Everything is perfect with this fragrance
Thats right, everything is perfect. One of the best 5 fragrances I have ever smelled.

I love the house of Burberry, and this fragrance is no exception. The bottle is dressed in an iconic Burberry cloth piece, and the price is right, about 50 dollar for 50 ml.

The scent smells the way the way Versace Eros Flame and D&G the one EDT and EDP should have smelled like. This is the perfect winter fragrance. Its hints of orange and pine trees, not dominated by it like Versace and D&G. The fragrance reminds me of my child hood christmas celebrations, cookies, playing with my dogs in the snow and having fun. This fragrance is like a warm cup of tea in front of a fireplace

The projection and longevity is also decent on this one, you need to try it!

This one needs to be discontinued...
A friend of mine had this perfume in the 70s, and recently bought it again, after being without it for decades... We were quite excited to try it, and we gave it 3-4 sprays on the neck, and tested it the whole day.

This fragrance is a beast, it projects really heavy for about 9 hours, and it lasts about 15 hours in total on my skin. That is usually a huge plus for a fragrance, but not for this one..

The sent is very heavy, dense and its all about soap...Very soapy, intense and strong. I was really looking forward to the scent to become weaker, but it was not going to give up that easily.

I give this fragrance big creds for still being manufactured and sold after 50 years after its release, thats pretty incredible. Some of todays fragrances are being launched, then discontinued after 2-3 years in many cases.

The scent reminded me of Chanel no 5, way to heavy and soapy, much like a lot of the fragrances from this period. If it was up to me, this fragrance would be reformulated or discontinued.

The only Hermes Jardin I dont like
I am a huge fan of the Hermes Jardin line, I have most of them in my collection at the moment.

In the beginning I liked this smell, and its projecting and lasting like a beast. Unfortunately I find it way too fruity, intense and i get a little bit nauseous when I smell it too much.

Its a shame, since its an EDT that performs strong like a Parfum.

Ended up selling my bottle after testing it a few weeks.

Sexy and mouth watering
This is all you want from an EDP, and then some.

This smells like a delicious, tasty piece of liquorice. I find this fragrance mouth watering and unique. I want to lick and eat my arm everytime I use this.

Its in my weekly winter rotation, but its a bit heavy to use as a daily signature scent. I wear this scent once a weak every winter, and its always a delight.

if you have bunch of generic fragrances and want something unique, this is it!

Nice projection for 3-4 hours, and the scent sits on the skin for a really long time after the projection is gone, 8 plus hours.

The best of all the BDC fragrances
After returning the EDP version because it didnt project or even register on my skin, I bought the EDT version.

This was the fragrance I was hoping for, this has been one of my favorite summer scent for years. Its perfect from the start, its a fruity, fresh party from the first spray, and it projects really well on me. It loves warm summer days, and I get good projection for 5-6 hours. In the evening, I can still smell it on my arm after a long day.

This is one of those generic in a good way kind of fragrances. Its so good you want to wear it everyday, yet its not too dominating and heavy, that you need to take a break from it. I have never had any negative feedback on this fragrance.
