Botanical sharpness
Herbes is a beautiful botanical green fragrance. Aromatic and herbaceous, it immediately makes me think of a secret family recipe for a herbal concoction made from all sorts of plants you would find in the Mediterranean countryside.
It has a pleasant and subtle medicinal facet, and an intriguing powdery greenness.
Invigorating and the equivalent of a wellness shot.

Herbs of Mallorca
A herby soul of Mallorca! Just like the typical local drink, one can feel the island and its nature in this perfume. An aromatic mix of different herbs and wood mixes to form a tart, slightly bitter composition. Sandalwood comes through beautifully over time. A very naturally-smelling perfume. Like a walk on the island!

the spirit of the island
No, the Germans' favorite island is not haunted!
I can't judge, I don't know this island.
But according to the text on the sample set insert, the D:SOL MMXVI brand was seduced into composing "Herbes" by a Majorcan liqueur recipe from the 18th century.

A herbal liqueur - yes, that's a good fit: sun-warmed and full of the fruity freshness of lemon and orange! Spicy, tangy and a little prickly, this opening is enhanced by star anise and mint.
I follow my nose here and tend to translate spearmint as peppermint, as is common in English and indicated on the information card.
This is because the somewhat more pointed, narrower and darker leaves with the jagged edges exude a somewhat stronger aroma than the more flattering spearmint.
"Herbes" tastes pretty strong to me; the only thing missing is carbon dioxide for a refreshing summer drink! And to be honest: I would really like a bit more bitterness, a bit of bitter orange or petitgrain! The heart note is also surprisingly different here.
Instead of the expected herbal shrubs such as lavender, rosemary and other macchia plants - rockrose comes to mind! -which smell outrageously strong and spicy as you wander around, two cultivated classic white-flowered fragrance donors appear here: orange blossom and tuberose radiate their fragrant floral beauty and the tartness of the spherical mimosa blossoms enriches this creation!
Not too feminine, not too sweet, but they take some of the peaks out of the fragrance, but also give it its own liveliness.
A creation in fragrance colors of a Mediterranean island!
Different shades of white, yellow and green can already be found in this spicy, herbaceous, fresh concoction.
How will the brown of the soil, where everything is green and blooming, show itself now? In dirty-animalic patchouli?
No, it is a warm, almost cuddly melange of creamy sandalwood, soft musk and silky, shimmering cedarwood; finely dusty rather than earthy and damp.
However, sandalwood contrasts the floral femininity of the heart note with a certain masculinity.
That is quite interesting!
This makes "Herbes" what it is: a surprisingly green, spicy and floral aperitif fragrance that can easily accompany a long summer's day without becoming boring or unpleasantly noticeable.
A sun-soaked, spicy refreshment or simply a time-out on an island in the Mediterranean, with average sillage and a lasting power that could well conjure up a short trip to the south.
Because here too, re-spraying is as easy as booking a flight ticket online.

A short break without packing suitcases and checking in: how pleasant a rainy Sunday morning in January can be!
