Collection Grands Crus : Somei Yoshino
Berdoues (2015)

A sweet, green accord that reminds me of a fruit. A note that borders on floral. It has a juicy, berry quality. Shiso is long-lasting here. When it does begin to fade, the jasmine appears albeit lightly. It's barely there. The patchouli is so diluted it's barely discernable for me. This frag completely fell apart for me. If anything, it remained a "light green", like a color, the whole time.

The opening note does the name of this product justice - a lovely fairly ripe cherry aroma greet me, glowing and warm but still quite bright - very nice in its simplicity. The drydown, equally minimalist, consists of a warm jasmine, which has a slightly green touch. These are the two core notes I am getting, and in their simplicity and non-fussiness they are nonetheless nice - sometimes less is more, especially when, like here, the ingredients are if high quality and well-blended.

The sillage is moderate, the projection good and the longevity six hours: not a spectacular scent but displaying enough nice cherry with good texture: 3/5.
