Miller Harris
Terre de Bois
(2000)
Lyn Harris
Green-Woody Oriental

------------------
Notes: Vetiver, Patchouli, Verbena, Galbanum, Juniper, Clary-Sage, Indian Spices, Ambergris
------------------

Fresh and green, this starts off a little rough, but quickly sweetens and develops a green-woody accord that is very pleasant. Basically a skin scent after the first few minutes, it nevertheless has a decent longevity. This is a mellow scent, being warmed by the sweet Indian spices in the base. As soon as these notes appear, it is wonderfully soothing and calming to the spirit. Wear day or night when you seek a warm atmosphere. Quiet and pleasant enough to wear at work.

Retry Hermes Vanille Galante. Why it is in the Hermessence collection? And why could JCE make an awful vanille scent like this?

Today it's Ineke's Derring-Do (when was the last time any of us used THAT expression!) a musky fougere with more than hints of magnolia. I think I've grown up enough now to fully appreciate this lady's fumes - which are unpretentious and natural in the literal sense of the word. Refreshing!!

VC&A Pour Homme.

My love/hate relationship with Pour Homme continues - today I was VERY careful not to over-apply, so I'm running with a nicely subtle spicy floral with a touch of citrus, rather than a savage olfactorily confusing powerhouse which is liable to cause upset.

Wearing the anti-perfume today.

L’Eau de Serge Lutens

Fresh and Clean are the equivalent of Safe and Boring. The department store counters are awash in a tsunami of Fresh and Clean. That is why many colognoisseurs turn to niche where the sensibilities aren’t always tuned to appease the general public. That is why when one of those houses, Serge Lutens, that I reliably turn to for something different announced the 2010 release L’Eau de Serge Lutens as the “anti-perfume” and his take on ironing and clean laundry in fragrance form I was not happy. Then I thought let’s see what someone who I think is very creative does with this theme can M. Lutens make me reassess my feelings towards this trend in fragrance?

The top of L’Eau is an aldehyde and citrus opening which is well-balanced, bright, and shiny. Oh yeah its boring, too. The citrus fades away and a pale mix of light magnolia and sage appears. The base is a sheer white musk so ubiquitous these days in a clean fragrance. This white musk with all of the animalic qualities scrubbed out has its place but at the end of a run of clean and boring it just heaps on more indifference until the only emotion L’Eau evokes is ennui.

L’Eau de Serge Lutens has excellent longevity and modest sillage.

L’Eau de Serge Lutens is the niche version of Febreze. It will make you smell generic and clean but don’t you want more from a fragrance? I know I do.

Have a Wunderbar Wednesday everyone.

I am not overwhelmed with coconut as some of our reviewers have been. Judging by their comments, I am fortunate. Enjoyable enough for this spring day.

SotD: l'Artisan's Havana Vanille(from a tpc decant). So far, this is lovely. Deep, rich, and warm. Initially thought it was going to be too syrupy-sweet, but the initial sweetness has died down significantly. Really enjoying it. Highly recommended for vanilla lovers.

Have a wonderful day all!
