Un Jardin sur le Nil by Hermès

Notes

Top notes are Grapefruit, Green Mango, Tomato and Carrot; middle notes are Lotus, Bulrush, Orange, Hiacynth and Peony; base notes are Musk, Iris, Incense, Labdanum and Cinnamon.

Thoughts

I'm not ready to rate this one yet. I've had it a couple years, but I got it from a family member's estate so it has sentimental value. The scent is like her- tasteful, polished. It's an herbal, green scent for spring or summer, but I also like it for family events, things considered.

Vanira Moorea by Berdoues

Notes

orange, vanilla, petitgrain

Thoughts

A light, creamy orange scent with linear development and little projection. I consider this a summer scent because the citrus is more dominant than the vanilla, but it's one of the few that could go either way- summer citrus or winter gourmand. This fragrance was discontinued, but I'll enjoy my sample while I have it.
