  Pssssssssssssss That’s the summary of this fragrance for me. It’s cataloged as unisex, but it’s no more masculine than Cherry Blossom or Pivoine from the same house. To my nose, it smells totally feminine, although a man could wear it, because I believe the feminine and masculine thing is relative and very subjective. It has nothing new, it’s a mix of Pivoine Flora and L’eau Terre de Lumière from the same house. It’s a pleasant smell, but nothing more. Considering it costs 90€ for 90ml and has very, very low sillage and projection, as is usual with this French house, it seems like a rip-off. It smells very sweet, nothing like a walk in the countryside or grass. It smells a bit like a famous person’s cologne. For that price, there are much better options.

  Disappointment. That sums it all up. I was looking for something away from the sweet pastry scent that dominates perfumery today. Its name ‘Herbae’ sounded almost botanical, herbal, foresty, like a summer day in the countryside. When I asked to try it, the sales associate handed me the cream and then the perfume (a sign of its poor longevity?). The opening is very herbal, almost bitter, like cutting grass in the field, then the blackberry appears adding a sweet touch. The problem is that a very synthetic honey comes in and ruins the herbal effect. There are several issues: the honey, it lacks wood to give depth and harmony, the trail is very poor, and the longevity is worse for the price. What a pity; before, this house had beautiful things, I’ll take care of the Roses and Queens like gold; their new perfumes last like a cologne that costs 10% of these. Time to look and smell elsewhere.

  By the pond, I got caught up in the illusion of listening to the language of plants; I feel metallic in the botanical garden. It smells of plants, grass, nettle… straight to the point. It’s intense with good sillage and longevity. Although not at the start, the dry down reminds me a bit of Nina Ricci’s Bella. Anyway, I might choose the L’Occitane cream version or for a nice bubble bath, as if I were in a green paradise.

  A sample arrived and it confirms what others say: for the price, the longevity is non-existent. It starts bitter and green, then turns sweet and soft, which is what I like most, but after three hours it smells like talcum powder, almost like a cologne. The scent itself isn’t annoying; it’s rich and fresh, nothing heavy. I was surprised it’s unisex; I imagined it as feminine, but tastes are subjective.

  The scent suffocates me, especially that free-floating bergamot. I absolutely love the cream because it smells more floral, but the perfume sticks like a brick and projects way too much. I wouldn’t buy it again.
