On a stifling summer day, I grabbed this on my way to work. It's a delicate, incensey, green rose, perfect for when the weather makes most perfumes seem oppressive to me. It has enough complexity to make it interesting and it smells pretty unique. The closest thing that springs to mind is Dioriviera, which is a monstrously strong version of this with lots of fig. I think this perfume may contain stemone, which is what might be reminding me of the Dior.

Wow! Initially a minimal modern art piece with undertones of crude 'Indy' perfume about it but it soon becomes apparent that L'eau d'epine has some get up and go. Really classy touches to it, I'm quite enamored to tell you the truth. I've not sampled Hermes Galop in ages but this kinda puts me in a similar mind space, it's shocking, green rose theme is impactful but conversely, barely in the realms of existence, ethereally transparent as it can appear. The opening has that tidal effect, it sucks back, like you get the lightest top note effect but then it washes back in becoming more potent and present, This usually happens with these resin/incense perfumes when they go down a fresher or greener route and you certainly get green from the galbanum and spikes of chemically clean aldehyde, punching through. The effect of the rose chiming is translucent before finally settling to something resembling a sanitised leather accord. I think it's great.
