Sun and nature

What a pity, what a great pity that this fragrance doesn't have a stronger sillage. But the subtle fragrance hits my feel-good nerve so much that I don't even care! I could spray it on all the time and just can't get enough.

Slightly sweet nut meets dry summer meadow in the evening, with an unobtrusive, warm freshness (citrusy, minty). You want to snuggle up in the fragrance.

I can hardly wait for summer with this fragrance. Applied after showering, it transports you directly to southern climes, somewhere where crickets chirp, where the grasses sway, a dance with Hermes and the other gods in the setting sun, I could easily write a poem about it ;)... simply beautiful!

Falling in love quietly

.. Let's go for a walk among the olive groves, eat pistachios and get to know each other. Barefoot up the hill. Nature, how Mediterranean and beautiful you are. At the top, we sit down on the grass under your trees. You tickle us under our feet. The sun tickles my nose and you make me dream. Secret, first love - you know it. I fall in love - quietly - with you.

For me, Un Jardin à Cythère wonderfully captures that feeling of happiness when you fall in love for the first time and haven't told anyone yet. Not even the chosen one.

For me, this is a very sophisticated fragrance that I would love to wear. It has something loving about it, suitable for leisure, for a date or even for work, for smart businesswomen or businessmen, without being busy. In the drydown, I only perceive olive and pistachio, in very natural Hermes style.

An absolute "mais oui" for me.

So let's go for a walk among the olive groves, eat pistachios and get to know each other.

In love with shock

In search of a fragrance for the warmer days, I went to my trusted perfumery for advice. I'm probably a somewhat difficult candidate when it comes to "lighter fragrances" because I find it hard to get rid of my preference - something with jasmine, sandalwood, amber, coconut, ..... But today I was ready to venture into new territory. After I had expressed my preferences, the saleswoman began to introduce me to a few fragrances one by one... when her hand initially headed for a flanker of "La vie est belle", I wanted to scream in horror (I don't like the basic fragrance in the range at all) but in fact it wasn't bad at all - especially the top note - but in the end it wasn't convincing for my current project (rose overkill - but a really great fragrance if you like rose). Next, she sprayed "Narciso Rodriguez Musc Noir"
on a test strip - unfortunately it was a complete fail - I just found it pungent and unpleasant....next try - a trip to the niche corner...Tiziana Terenzi Andromeda... beautiful fragrance description but unfortunately just totally synthetic for me. The next niche fragrance, whose name I have unfortunately completely forgotten, slowly brought me to the brink of despair... just a sweet canned fruit salad. ...I was about to thank them for their (unfortunately not very good this time) advice and drown my frustration in coffee, when the Hermes bottles from the "Un Jardin..." Series caught my eye. I had already sniffed one before and it had left a positive impression on me... so I slammed on the brakes at the Hermes shelf and sniffed through the range once... and what can I say... one was actually more beautiful than the other! I felt like I was on vacation... Mediterranean, multi-layered and, above all, natural and authentic. Dreamlike! That's exactly what I was looking for. I finally got stuck on "...sur le nil" and "....a cynthere". And surprise, surprise... it turned out to be Cynthere. Now finally to the fragrance - a dreamy citric opening with a slightly woody, spicy undertone that becomes softer as it progresses but still retains its slightly tart and refreshing note. I am shockingly in love with this dreamlike Mediterranean treasure. The only drawback is actually the longevity...it radiates quite well at first, but is unfortunately no longer perceptible on me after 4 hours. No matter...quickly go to the perfume cabinet and put on a spray of Traumurlaub. I won't be giving it away again!

Strange but beautiful.

It's a strange smell. Dominant pistachio with bug spray. Weird but true, it's a bit of a nice smell. This fragrance needs sun and warmth. Here in the Netherlands it is now cold, rainy and windy. Everything this fragrance does not stand for.
The strong pistachio note quickly disappears and the scent becomes more citrusy in a bug spray way and the dried grass makes the scent even more balanced. But again, in a very nice way. Christine Nagel knows how to create a beautiful and certainly not everyday perfume. She knows how to take Hermes fragrances to a new level. Tribute!

Hermes Surprised me..but not in a great way

Well...this is new.

Normally when I smell a Hermes fragrance I am instantly rushing to come on to forums, subreditts, Instagram, comments sections to slavishly-simp for the Designer brand I believe to greater than Tom Ford, Dior and Gucci.

But not this time. I am stumped. The opening of this I like and it would get the right kind of response from me, but the mid and dry down just leave me disappointed. I am not a fan of it. I don't like the scent of Pistachio, I like to eat them, but the smell...nah

For me the transition from the very clean very juicy and mouth-watering citruses that Hermes seem to capture and utilise. Beautiful. But then along comes the pistachio, drowned in olive oil trampling through this garden with its shit covered boots.

I really don't get the use of the pistachio, it has a weird tangy-musty three day unwashed stank that I cannot get over. I wish I could place this beside the other Hermes fragrances that I like.

I can see why others like this and I don't think they're wrong, its a fragrance that I wished I liked. I don't.
