What wearers say
“Probably the most unisex leaning I’ve tried from this house so far. It’s really pleasant soapy and a well blended green frag. It doesn’t empower but it has a pleasant presence. The longevity is a joke. I’ll probably be looking for dupes or similar frags to this because for how long it lasts and its price point it’s genuinely not there for me.”
“Very overrated. Wouldn't even want a clone of thisOpening smells synthetic, which I think is unacceptable for this price.In the space of something like Xerjoff Neo or Nishane Wulong Cha, but greener, a bit more soapy and cheaper smelling.Poor performance.”
“Herbes Troublantes by Guerlain is a soapy green fragrance. Smells like the original Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo from the ‘70’s. A refreshing summer scent that is unisex. Longevity is limited (2 hours max). Lasts longer if spritzed in hair or clothing.”
