The opening note of green mandarin is faint and short-lived and the scent quickly develops into the most tangy, acidic, juicy, rich and so very red rhubarb.

This is very similar to Eau de Rhubarbe Écarlate but the Prada Infusion is a much better performer. I compared the two side by side, and the rhubarb note in the Hermes one disappears in about 30 min whereas Prada's rhubarb has much better longevity. I can still smell a faint rhubarb after several hours of wear. I mean, this is not the scent profile that you can expect amazing longevity or perfomance from, but this is pretty OK.

It feels quite natural smelling overall. This will be one of the summer staples for me.

The only thing that I am annoyed about is the color added to the juice. I wish brands would color bottles instead of the fragrance itself, which makes it unsprayable on light colored clothes.

A beautiful unisex but masculine leaning scent for greenery lovers. Unfortunately, if you are sensitive to fragrances, beware. Something in this caused a massive headache. I usually get that from ambroxan and iso e super, and I suspect there are some sensitizing aromachemicals in the mix. Otherwise, this is a really refreshing green fragrance.

When most people say they like gourmands, it usually means that they like sweet gourmands. But this perfume is salty and not that sweet. I like creative perfumes, but the saltiness in this is just overpowering. It's interesting, yes, but I just don't want to smell like that nor smell it on others. I would even say it's bordering a repulsive scrubber category. If you like salty perfumes, that might be your thing. Just don't blind buy it.

Bitter. Green. Unique. Somehow it has a noticeable cooling effect. I can imagine it being perfect on a scorching dry hot day in the Mediterranean, just like the name of the perfume suggests referring to the island of Corsica. I have never smelled anything like this before. I think you need to experience and wear this perfume in a particular climate/weather (breezy hot sunny summer day). Although this perfume is about Corsica, it also makes me think of Greek islands.

This works so well in cold and snowy weather. Vanilic, cookie-like, citrus creamy goodness. Cozy and comforting like a cuddle. Sweet, but not overwhelming. At first, it seemed like just another citrusy vanilla perfume, but I like it better than other perfumes of the same profile. Projection is not too strong, but I prefer it that way.
