Wander Through The Parks

Not groundbreaking necessarily, but nice. Despite being much lighter, this somehow reminds me of my beloved Issey Eau Bleue, if only because both have a kind of bluish-green springtime freshness that I find quite compelling. I think that in this fragrance a lot of the bluish side must be down to the watery aspect of the violet leaf. Not entirely linear. There is some complexity, depth, fullness, and texture here, but most obviously this is fruity green. I get the sense of bitter greenery but I also get a lot of most if not all of the fruits listed, most notably the fig, plus a kind of cosiness from the musk and cashmeran, and the airiness of that violet leaf. There may even be a hint of fruity bubblegum from the tuberose and citrus. It surprises me that some people find this unwearably green and gnarly. I don't think there's anything at all rough or unpleasant about it. Performance is perfectly adequate for the genre, too.

I’d been sitting on a sample of this for awhile, but with the hot summer days we’re currently experiencing I decided to give it a try. I’m really enjoying this, much more than I expected! I even went and ordered a small bottle of this from Miller Harris’ summer sale after wearing it today. It’s crisp, it’s green, it’s slightly sweet fruity. It all blends together so nicely. The only notes I can for sure pick up on are galbanum and fig, though admittedly I’m not sure what nettle is supposed to smell like. This is an enjoyable and refreshing summer scent and I’m here for it!

Green bomb, nettle and fig combine to give that proper tomato plant fragrance that's great for summer. The citrus throughout helps tone it down a little, think wanderlust or the dyptique that I can't think of the right name of at the moment. But ever so slightly toned down and softened. I bought this for way way under the retail from a discounter when I was discontinued, I don't think I'd be as pleased if I'd paid full price for it.

I actually think this might be the perfect wild green scent I’ve been on the hunt for. It’s green without being grassy, well-rounded and -blended without coming across as ‘perfumey’, it’s tangy without being dominated by citrus, and it feels like the scent of a wild secluded corner that you’ve stumbled on in an urban park. I’ve decided nettle should be in everything now. This is great.

This fragrance makes me so happy. It is crisp, bright green with delightful dewy grapefruit and black currant nuances. It evokes joyful memories that don't exist, but come into being because of this scent. Obviously, not the reaction all people can expect to have, but I would recommend it for anyone who loves a bright, well-done green scent with a lot of character.
