Her | Her

Okay so when I went to write this review based on my little sample bottle, I hadn't sprayed it in a while and when I smelt the cap it was this yummy, happy floral, almost had me kicking my feet at remembering what it smells like, so this is the lasting scent of it. When I sprayed it to test it again, definitely got that citrus hit with a bit of an earthy bergamot underneath. I can also smell the lemon grass dry down, I think it's quite funky considering it eventually sways to the flowery dry down. I think this is perfect for all seasons, I can equally picture wearing it out to coffee with friends in summer, and a cozy winter date night.

I really love this. It took awhile to grow on me because I love the his/her perfume from this line and I found this a bit too muted in comparison but it has become one of my favourites in summer. It has a slight smokiness to it which might be the vetiver in the top notes, but it's just got this gorgeous, refreshing bergamot punch to it while still being subtle. I keep reaching for this even though the longevity isn't brilliant. It's a perfect summer scent.

This fragrance and Haze are my favourite offerings from Who Is Elijah to date. Her/Her is citrusy, spicy and not too sweet - perfect for warm winter, early spring and late autumn sunny days. It is the closest fragrance I have ever found to a spray body cologne by Trelivings called "Vitamin F", which I absolutely adored in the 1990s. I like to occasionally layer Her/Her with Black Pepper by Korres for some extra peppery zing!

And here I am on the last of the set, which confirms the feeling I've had so far: it's a collection of carbon copies of the trendiest products already on the market. In this case, it's very citrusy (well, à la Hermès), with a great "splash" aspect. Not really deep on the petitgrain/rosemary side, and really light on the orange blossom - but still pretty damn good. With a soft musk-white drydown, it's the perfect combo for an all-purpose fragrance that will sell well. For originality, however, we'll have to pass again.

Like a fresh-pressed juice from a farmers' markets; vegetable-y, spiced, and fresh in a way I like a lot more than Eau by Who is Elijah. Settles into something slightly warmer. Definitely not for everyone, but I think this is quite pleasant fragrance. Reminds me a little bit of those dead wife flashbacks in movies. It would suit a lot of those women.
