When I was new into fragrances, and still pretty shy about anything "strange" in fragrances I still managed to fall in love with both Philosykos and L’Ombre dans l’Eau which earned the "bracingly rebarbative" comment. Some have said that he tries to imitate Turin's style, and that might be a part of it, but I just have the feeling that he can be sort of a flowery guy.Īnd I really agree with Chris' comments above about Diptyque. Frankly I find his writing rebarbative at times (my spell check keeps wanting to change rebarbative to reprobative, which also sort of fits).
Rebarbative \ree-BAR-buh-tiv\, adjective: I tuned in here just after reading his review and I'll admit I had to look up the word: Developed by Diptyque, this fragrance uses a bitter orange foundation supplemented by a lemon accent to create a rich citrus base. It may not be a scent for me, but it is beautiful.Funny that you should post this. First released in 2008, L'eau des Hesperides offers women of all ages a fun yet sophisticated scent that works well in a range of environments.

It's interesting and is a floral I would love to wear. Floral in the way that a bouquet of flowers can scent a room - not in the sense of sticking your nose into the bouquet. It's not sweet, it's not "a" flower, but it's floral. The celery scent could have been toned down a little.A couple of hours into it, though, a truly "floral" note becomes noticeable. This is the predominant note throughout the life of this fragrance. Perhaps celery salt, as there is a note of saltiness to it. But it reappears periodically throughout the life of the fragrance - very lightly and very fleeting.Next, most notable, interesting, and bothersome is celery. L'Eau de Hesperides seems aptly named, as there are three distinct notes to this scent: orange/citrus, celery, and floral notes.The scent bursts out in a wonderful juicy, orange fragrance that quickly disappears. Definately worth a try, and I will surely edit once I actually wear it out for a round and can guage experience next to illusion.

I can even detect a bit of earth loam seeping up through the bottom. There is a hint of freshly cut grass, a hint of salt, and astrigency that could easily be a metaphor for the acid in tomatoes. a wonderful bloody mary! This could possibly be the closest olfactory equivalent to playing a round of golf with a couple of your closest friends. from beginning to end there is a translucent and fibrous effect that could possibly be the combination of certain herbal traits, but in the end you get a mental picture of. I will whole-heartedly agree with the summation of each of the previous three reviews, but my stance is quite different.
