Hawthorn

The hedges retain their feral coloured leaves throughout winter, a favourite of English landscape gardeners, they have a bleak fascination. Only Apres L'Ondee springs to mind as carrying the essence of Hawthorn. Others? Let's explore

I don't really have an idea how Hawthorn smells.

Can anybody explain please?

Apparently Hawthorn makes an appearance in Cuir D'Ange. Oh blast there goes more money

How about Crabtree and Evelyn's Nantucket Briar?

You read my mind! I was just thinking about "Daim Blonde" by Serge Lutens and "Mihime" by Keiko Mecheri and trying to mentally grasp the common note of Hawthorn in both of these so I began to research other fragrances to try in this group and "Beige" by Chanel is recommended.

Agree with Flavorite about Daim blond. And you should try Cuir Cordoba of course

I bought a bottle of Ostara just before it was discontinued. It does have Hawthorn in the accord, but the Narcissus is prominent

Perhaps one of my most favoured trees. I get a really strong impression of Hawthorn from Chanel Beige, the EdT.

Chanel Beige is one that I have only tried in competition with others and it failed to impress me. But I must revisit. All roads lead to Chanel in the end
