I received my sample Millesime Imperiale and while I like it more than I remembered it isn't worth a large decant or bottle IMO. I also received samples of Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche, Orange Sanguine by Atelier Cologne, Dior Homme Sport, Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil and Mediterranee, Bergamote 22 by Le Labo and Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire. Blanche lasts a long time on my skin but sadly it doesn't project worth squat. Not only does it not project after an hour it doesn't even leave a scent trail. So, as much as I enjoy the scent it is a definite no-go. Dior Homme Sport is sadly not as good as I remembered. I was really looking at adding this one to my fragrance rotation but it is just too boring IMO. Bergamote 22 is a projection beast for a citrus fragrance. I am not sure how I feel about this one. It is definitely going to require some more sampling. While the two Hermes fragrances definitely are fantastic fragrances I don't think they suit me very well. I get a transparency from them that sounds cliched. There is a watery undertone, not aquatic, watery. I know it has been said about jean Claude Ellena fragrances before but never has it been more accurate then with this line. I din't like Vetiver Extraordinaire, so this mini sample haul just didn't work out. The only fragrance that I am leaning towards picking up is Orange sanguine but I need more sampling. So keep the suggestions coming.
