      I have only seen one report that I remember and it was not good, but worth a shot!

    I haven’t tried a lot of what she has done for Hermès, but the only thing I’ve kind of liked is Rhubarbe Ecarlate. I’m sure she is a great perfumer but by and large her creations are not to my taste.
    I’m sure I’m in a minority though, which is fortunate for Hermès.

      I liked a couple of the Hermessences. I haven’t liked anything for the main line. I have no idea what their perfume sales are like…

        I haven’t tried any of those, just a Jardin, Twilly, Galop and horror of horrors, Eau de Citron noir.
        I do really like Theorema though and adore Mille et Une Roses.

        Maybe my mind is kind of fixated on Hermès perfume being created by Elléna, who knows.

          Citron noir was particularly hard for me to tolerate. I though Galop was decent, just not something I wanted to own.

          I adore Theorema & Mille et Une.

          I might have the same fixation…I just don’t find her scents that interesting now.
