Bonté's Bloom (2008)
by Honoré de Prés

I only sampled this a few times, and so I didn't analyze the notes, but Bonte's Bloom smells very, very close to how a dry field of grass and sunflowers smells on a dry and hot day. There's even something delightfully discordant in there that makes me think of sun baked skin and sweat, although there isn't anything dirty or animalic going on.

It's a little more mature than Nu Green, and has more bohemian chic to it. I can see this being worn by the kind of person who is free-spirited and concerned about the environment, but doesn't necessarily dress from head to toe in hemp and organic cotton.

This leans more on the feminine side of things, but it's definitely unisex. My second favorite of the line.

8/10
