You need not love vanilla for loving this. It is a nice but nothing really about Vanilla scent. Mild, uncharacteristic, and a bit boring, it could be an adequate spring/summer scent, though. Not...

This fragrance starts out very aquatic, reminiscent of the inside of a bleached white seashell, without any sign of the inhabitants. Sandy, beachy, tropical. Then comes the lilies simmilar to Serge...

Was lucky enough to receive Vanille Galante as a gift, which is great because this latest addition to the Hermessence line is quite a splurge at $235 a bottle. VG on me starts out with a burst of...

Vanille Galante is the latest in the Hermessences series. The name is indeed very misleading as you really have to smell very hard to find any vanilla. The scent is all about lily, but while...

I don't know how Hermes has the audacity to put "vanille" in the title. I am not getting a trace of vanilla (or any other gourmand note for that matter). In the opening, I get a very green floral...
