Eau d'Hadrien (for women and men)

missk

I do believe that the sales assistant must have been misinformed or confused when she thought I would like Eau D'Hadrien when I had made it quite obvious that I loved my florals and had little tolerance for citrusy fragrances.

When I got home and opened up my 15ml sample of this fragrance, to put it bluntly, I was horrified.

Seeming that every cleaning solution in my house is lemon scented, this fragrance certainly doesn't remind me of happier times. Had I been born a billionairess and had someone else do my household chores perhaps my view of this fragrance would be a little different.

Also having alcohol added as an obvious component to this fragrance, only makes me think of tequila with lemon and salt, usually after five tequila shots too many.

There's no doubt in my mind that Eau D'Hadrien is more expensive and sophisticated smelling than detergent, however that still doesn't make me love it.

To me this isn't a bright, happy and uplifting fragrance, it's more sharp and rigid. Perhaps a fragrance better suited to men rather than women.

With that being said, I will be trying this on my man just to see whether the scent becomes more likable that way.

On a better note, this fragrance lasts well, I guess that's one good aspect. But unfortunately this fragrance fails in my opinion.

Eau d'Hadrien starts with sparkling citruses. These fruits aren't sweet and dissipate quickly. As it dries down, it reminds me of over-ripe pineapple tempered by the dryness of cedar. The cedar becomes dominate to my nose and it remains right through to the end.
Even though it doesn't last too long, it's really refreshing.

It's an herbal lemon tea...but too pine-sol like for me initially. Then it fades into a bittersweet lemonade with a dash of thyme to keep it earthy. For some reason, I get lavander...or maybe it reminds me of lavander because of its bright yet relaxing aroma. I feel that this is more of a sophisticated citrus juice that can't be worn by the younger generation who prefer a sweet juicy citrus nowadays. Not modern...but classic and sophisticated.

Beautiful, simple, refreshing perfume. I think it was the first niche perfume I bought. I guess it doesn't work for everyone, but I think it is just a lovely go-to scent when you feel hot and sticky and want a pick-me-up.

should update this review. Though it still smells like toilet refresher to me, it is kind of proved to be quite addictive scent as well..gees

I rather started to like it's simplicity.
With today's mentality full of detergents and refresheners, and almost every single of them smelling citrus's, I found it to be quite challenging to try citrus scents, even the more complex of them bring back the smell of clean sink or toilet, and Im starting to want some of it on myself as well, ha ha:)

Nice, lemony herbal. Not heavily layered or complex, this is simple and clean-lined.

Eau de Hadrien is one of the(if not THE) most fabulous aromatic citrus scents I've ever owned! Thankfully, it retains its beautifully bitter notes of cypress, lemon and grapefruit from the moment you spray it on until it fades a long time after. It is so crisp, clean, understated and very sophisticated. I Love it!!!

OMG..where should I start..
I tried this fragrance, because I was intersted what sort of perfume could become so popular among such a famous people and some of them with a great sense of style...

It is a merciless smell of sharp citrucy cleaning detergent.

Yup, THIS would kill any germ within half a meter even without touching it.
Someone should be bloody rich indeed, not to know how a toilet detergent smells:-))))))

This would serve perhaps as some explanation for me, why celebrities find it to be even ok...
My husband said he would rather wear La Perla J'Aime than Eau d'Hadrien:)))poor thing, what a dilemma!!:)but no threat here..

This strikes me as a very herbal, natural sort of yogi scent. I like to pair this w/ a lavender scented lotion and I feel at one with the universe. Lemon and woods, very lasting pefume(this is for the female version).

Gorgeous citrus! Fresh yet also dignified.

Sweeter and lighter than Eau du Sud
