Galop d'Hermes

A moderately powerful Hermes, silage-wise. I'd also say quite sophisticated and feminine - maybe due to a powerful rose and noticeable osmanthus which gives that soapy bright floral (rose) and peachy softness (osmanthus) combined.

The leather is noticeable up front - dry, slightly suedey and very nice, but it does fade a bit into dry down after an hour, lending a softly animalic background. (For more on leather perfumes, you can read my earlier post Here if you like).

Mostly what's wafting up from my arm is rose. The osmanthus and suedey leather give it a ladylike aura, almost vintage in feel, I think.

If you can imagine a more feminised Cuir de Lancome, more powdery and a little more sweet, that's quite close.

To compare to L'Artisan's Dzing! I'd say it's more floral, more classically feminine, probably less sweet.

It speaks of a well groomed woman, I'd probably prefer something a bit more casual, less 'money' in feel, maybe more unusual, but this feels very good quality

Silage and longevity good to moderate.
