I got this in a goodiebag I received at work (yeah they’re generous haha) and I don’t consider myself very picky with fragrances but I this one just won’t grow on me. It reminds me of a walk in the forest on a rainy fall day, so if that’s your jam you will LOVE this but for me it’s just too “earthy” if that makes sense.

Creamy narcissus.
This is fascination, it has that creamy texture of narcissus, galbanum, & cassis. It has vintage vetiver with slight cranberries. It is creamy and addictive.
I never thought that Herme does have that superbly interesting fragrances like this one, “Equipage”, & “Brin De Reglisse”. I’m very impressed.

Narcissus, galbanum, vetiver and the dominance of those three on my skin are what reminds me of Estee Lauder Beautiful edp.
This is just a bit more beautiful. Soft, comforting, and some kind of shy sensuality. A more grown scent than EL Beautiful, and with a bit more body and confidence.
I personally don’t get the fruity notes in this. I can’t sort out the cassis either but I guess it’s so well blended it just adds to the composition rather then stand out. Cassis is a note in beautiful aswell.
I really do like this one, timeless and a quite easy wear I’d say. Well done as expected from Ellena.
Nonetheless it is not for me. Too little that stands out.
Drydown just softens the notes and minishes the sillage. Sillage somewhere between weak and moderate. Longevity more impressing: 9hrs on me.

It is obviously a Jean-Claude Ellena retooling of Maurin’s original Amazone (which I adore). The quote from JCE obviously means that he had a hand in its reformulation…if that is indeed the case.
I called the Hermes Parfumerie in NYC and when I asked for samples of Galop, Muguet Porcelaine and Eau de Merveilles BLEU the S.A. said “Um…there is no such perfume.” I mentioned that I saw it on here and she said she would “look into it”. So…either info that is not verified through the company or if it is genuine someone leaked the info BEFORE Hermes announjced the release…
Either way it is great we hear about things first, I would just prefer it be from the company and official. I remember when Sauvage was ready to come out. There was a page and article here that SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED (I know as I went to show it to my mother) and then reappeared after the DIOR official release.
I adore (as I have said) the original and have a decant from a dear friend from Down Under, and also a sample of the Rose Amazone (Les Classiques) and it is amazing…so if it is getting redone at least Jean-Claude is doing it (maybe Christine helped?) and I know that the original is/was available in FB size but no samples were available last I checked…and they are a company that usually keeps all current fragrances in stock (other than the Parfums or Soie de Parfums) that are available-maybe a sign THIS was coming?
*shrugs*
I will be calling the Hermes store back sometime today and will let everyone know what they said. 🙂
smell swell & be well…

What do you mean at Fragrantica when you say that the perfume was composed in 1974 and launched in 2017? And it was never discontinued, as I know.
