Thank You so much for letting us know. I just ordered a set. There are a few in the MH range that I am interested in, but I love these discovery sets. I like to sample a who range at a time.

My pleasure Foustie I too placed an order as I have been itching to sample MH for the longest time.

Slowly I am establishing MH as an overlooked gem of a house.

Foustie, go for the gold. Try the exclusives as fast as you can.

I got them this morning! They are dab vials, decent size. I particularly want to try L'Air de Rien for reference because I have "heard" so much about it, and Terre de Bois coz I fancy the sound of it, oh, and Geranium Bourbon, and Feuilles de Tabac. Has anyone else ordered?
post #7 of 23
I once owned Terre de Bois and liked it. But it reminded me of something else (can't remember what) and I eventually fell out of love with it.

Deal looks great - thanks for posting!

Any thoughts?

Terre de Bois - lemony - woody vetiver
I'd easily buy this for a friend because its not prominent in any single note. Its not overwhelming but very high quality and nicely blended.

Fleur de Sels - salty - floral - mossy
This particular perfume has me gobsmacked. Its so complex. So unique. I really does smell salty and floral at the same time.

Geranium Bourbon - geranium with light woodsy touches
This should be a staple in the geranium connoisseur's wardrobe.

Vetiver Borubon - reference Indian Ocean vetiver.
A staple in the vetiver connoisseur's wardrobe. This perfume is a beacon of what Indian Ocean vetiver in high quality and quantities smells like.

Wow! Thanks for the assessments buddy. These are not all in the sample pack though. I'll come back for a chat once I have had the chance to try the ones that they have included.

+1, in complete agreement! not a big fan of terre de bois, but it's a safe choice and very pleasant to wear.

Have to say, out of the 5 I've tested so far, Geranium Bourbon and Feuilles de Tabac really interest me. Their limited edition Le Pamplemousse isn't all that bad as well.

Still working through them but I like the Feuilles de Tabac too. I am soooo surprised by L'Air de Rien. Do you remember Luca Turins description of it as boozy kisses and soiled underwear? And that reputation has built and built. Well I just don't get that. The only drawers that I smell in this are old wooden ones. Wood, cardboard, old paper, a slight tang yes, but of dust maybe, not skank. It's more nice than naughty. I like it more than I thought I would.

I hope that someone disagrees.....

Sadly, I agree. I also thought it'd be skanky. Its not. Its too clean.

I wish scent would chime in, he loves this and has worn t extensively.

I'm afiraid I'll have to agree...I had big expectations from L'Air De Rien. I still kinda like it but not enought to purchase a full bottle.

I need to give it a full wearing but I have hopes since scent praised it dearly.

Me too. I wanted to try this out of curiosity really. If it had lived up to it's reputation I would have been interested from a reference point of view, but I wouldn't have wanted it personally. Now I have no idea where the funky, skanky idea comes from. It seems to be the victim of it's own myths. It is lovely actually. Bit of Dzing going on? But like you, I like it but maybe not enough.....but there is something about it....

I know what. I am going to put the dab sample into an atomiser and have a good wear, then I will see.
