Hermès Hermessence Vanille Galante

Hermessence Vanille Galante by Hermès is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. Hermessence Vanille Galante was launched in 2009. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Claude Ellena. Created in 2004 by Jean-Claude Ellena, Hermessence is a collection of unique fragrances conceived as olfactory poems using perfuming’s most exclusive elements. As sober and intense as Japanese haiku, they reinvent a nature that is as precious as it is unusual, as if rendered by the inspired writing of a composer in search of the new. Enriched each time the perfumer discovers a new country, a language, a culture or simply extraordinary new ingredients, as of today the line consists of eight fragrances, exclusively available in Hermès stores. Vanille Galante: a sensuous, paradoxical vanilla that murmurs its full depth with unexpected lightness. “Some describe this scent as lazy and monotonous – for others, it constitutes its power – and I felt like responding to that by expressing another dimension of vanilla, light as a breeze, with hints of spice, petals and smoked wood”, notes Jean-Claude Ellena.

Instead of ordering a decant I ordered a legit sample I was able to find on eBay for a decent price. For 2 4ml samples, I felt it was worth spending $27 vs $15 for a 2 ml sample. I also assumed I was going to love this one given the notes, as I’m a lily girl and love my lily with vanilla. I only sprayed it on a shoulder, but it smells so bad! All I get is a banana peel smell, and I hate bananas in general. It’s one of the reasons I steered away of trying the newer Gucci orchard one as I believe banana is listed as a note or part of it but when I tried that in store recently I got no banana, just vanilla and some light floral, way better than this. I only just sprayed 30 mins ago but my goodness I can’t wait to shower and remove it. I get no Lily whatsoever and if there is any vanilla it’s hid by the banana and some ylang which Im slowly discovering is a note I don’t like if it’s prominent in the perfume. Luckily I don’t love it cause I know it would be hard to find online and expensive since it’s discontinued. I also tried a bunch of Hermes frags in store recently and none of them impressed me. I don’t think these are off, the seller had 100% feedback and included another Hermes sample in the package, so I’m pretty sure it’s legit and the frag just isn’t agreeing with me. I really thought out of all the recent samples I ordered lately this would def be top of my list but it’s so not for me, thankfully I did one spritz and it’s a skin scent, already fading a bit. Won’t give up entirely and will try it ...
