Description
Herve Gambs Paris, company known for their beautiful room fragrance, presented their perfume collection Collection Parfums Couture. at TFWA 2013 in Cannes. The new collection includes five fragrances in metal flacons colored in gold: Jardin Prive, Coup de Grace, Hotel Particulier, Rouge Cardinal and Coeur Couronne.
After 25 of work on artistic flower arrangement and luxurious room scents (fragrances and candles), Herve Gambs has boldly stepped into the world of perfumes made from the highest quality ingredients with French perfumers. Perfumers from Grasse Looking helped looking for special raw materials, following “recipes” of traditional French perfumery in order to create the highest quality compositions.
Fragrances come in bottles of 100 ml as pure perfume, intended for men and women.
The fragrance provides a perfect osmosis with the skin and becomes a powerful love potion. Rose and geranium open the composition that lines cuddly notes of vanilla, sandalwood and incense in my heart. Depth and sensuality are enhanced by notes of labdanum and patchouli in the base.

Really impressed!
After reading the description and notes, I didn’t exprct to have such a complex and different fragrance on me. It is everything that the other reviewers say and more. I was worried that it would be too warm or that the vanilla would be too sweet, but instead it is completely balanced and the incense is so refined that it gives a contrast to the seeet and warm notes.
Very sophisticated and elegant and will definitely have it in my roster of fragrances.
Good projection but not great and longevity is great so no issues with that. I’m going to be trying other fragrances from this house.

Everything I’ve tried from this house was nice, quality stuff but feminine. Hotel Particulier is not an exception. Complex, thick, long lasting with moderate projection, uncommon and pleasant scent for daytime and night.
Dominant notes are sandalwood & vanilla with some patchouli, geranium and very mild incense. There is also a milky/slightly watery taste with the woodiness of the sandalwood which I don’t like.

a classy perfume that opens a little bit acidulous with rose and geranium. then it becomes creamy, vanilla and slightly smoky. excellent perfume but not in my ropes. excellent performance. great sandal and excellent vanilla. 7/10

Incense patchouli vanilla blend.
It’s more like a geranium incense with sandalwood vanilla mix and some little bit of patchouli to darken the scene. I kind of sniffed this kind of fragrance before! as it kind of reminds me of “Fêtes Persanes” by MDCI Parfums with that cinnamon and hints of nutmeg! that sweet spices is not new to my nose to be honest! but in here it’s blended more with sandalwood, roses, and overdoses of incense.
Quite an interesting take.

This perfume is an elixir that is revealed little by little… Romantic and enveloping. It transports me into an ancient world,sophisticated and classy. Perfume Unisex Fragrances, strong and huge longevity sillage. I tried other fragrances Herve Gambs, and was surprised by the quality and how each differs from the other… this scent is very evocative and almost dreamy,perhaps more suitable in the cold months of winter. The drydown is the evolution favorite part,very fine! Beautiful.
Sillage: 7.5/10
Longevity: 9.5/10
Scent: 8.5/10
Overall: 8.5./10

I was looking for a fragrance to go with my leather biker jacket. Yes, I sometimes do that – try to find a fragrance which would suit my very particular robe 🙂 Hotel Particulier was one of the two best options (the other one was Herve Gambs Rouge Cardinal). Hotel Particulier is thick, balsamic, spicy, not overwhelmingly sweet fragrance with a nice sillage and a great staying power. It opens beautifully, especially on leather clothes – the most prominent notes become powdery patchouli, incense and a tiny drop of vanilla. Mixed with a scent of natural leather it creates a glamorous aura which people simply cannot pass by! I receive so many compliments when wearing it. It’s a true discovery for me, who loves orientals, balsamic, spicy, gourmand fragrances. Give it a try!
I love Herve Gambs home fragrances and I am really impressed with their whole perfume line.
