   |  I love hyacinths. The smell for me perfectly sums up the cold, early days of spring. The hyacinths here go on particularly vivid, but go a little flat almost immediately. Too bad. After that, it's a nice floral scent very competently married to a savory melon (think Parfum de Therese, not Bubble Yum.) I like it, but like many Diptyques, it has no base as far as I can tell. Longevity is decent, but after a few hours the persistance of those floral notes starts to wear on me. They almost seem to wilt. Instead of moving gracefully into a third act (like, say, Chamade, another hyacinth scent) this gets tired and a little shrill. 30 September 2009 |
   | A green floral, smell of hyacinth is very apparent at opening, good longevity, too feminine in my opinion.Smells like a garden but a garden very different to the "Hermes" sort! 04 March 2009 |
 |  I guess I'll have to be the first thumbs down giver on this one. I see this one as surely feminie. Nice but a little too assertive. Tells you the wearer is a serious businesswoman who you don't want to mess around with. I like a perfume to tell me that the wearer is a nice, pleasant, breezy person.28 February 2009 |
  |  This is definitely at it's best on a warmer day and I would describe it as a day-scent. It's wonderfully fresh allthough as said in other reviews: the lilac is prominently there from the beginning. And yes it is a linear scent, but I personally see nothing wrong with that. The fruitiness of the watermelon balances out the fragrance nicely and I too believe that this can be worn by both men and women. Obviously, because I picked up a bottle. 10 February 2009 |
   | It’s beautiful, but I also find it way too feminine for myself. Like many other scents from this house, this smells very well made, very natural and not synthetic in a slightest bit. Very floral scent, obviously. White hyacinths, lilacs and probably a small bouquet of roses sprayed damp with very subtle (not sticky) water melon juice. It has some distant yet rich green woody undertones to finish that very authentic smell of well kept garden. Recommended, but basically only for the ladies. 03 February 2009 |
 | I've got to confess that I love hyacinth, and in this scent the hyacinth is beautiful. Also, I have to say that I don't like melon notes; but in this, the watermelon seems to be there mostly as a "lift" to the hyacinth and lilac. The base notes are woody-oriental, and provide an excellent foil for the florals. A floriental with watermelon... Go figure! I wouldn't have thought I'd like this, but I do. Going on, I thought it a bit feminine, but the green note that haunts the hyacinth and lilac keeps it from going over the edge, and it does mellow out pretty well. In any event, Diptyque sells it as a shared scent, and ultimately, I think they're right about that. 04 July 2008 |
