(untitled) l'eau Maison Margiela 2011

The green thumb has completely passed me by, and I probably won't become a hobby gardener either. But as a "country girl," I enjoy the scent of fresh greenery in spring and early summer. The first lawn mowing, the first flowers, the freshly trimmed hedges, and as a finale, the blooming rapeseed fields... a wonderfully fresh, juicy green scent that I cannot resist.

And what if I have to spend the pleasant sunny spring days at my desk in the city? Then I just bring the green cut to the office! Two spritzes of "(untitled) l'eau," and I am surrounded by a wonderful mix of juicy citrus fruits, subtle wood, and above all, greenery. Somewhere in the small bottle, my mother-in-law's boxwood bushes must be hiding. Galbanum and incense round it all off with a discreet elegance. Mint provides a little extra freshness kick.

This fragrance is an energizer and loves sunshine. It spreads its good mood for a good half day. Nevertheless, I wouldn't call it an all-day scent, as it is quite distinct and has its own character. "(untitled) l'eau" doesn't adapt to the day - it makes the day.

If you're in the mood for it and can embrace it, this fragrance is a wonderful companion through spring and summer. It also gives even hay fever sufferers a bit of unrestrained joy in the scent of the greening nature.
