L'eau de Hesperides Diptyque for women and men

Lemon-mint cough drops!:D

Lively bitter orange opening with a bunch of mint.Energetic, uplifting mix of citruses dilate the airways.:)Astounding composition. In the heart herbal notes comes, thyme and cedar join to this unique aromas.

The final result:this is a scent with full of life but with measured, discreet individuality.

I love the balance of citrus and mint with spice.
This cologne smells like my rescue agent!

This is a lovely, citrusy-aromatic. I can almost imagine I smell a honey-sugar lemon cough drop or lollipop. A sugary herbal dance of perfection.
Not overwhelming or cloying like some aromatics which could open stuffy nasal passages of a person with a head cold. This fragrance wraps itself around you like a soft cashmere sweater. The rosemary and caraway are used quite artfully not biting and harsh but gently nipping at the edges of the flowers. The drydown makes me think there are more woody notes but perhaps thats what cedar does when it encounters musk.
How interesting that 'fotolux' mentioned "..celery (salt) note.." I get that but it doesn't take anything away from the beautiful smell of this Diptyque gem. I wonder what flower notes are specifically used. I think I detect lilac.

First spray reminded me of Lush's "Big" shampoo. This time, on paper, I smelled Light Blue for women. There's the orange and lemon and something else. What is that? It is definately aromatic, smells outdoorsy, fresh. Nope, that orange. This is nice and worth and sample but it's not for me.

L’Eau des Hesperides opens with a burst of dry orange and as it dries down, herbs enter the scent. With notes of bitter orange, mandarin, lemon, petitgrain, red thyme, rosemary, mint, cedar and white musk. The scent is beautifully made, interesting, and lively, but I wished that the celery (salt) note was toned down significantly.
