    The medicinal opening was intoxicating and I thought I was in love (I love LV for that apothecary-like hit I get from Sandalo, and, to an extent, Dilmun - it's aromatherapeutic to me). But after...

    At first spritz Yerbamate is overwhelming... almost medicinal. I think it's the mint, lavendar, smokey tea top notes. It's good that I enjoy medicinal scents. Mellows pretty quickly to a warm...

    I got a decant of this from a friend, and because I love tea scents, I expected to love this. Not so much. Per Fragrantica, the official notes are: citruses, tea, mint, tarragon, brazilian...

    I love it! It starts very herbal. The lavender in the top notes reminded me of Jicky for a moment, and then comes the tea and the mate. I also smell other greens and cardamon. After a while...

    Clean slightly tobacco-y dry tea. Goes on sharp at first, but fades fast to a soft and cozy scent without being sweet or warm. It easily could’ve had vanilla in it but it’s so much stronger with...

    The citrus is very promanent at first, but it quickly dries down into a blend of astingent/hay/amber, much too masculine for me. There is definately some tobacco in the background.

    Yerbamate starts terribly green, nearly to the point of an Absinthe poisoning, I was always surprised I’ve enjoyed it so. I detect a fair amount of lavender as well as Artemisia, and again a very...

    I love the opening of this spicy green sexy scent. It smells truly leafy green. On the drydown it reminds me a little of Jade East, which I gave my father every year when I was a kid (maybe not a...

    Complex juxtaposition of opposing notes. A bracing whiff of mint followed by a longer presence of citrus and rosewood, then green notes--all rather harmonious. Then Yerbamate shifts gears into...

    One of the most intriguing fougere scents I have ever encountered. Bold and green, bitter opening like a pipe of mate, but gradually turns into an almost powdery sweet vanilla and amber.

    This is a terrific, aromatic scent that recalls the herbaceous sweetness or AG's Sables (although I do not think these two are similar). It starts off as a bitter, citrusy tea scent with some hay...

    This is quite good. Can you imagine a scent that is green, clean and somewhat sappy, yet it is creamy and a bit sweet? Can you now imagine a late dry down that consists of a little opoponax added...

    This is SUCH a tough one for me to nail down. Chemistry must have a hold here - because unlike the many other reviews - I get no strong tea note, nor hay, nor green. BUT, what is it? This is...

    Yerbamate starts out a little unoriginal -- a crisp, herbal, lemony citrus scent...nice, but nothing new. However, give it an hour or so, and it dries down into the most luscious cuddly opoponax...

    So glad to stop in and find the review by our King of England. Yes, fougere. That's it! and I can't stand a well executed fougere. Please execute me if I have to wear this again. It's that...

    I loved Yerbamate at first sniff; I find it an oddly entrancing scent. I adore the hay and tea notes; I could stand for it to be more green, as on me its powderiness predominates, but I have other...

    First impression was of an old fashioned fougere - of the type used to flavour pipe tobacco and (unfortunately) to scent Harpic toilet cleaner at one time and also the old fashioned toilet soap...

    Started out with a slight tarragon scent which faded into a slight tomato leaf and then into tea. Upon drydown, it is all sun-warmed golden grasses-- hay. This is a scent that just reminds me of...
