Ermione

A fresh, sweet, green scent. Like sitting on a sunny patio with a trellis loaded with ivy and jasmine shading you. Clean and slightly soapy. Like tommy_girl I find the bottles for this line to be hideous--the only scent from the lineup I liked enough to want a bottle despite the packaging was Il Piacere, and sadly they've all been discontinued now and are extremely difficult to find (at least in the US). Still, I'll wear my little travel spray of this during the summer.

I happened to see flacons of these new perfumes on counters a lot and decided to try the green one. The result? a very mild airy green aroma that can be worn almost by everybody. I thought I smelt something like pistachio mixed with musk and and fresh wood. To me this perfume has a timid personality, something that is quiet rare in many niche perfumes. It's like having a fresh glass of lemonade in a quiet vineyard in Italy. Still, I should acknowledge that I've smelt better Italian niche perfumes which are not afraid to express something more clearly. Last words on the bottle: Sorry, but I hate it. the shape, the plastic, being available only in 125 ml are all turn offs. The only pro is that my cat could not possibly break this plastic bottle.
