Pros & Cons
- ✅ Creamy narcissus. This is fascination, it has that creamy texture of narcissus, galbanum, & cassis.
- ✅ this is all about creamy narcissus and vetiver, with a touch of greeness from galbanum. very classy, mature but never out of style
- ✅ Amazone is a barely-there fresh cologne, green and aromatic with a prominent cassis note. It is very subtle - an olfactory watercolour worthy of Jean-Claude Ellena - but utterly elegant and somewhat restorative.
- ✅ The blackcurrant opening is unmistakable
- ✅ Lasts a full workday without reapplications
- ✅ I'm not crazy about the top notes of this simply because my body seems to project fruits like crazy...but once the top notes fade some it's gorgeous. As Q80 said, it's a creamy narcissus and it's become one of my favorites.
- ❌ Definitely classic and vintage, does not seem to fit the times at all. ... I am rather disappointed. ... The scent feels unoriginal, quite similar to Chanel Cristalle ... It's not sweet at all, and not fruity at all, I definitely can't smell any berries. ... Simple, rigid, strict, antiquated, sober, the antithesis of sexy. ... it smells sad
- ❌ Perfectly pleasant green narcissus with a creamy wood undertone, but it's too weak and fleeting.
- ❌ Classy, earthy, only very slightly, smoothly creamily green not sharp. ... It faded away very quickly though, longevity barely a couple of hours.
- ❌ Some find the narcissus too waxy
- ❌ Can fade faster on dry skin
- ❌ I am rather disappointed. Not with the performance, that is surprisingly good for an edt by Hermes... But the scent feels unoriginal, quite similar to Chanel Cristalle... It's not sweet at all, and not fruity at all... Simple, rigid, strict, antiquated, sober, the antithesis of sexy.
- ❌ Classy, earthy, only very slightly, smoothly creamily green not sharp. Does have an old fashioned vibe... It faded away very quickly though, longevity barely a couple of hours.
