Virgin Island Water by Creed

The initial citrus burst of lime is perfectly balanced with the scent of coconut. With drydown, the lime sadly dissipates much too quickly. The lingering base of tonkin musk/coconut was quite powdery on my wrist. Not unpleasant but not what I was hoping for. Too feminine.
On the upside - Longevity was better than anticipated. Also, not an overly cloying or sweet fragrance.
I won't comment on sillage as I had only applied some to one wrist.
For this price, not a good 'blind buy'.

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès

I sprayed a TdH tester on my wrist this past weekend at Neiman Marcus in Atlanta. While the scent was interesting there was a familiarity that I just couldn't place. The longevity and sillage were both strong. After about an hour, it dawned on me. The fragrance was very similar to ........ pickle juice! But not real pickle juice - more like the 'scratch and sniff' pickle scent I remember as kid (some game I had as a child had a bunch of scratch and sniff dots on it).

This one's not for me.
