Floral in the way that a bouquet of flowers can scent a room - not in the sense of sticking your nose into the bouquet. It's not sweet, it's not 'a' flower, but it's floral. The celery scent could have been toned down a little.A couple of hours into it, though, a truly 'floral' note becomes noticeable. This is the predominant note throughout the life of this fragrance. Perhaps celery salt, as there is a note of saltiness to it. But it reappears periodically throughout the life of the fragrance - very lightly and very fleeting.Next, most notable, interesting, and bothersome is celery. It may not be a scent for me, but it is beautiful.L'Eau de Hesperides seems aptly named, as there are three distinct notes to this scent: orange/citrus, celery, and floral notes.The scent bursts out in a wonderful juicy, orange fragrance that quickly disappears.

It will take a second testing to see if this is bottle-worthy. The scent is beautifully made, interesting, and lively. But it seems to be overwhelmed by the celery.The best way of describing this is being a in a field of predominantly Queen Anne's Lace and with patches of wild flowers. It's interesting and is a floral I would love to wear. L'Eau de Hesperides seems aptly named, as there are three distinct notes to this scent: orange/citrus, celery, and floral notes.The scent bursts out in a wonderful juicy, orange fragrance that quickly disappears. Definately worth a try, and I will surely edit once I actually wear it out for a round and can guage experience next to illusion. I could never lend it the credence to make it an everyday scent, but it is fun in its unique dirty/freshness and peculiar approach with herbs. I might not be the best golfer on the course, but damn am I enjoying myself.

I am now on the ninth hole, with a couple of salty cocktails in my belly, splashes of pond water creeping up the hems of my pants, and quite a bit of turf scattered about my arms and chest. As it dries down the dirtiness becomes even more succinct. The opening is extremely citric and clean, but as it wears off there is a dirty edge that is both gorgeous and a bit repulsive at the same time. I can even detect a bit of earth loam seeping up through the bottom. There is a hint of freshly cut grass, a hint of salt, and astrigency that could easily be a metaphor for the acid in tomatoes. a wonderful bloody mary! This could possibly be the closest olfactory equivalent to playing a round of golf with a couple of your closest friends. from beginning to end there is a translucent and fibrous effect that could possibly be the combination of certain herbal traits, but in the end you get a mental picture of. I will whole-heartedly agree with the summation of each of the previous three reviews, but my stance is quite different.
