Too boring for Olmsted
F.L. Olmsted designed Central Park, the grounds of the Biltmore mansion, the parks of Louisville, the grounds of Stanford University, and so much more. He was a pioneer and an environmentalist. I was so excited to try this fragrance, but it fell far short of expectations. I was expecting green! Foliage. Trees. Grass. Moss. ANY of those elements! It smells very generic, like Chance Eau Tendre, or maybe Eau Vive, or maybe like Gabrielle, or a host of fragrances that are just so full of aromachemicals. Very wrong to use so many synthetics in a fragrance with the name of a man who created exquisite landscapes. I just don't get it. I have tried some of Phlur's other stuff, and this is the most boring one, the safe one that you buy someone knowing that they may not love it, but they probably won't totally hate it either.
