Violet leaf heaven to me – unusual. The brand itself seems to produce many scents that smell of offshoots of themselves. Not always a bad thing, unlike the oud scents? This, however, is heavenly! A must try if you can get your hands on a sample. Powdery, violety, beautiful!

Really a flanker between the original “Ombre Mercure” and the “Extreme” version both by Terry de Gunzburg both sadly discontinued.
This one is a worthy substitute for all those who have been orphaned by the discontinued “Ombre Mercure” in 2016, when the maison chanced everything updating the brand in “By Terry” maybe addressing a younger audience.
It’s missing some of the duality the original has: it’s more easy to wear, less heavy/cloying, a lots of flowers are missing (iris, ylang yalang, rose, jasmin) and the patchouli is more calm, less earthy, the sandalwood is softer, it’s greener without being fresh or grassy.
Still presented in a edp intense version but IMHO is not as powerful as the original one, maybe is the lack of evolution, the lack of oppositions that alternated over time on skin (floral / earthy), it is still a good perfume but not a masterpiece, a “like” not a “love”.
If you loved the original “Ombre Mercure” could be as good as a flanker could be.
If you never tried the original but like powdery elegant scent with a solid background this deserve a try, reflects the current taste for simpler/lighter and “neutral / androgynous” fragrances.

“Mercury Drop”: This reads really sexy as an oriental frag. I should hope to try this. Someday!
