I suspect I consume more rhubarb or rhubarb flavoured things than the average person and although I accept this perfume is not necessarily the most accurate representation, is it nice? ...Yes! The opening is a mandarin/red berries even apple like but does contain that raw greeness and sharpness which evokes a rhubarb effect. It's not as authentic smelling as Comme des garçon rhubarb but by the same rule this lasts much longer and has more depth with a clean, floral musky base. This is simply a great fruity fragrance which is a bit lightweight and throwaway, and although I'm a fan of Hermes I've never really considered them the last bastion of quality perfumery so as such this doesn't disappoint. For me it fits into a cats gory of scents I need for my wardrobe, smells that are instantly gratifying and smell of things I enjoy. I bought this on the spot...the performance is average and the price is high for what it is but what can I say? I love it.
The scent itself is 5*. Beautifully fresh and zingy with a little greenery and tangy fruits. The rhubarb note just fizzes from the skin.
I layer this with ADP Arancia La Spugnatura.
I'm sure it would go great with Afternoon Swim and the likes too.
