If I were to get it, I'd go for the full Hermès experience, and walk out with the little orange bag tied with a brown ribbon. <br />Which is probably why I have a drawerful of chic little shopper bags: can't bear to part with them!carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-75305773994852177662010-04-04T05:33:25.230+02:002010-04-04T05:33:25.230+02:00I was really excited by this one and I tried it im...I was really excited by this one and I tried it immediately. It's been only two weeks but I've already gone through two of the samples! I thought it smelled just like another one of the Jardin series (Apres la Mousson with greenery in lieu of the melon perhaps?) and a bit more musk. It's been perfect for the obscenely hot weather Texas has been enduring. JCE has definitely improved his stock with me, seeing as Vanille Galante wasn't my cup of tea. I can't wait for this to hit discounters so I won't feel bad about spending on a full bottle.EricBrandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007191749354029341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-86332105782751787542010-04-01T16:25:00.001+02:002010-04-01T16:25:00.001+02:00Amy, because put together they say something diffe...Amy, because put together they say something different?

There i...As ever, a pitch perfect review, thanks D! There is a sweet SA in the Hermes boutique (across from the Royal Exchange!)who is generous with samples and chat. I've tried this out a couple of times now and will go back and buy a bottle from her (keep the goodwill going!) and look forward to wearing it through late Spring/Summer at the office. I do enjoy the iso e super/Poivre Samarkand aspects particularly and the musk isn't toooo dryer sheet reminiscent. I agree that fans of JCE's catalogue will find something to enjoy here. Great bottle too.

The Jardins series left me cold and a bit sniffly.<br />Having read your review and some of the others, I am beginning to think that this one might appeal to me, especially if it has got the best bits of his other compositions in it. Can't wait to visit an Hermes boutique now to try it.Prince Barryhttp://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/prince.barry?ref=profilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-83063261784846442162010-04-01T14:19:04.590+02:002010-04-01T14:19:04.590+02:00Oh, this *will* drive me crazy.

But I must ask (because it's driving me a bit crazy) -- do you detect a touch of mint in this? Almost like the impression of powdery mint on skin, like when you stick your hand in your pocket and find a stick of mint chewing gum you forgot about.Jarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320628861633769796noreply@blogger.com
