Terre d'Hermès Eau Très Fraîche Hermès 2014

With the EdT being one of my favorite scents, you'd think (at least according to some previous speakers) that I'd have to categorically reject this one and cry it out as a watered-down mirage of the original. No dirt, no depth, it's undeniable:

Many parts that make the original such a delight are here in vain.

However: the original,
as perfect as it may be, is just too heavy for me for high summer. Specifically 32 degrees and up. In addition, it has Jean-Claude Ellena here managed to conjure up a smile on my face once again.
My first association with eau très fraîche was a very specific image that popped into my head: if you want to drink a lot more water in the unbearably hot summer, but water alone is too bland, what do you do?

Some now reach for soft drinks or tea, but I for my part,

like to chop up some citrus and pour it in a large carafe of regular tap water.

The longer the carafe sits, the more the water takes on the flavor of the fruit, all it takes is one orange, lemon, lime, tangerine....

Now imagine,
someone pours himself effusively, spilling a not inconsiderable amount over his hands, and in a fit of banter, grinning and with an elegant wave of the hand,
this water finds its way towards your face.

This is what the head of Eau très fraîche smells like to me.

You know those olfactory summer associations?

Sunscreen, chlorine smells, downpours after a long heat wave. Smells that instantly make you think of better times.

That's this orange water for me, that's why Eau très fraiche is such a grin scent with me.
It makes me happy.
It makes me carefree.
He refreshes me, if only briefly.

But now I come to the negative sides, because I have a 125 ml bottle (horrible to use)... and the is almost empty, despite the inner compulsion I feel to wear every day what else.

Where I might go overboard with some fragrances, or with others, light, even times up to 10-12 sprays, it helps nothing with the eau très fraîche.

I bathe in the stuff and it still doesn't last. Half an hour,
after that you have to nibble on my earlobe to perceive the.

Therefore, I will probably not repurchase it, as much as I like to smell it myself. He does not perform what I need for a day fragrance.

Nevertheless, I assign the fragrance an unrestricted love, which must hide, for me not behind the original.

It has me darüberhinaus once again fun to read all these comments before me.

It's great how many write here ellenlange texts to many fragrances, which actually only statements between the lines:

I devote more time to this hobby here and therefore I understand much simply better than you and I am right.

No malicious quips at this point, but if I read that silly toilet bowl comparison one more time with n summer citrus scent, I'll dissolve WC-Frisch 1-to-1 in doppelkorn and wear that the rest of the summer.

I get it, Terre d'Hermès is n timeless masterpiece. But that does not make the flanker nem Lidl perfume Lord. If you feel hurt by something like that in your honor, you take the number here too seriously.
