One of the fragrances that I feel is underappreciated is Apres le Mousson (translation: After the monsoon)( picture the aftermath of a monsoon in India) by Hermes. I purchased this fragrance just a couple of months before I had emergency surgery. When I came home I began my recovery, and it was with this fragrance which had the most calming effect. I have never smelled a more genuine replication of the smell of cantaloupe and the humid, after a rain, type of barage of scents that is so typical of such an event. Apre le Mousson is quite exotic. I know many have not the appreciation that I have for this fragrance and I know that it is not an everyday scent but, I am glad that it is part of my wardrobe. Monsieur Ellena is quite the artist with this fragrance. I welcome your comments.

Kind of fresh, kind of soapy, kind of spicy, kind of minty. Those are all things I enjoy, just not all in the same bottle. I don't hate it, but I don't really enjoy it either. Well worth the low... -
I once heard someone describe this as smelling like you're mowing the lawn and you spilled a little gas from the mower on your clothes, so you get the smell of freshly cut grass and gasoline...
