Terre d'Hermes
Eau Sauvage
YSL Live Jazz


Interesting that you would say Terre d'Hermes for a spring scent. Of course it's not wrong but I just wouldn't consider it for myself - it all depends on what switches the scent flips for the individual.

Roger & Gallet Bois d'Orange has a fresh orange plus petitgrain, which is the green stems of an orange tree. This might be a fresh, but remarkably inexpensive for its quality, cologne for you to investigate.

speaking of CdG, was just at Barneys and got to smell that new one in the warped clear glass bottle, and yes, it did sort of smell like dust on a lighbulb...

Sunday: Lorenzo Villoresi Musk
Monday: Santal Blush
Today: Violet Blonde

@HORNS: TdH has always seemed like a spring scent to me too, but it's definitely not springy in an obvious way. It reminds me of the smell of wet earth that is unique to spring.

Encens et Lavande. I think I may only have enough left for one more day after this one.

I'm too lazy to go look this up... is E&L part of the export line? I have Gris Clair but here good things about E&L so want to give it a sniff...

I don't think so, or at least it wasn't last time I looked. It's not too similar to Gris Clair. e+l is more of a summer scent - herbal and green and dry, not sweet at all. The incense is there but it isn't heavy and smokey.
