   |  A meek and timid offering, redolent of long forgotten flower pressings. The insipid and unsatifying citric opening is dispensed with quickly, and the fragrance moves with similar haste through a badly assembled collection of poor quality floral ingredients. One is only thankful that this tedious experience is at least a brief one. This is not awful, just pointless04 July 2009 |
   |  I liked it, but perhaps that's because I have an appreciation of more simple, natural fragrances. It you need a complicated, heavy-breathing scent, this won't be for you. It is crisp, cool. Like someone said before it reminds one of springtime, of fresh little buds poking up through thawing earth. The smell of flower bulbs and damp dirt. My only concern with the three penhaligon's I tried was that they do not have good longevity. They absolutely did not stay on my skin, they were gone in an instant. I have to apply to my clothing and run a little through my hair in order to make it stay with me for a few hours. 26 January 2009 |
  | It reminds me of that fluorescent light of some public bathrooms (the light that shall make it impossible to find ones blood vessels), and it is the only scent that I have got sprayed on that I felt I had to scrub of as soon as possilble. I have onely one word for this: terrible! 26 November 2008 |
 | Ughh! This was far too earthy for my liking. I got more earth and plant roots than the bluebell buds themselves. A cold and sterile scent that I can perfectly do without. 24 November 2008 |

| Lovely, fresh, sweet, crisp, hyacinths in spring. One of the 3 or 4 perfumes I wear when I have a hangover because the general aura of it makes me feel clearer-headed and freshly-showered. 29 September 2008 |
 | The simple, sweet smell of spring. Not just a bluebell, but a glass bell, sounding crisp and pure. This moist, ethereal green floral is linear and uncomplicated, but it always makes me smile. 03 July 2008 |
