While shopping, I found myself helplessly standing in front of the perfume shelf at the drugstore again today. What to do? Hmm... they don't cost much, so I closed my eyes and with my right index finger made increasingly smaller circles towards the colorful bottles until the circle became a point. Eyes open! Aha! Never seen before. Jean &... what...? Garden of zen... Well then. While the spray dries, the little story on the bottle brings a smile to my face: so this is what this scent wants to tell us, oh I see...
I start sniffing! Ah, nice! Spring and sweet citrus flowers. Wait a moment. I know this! It took a while for me to recognize the Hermes scent.
Only when I got home did I read here on this page that I'm not the only one who sees this similarity. I wasn't surprised by the controversial discussion about this similarity (that's always the case...:-)), but I was more surprised that I can't read anything in the fragrance pyramid that corresponds to what I can sniff out, and that after 3 hours I can still press my nose against my forearm but simply perceive nothing anymore.
What a shame, because I actually find the packaging of this brand very appealing and the scent really smells nice like spring... hmm, actually
On my skin, Mr. Li is a bit drier, dustier, and definitely has more jasmine. But I get what you mean; it made me think briefly of Lagune from the Jardin line.
