Fragrance, Hermès' Vanille Galante

The most recent addition to the Hermesessence Collection—which now consists of eight haute scents. It is an elegant, tender and subtle gardenia scent with just a hint of vanilla. Very demure and feminine, cosy and innocent and exotic. It reminds me exactly of the freshly blossoming honeysuckles my grandma used to have growing in her front yard in Ukraine.
