I’m not amazing at recognising notes. In fact I’m quite poor at it. Maybe better than your average muggle but certainly it’s not my super power. I particularly struggle with differentiating herbal notes. So as soon as I smelled this I was pretty pleased with myself as the tarragon note was so obvious. It’s got a herbal greenness to it but also an almost aniseed note. It’s unmistakable. It immediately conjures up memories of cooking with my mum when I was a kid and using tarragon. Of course tarragon isn’t listed. So much for my self congratulation. But whatever. To me this is a citrus and tarragon fragrance. Verging on aniseed. It’s very polite and dries down to a pleasant ambergris and earthy vetiver base. Very very classy as you’d expect from Guerlain. Not beast mode. But ideal summer wears

Simply beautiful. A masterpiece of perfumery which is now still available at an even more extortionate price as Frenchy Lavande (addendum: in the boutique they told me the new version has an added "touche de lavande", but to me it's identical). Worth it? 🤷 I bought a 2/3 full bottle from Etsy, the only cheaper option I could find on the whole internet, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to let go when it's finished. I'd better start saving!
