinterland for a decade or so now - since it first appeared under the CdG label - but this Hermès is the first time the vegetable fruit has made the big league; begging the question - is Rhubarb a good idea?
I'm not sure; don't know that I would wear Rhubarb myself; I suspect it's rather too gimmicky to stand the test of time, but let high summer be the judge of that.

If this juice had the power to divert - by one single iota - the course of high street masculines' away from their savage nose stinging grapefruit obsession, I would be content to spend from now until September smelling like I had just stepped into the Wakefield Rhubarb Triangle.
It ain't gonna happen though.

Rhubarb soda

I am having generally a hard time to find fruity scents for warmer weather that I like, aren't too feminine for me & something that doesn't smell generic. This checks the whole list.

Tangy, sweet&sour freshly cut rhubarb stem from a garden of dried flowers and a clean musk undertones. The color of the flacon matches the scent perfectly, it is a bright, cheerful & optimistic scent, it has a sparkling quality to it which I really appreciate, especially for the hot days when you don't want to smell like shower gel or the ocean. To me the sourness here makes this perfectly unisex and a super experience to wear this.
This is my favorite from the Eau de Cologne line and I just got my hands on a 100ml for a great price as this needs overspraying if you want longevity. Presentation is amazing, this is one of my ALL TIME favorite scents. A must sniff for sure.

Incredibly fresh

The rhubarb is so bright and tart, the musk is soft and smooth and the Lantana is such a pretty floral note. Everything is well balanced, this is bright, fresh and delicate. I am most surprised by the floral lantana, I expected rhubarb to be dominant but evrything plays nicely. It also lasts quite a long time for a fragrance so soft.

life stages in scent evolution

So when I first took a sniff of this I immediately thought: fruity, feminine and teen.
I still feel it leans feminine but I really like the rhubarb and musk that this eventually settles into.
When first applied it smells very fruitberry-like, brings to mind Bath and Body Works type of body wash, lotion and who knows what other form, but it does move forward, matures, if you will.
This definitely settles down but this, by no means, can be confused with more formal type of scents. You really got to like rhubarb, I do, that's why I think Mugler's B*Men is great.

Casual as can be and warmer daytime activity.

Also for fruit enemies

Unfortunately, I'm not a fruit eater - and I'd rather avoid the healthy vitamin donors.

But it's the controversial rhubarb that attracts me.
Hardly any fruit - or is it a vegetable - polarises like him.

Even as a child I liked to put the stalk in the sugar bowl and enjoyed the sweet, bitter and sour taste.
All taste buds are addressed here.

And what a festive day when my ma put her rhubarb cake on the table, topped with a snow-white meringue blanket that crackled pleasantly when it was cut and in her mouth.

To my astonishment my father and my husband pretended to be full of paper - so full, they don't like a leaf - määh.
Even in this heavenly form they could be hunted with rhubarb.

So it didn't surprise me when I entered the house with rhubarb blowing around, to see the husband in reverse.
The stirngerunzelte question was whether I would have bought rhubarb.
Yes - so natural is the invigorating Hermes !
I take a break from art - and for a change look into a relieved face as I present the bottle.
He also swallows my new hummer jacket without comment, which even I find shrill.
It should always be that way.

I enjoy the bitter freshness of rhubarb, to which fine sweetness is added by musk - and the husband is pleased that neither rhubarb compote nor cake are waiting for him.
