Aube Pashmina Pierre Guillaume 2010

After my three lucky finds from Huitième Art with Naïviris, Sucre d'Ébène, and Vohina, I reach my limits with Aube Pashmina.

I do love herbal scents very much; I have 11 different herbs and tomatoes growing on my balcony. But what Aube Pashmina demands of me, while enticing me with a name like "silken dawn" (my interpretation), is not easy for me to endure.

Yes, it smells very herbal, most intensely from the moment of application for about 30 minutes, until it becomes a bit weaker, but does not change in scent itself. Even if I were to put all 11 herbs from my balcony into a container and blend them with a hand mixer, it would smell 1000 times better than Aube Pashmina.

The scent is simply too artificial to convince me. Although it becomes weaker and slightly soapy after an hour, I still do not like it at that point.

As - unfortunately - is common with scents that one does not like, it also lasts well and has a decent sillage.

This would then probably be the first Huitième Art that I do not like and will definitely not be joining my collection!
