Rhubarb (Rabarbaro)

A very green, crisp, tart and bitter leafy opening a little reminiscent of L'Occitane's long discontinued Notre Flore Cedar scent, which transforms into a woody vanilla base. I am usually torn between fresh, invigorating scents, and vanilla-based comfort scents, so for me Rhubarb has it all. I also really appreciate that I can't smell the sweet vanilla until after the fresh tart rhubarb dissipates, because having two scents in one is preferable. If the vanilla was perceptible from the start, I might find the combination of vanilla and bitter green off-putting but here there is a smooth transition from fresh and natural plants, to a soft and sheer vanilla drydown. I can't get enough of this unique scent. PS- If you are in the U.S. and you want to buy L'erbolario products, they are now officially here! Go to the-herbarium dot com, they are official U.S. L'erbolario retailers! No affiliation, I'm just a L'erbolario super fan giving a shout out. They have brick and mortar stores in Florida and San Diego and their customer service is amazing! I've made many purchases from them and it's always a pleasure. : )

This is one of my favorite spring/summer perfumes ever. I bought it in a small pharmacy in Florence. It is refreshing and blends perfectly with my skin, it is also a perfume that is very subtle but still gets many compliments. It can be combined with several other perfumes, I often combine it with Jardin sur le Nile by Hermes. Overall I would rate it 8/10 because it's a great scent but it doesn't last that long, but I will definitely buy this perfume again!

I absolutely love it! Perfect for spring and summer. Opens very green, sour, fresh. Very rhubarby :) Then musk kicks in, following by violet leaf and cedar and it gets a bit powdery. At drydown rhubarb+citruses join and all together form such a delightful scent. It is a close to skin perfume and longevity isn't the best, which makes me a bit sad. Maybe if you douse in it.

Very good take on fresh green notes. Like the iconic Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, but less generic, with more personality. It ́s sharp, clean, and very invigorating - tough, not for everyone. It ́s like a splash of cold water in the morning: at first it takes you aback and it ́s almost unpleasant, but then you wake up and realize you needed it. Like most green scents, it works well on my skin. Despite the many notes involved the dry-down is pleasant and fresh: nothing reacts weirdly with my chemistry. Lasts quite decently, sillage is very good on me. I used it in a stressful working environment, spatially claustrophobic and saturated with powerful smells. It felt relieving and it didn ́t add up to the olfactory chaos. I bought the small 10ml bottle because I wanted something to store in my handbag (in the morning I ́m always in a hurry and perfume is the easiest thing to forget).

Fresh, green sharp at first spray but soft within 5 minutes. After the initial very "wake up call" you get some lovely green violet (the flower minus the powderiness) and then the powdery sweet part: vanilla, amber and musk. Quite fast in its evolution ( 5 minutes neat and you are in drydown phase), but very pleasant. It's a perfect spring summer scent, modest: sillage barely there, you have to stick your nose to skin to smell it, and very inoffensive, super office friendly. I spray liberally many times a day as longevity is poor. But a lovely, lovely fresh The bath line is also superb for summer refreshment (i use the shower gel & body lotion).
