My first Hermes perfume! This is a complete departure for me scent-wise, as I always prefer light, fresh, fruity/floral perfumes. Jardin sur la lagune is darker/heavier but I find the scent utterly bewitching. And I don't know if my home store spritzes this in the air but every time I smell it i am reminded of stepping into that store :)

After having used the perfume for a couple of days, though, I gotta say I'm not too impressed by its staying power? I can barely smell it on my skin a mere 2-3 hours after putting it on. Has that been anyone's experience with H perfumes?

It's an Eau de Toilette, isn't it? That explains lack of longevity. To me, none of the Jardins have a good staying power. I do like that though for some situations, like flying.

Hi there! I also love H parfumes. Ive got a few parfumes and colognes(which I usually prefer) to mix and layer or wear on their own and to me they dont have staying power. I was told H scents are “clean” scents. Which seems to be the way most fashion houses are going with their intro into the parfume industry imo(for example LV’s Rose des Vents)
I was “layering” vanilla de galant and santal massouia but of course those are eau de toilette.

Yes it’s known for not having staying power. I’m not sure that this is deliberate.
