Eau de Néroli Doré: Starts with a fresh, aromatic neroli. Within minutes, it yields to bitter orange peel blended with that same neroli. As it dries down, the neroli joins the saffron, which really shines in this phase. Projection lasts 2-3 hours, but close to the skin it easily lasts over 6 hours, especially in heat. It’s a simple fragrance that needs nothing more; its evolution improves with time, where the saffron glows alongside the neroli, vaguely reminiscent of Álvarez Gómez’s Concentrated Cologne.

Terrible. It costs as much as a good designer perfume and smells delicious, but it lasts a maximum of 60 minutes. I have to reapply it three times a day. Nothing like Un Jardin Sur Le Nil… A total disaster from Hermès.

Lasts a mere sigh on the skin. Perfect for daily wear. It’s fresh, but the saffron note gives it a semi-warm air in its final, fleeting moments.

I was looking for something fresh and citrusy, but it turns out to be too neutral… not feminine enough for me. I wouldn’t even consider it a bath scent. With a good dose it lasted an hour; close to the skin, barely, about six hours. I wouldn’t recommend it for women (I don’t want to leave a trail). On my skin, it smells like an old wardrobe, of the past. Better suited to a man over 70.

Hermès light waters are the biggest scam in perfumery. Fine, it’s a cologne with lots of alcohol and low concentration, but it doesn’t wash. Ck One, Mugler, Lancaster, or Arden are colognes that last their long hour. When someone buys a Hermès light water, they’re only paying for a pretty bottle for the vanity; selling a ten-minute fragrance is a rip-off. Here, in China, and at Jean-Claude Ellena’s home.

Another Hermès hard to identify by its notes. Neroli is usually heavy, dusty, or soapy; here it smells between lemon and oranges, slightly floral. I think it’s very good, but it sticks terribly to the skin. Note: it lasts about 7 hours, but you have to press your nose against it to smell it. I only tested one spray; these perfumes need to be applied strongly, also on clothes. It’s a pity because it smells good, the bottle has a lovely colour… I don’t know if it takes so much work to make it smell like anything else.
