L’eau de l’Hermine

Delicious! This isn't a traditional citrus scent. The open is a hint of chardonnay and grapefruit, but after the drydown, I smell a combination of lavender and ocean breeze. As others have noted, this isn't a strong scent, which I prefer--I don't want people ten feet away able to smell my wrists. Definitely an everyday spring and summer scent.

Soft and gentle. Dried lavender blossoms and neroli. Reminds of a little french boutique that I frequented years ago. This smells like the wonderful french toiletries that filled the shelves. So pretty and very comforting. Excellent for spring and summer. I love wearing it to bed.

Very fresh and summery scent. Opens with lots of citrus, grapefruit and orangeflower are prominent.the drydown is nice, light lavender and a bit musky to. It is not a overpowering scent to wear. But light and fresh perfect on a hot spring or summers day.

I wear L'eau de l'Hermine for several years now, always when I need a soft and unaggressive perfume. It is a clean white musc with strong and pretty notes of neroli/petit grain, grapefruit and lavender- beautifully blended, smelling totally natural. A bit like Serge Lutens Clair de Musc but stronger on the neroli and with a slight gourmande base (the heliotropin I guess). I find all the Lostmarc'h perfumes (those I know at least) are like that- natural, simple but unoffensive and above all, really enjoyable. I have absolutely no detergent- or kindergarden-association with it and even if I normally like my perfume more complicated, I sometimes long for Lostmarc'hs easiness.

A very bright sweet citrus fragrance that also expelled a faint barbie doll plastic scent when settled on my skin. Smells very much like a higher end version of 'Body' by Victoria Secret. Additionally, it sticks like glue onto skin. By that I mean you have to come quite close to smell it. In that way this scent is like a citrus hug (the dry down is quite soft) meant for you and only you. If fragrances were people, this one would be a warm and cheerful friend you invite over when you need a pick-me-up or some general doses of positivity.
