Unisex? No, at least if you believe my husband and my two sons!
And my brilliant idea, that I can borrow a male additional arm to test even more scents on my skin, was right off the table again!
"White tea is not easy to describe. The start is citric-fresh (and this is the direction in which "The Merchant of Venice" itself has classified it). After the bergamot and citrus start, however, quickly spiced little flowers that float in tea are added.
My nose only smells: kitchen herbs (sage or rosemary or kitchen lavender - something with a good bit of bitterness), white tea, lily of the valley (but rather only because I just tested Hermessence: "Muguet Porcelaine" and still have the scent stored in my nose) and a rose spiced with oud. Sounds unusual, and it is. The fragrance is a bit of a collection of scents, but it is amazingly beautiful and wearable. It does not develop properly, it is too short-lived and ends in a beautiful wood-musk base, in which traces of oud and spicy herbs are still present. The end comes quite fast - but not surprising for an Eau de Cologne - after about 3-4 hours. I spray relaxed. The scent doesn't start to get on my nerves and the harassment of the environment stays within the narrow limits of one's own body. Someone has to come very close to me to get something out of the scent.
But since I have a teeny-weeny, hardly mentionable weakness for tea scents, and I really like this spice-oud-flower-tea combination, I am happy that this spontaneous purchase (together with "Delirious Orange" of the same series) now decorates my very manageable collection as the seventh scent with tea. Maybe my weakness for tea is a little bit bigger than I always thought...
Tip for all who have scents from the "Museum Collection" of "The Merchant of Venice": The fragrances are designed so that you can lay two or even three together - this is also recommended and gladly demonstrated by the extremely nice saleswomen in the shops in Venice, whose patience I certainly strained a lot.
