"Yardley London Hermina is an addictive, intense and feminine floral woody fragrance blending pear, lemon and bergamot with basil in the top notes with a sensual heart of fig, peach, black pepper and heliotrope complemented by a warm, woody and spicy amber base".
Surprisingly it isn't one of those perfumes which makes you wrinkle your nose up when you spray it, instead it is quite clean and fresh with the pear and lemon notes being really noticeable at that first spray and then as it settles on the skin with the scent of fig being equally matched to the spicy amber. It is a perfume which manages to mix the floral and fruity with the spicy so that whichever camp you sit in when it comes to perfume, this one might just surprise you into liking it!
If this sounds like a perfume you really want to try, then I have one to giveaway. There is a Rafflecopter widget below to be completed and the winner will be drawn at the end of the 2 weeks.
I love woody scents and amber especially. Would be interested to test this one out. Nice giveaway. Tx

I like that it combines woody and floral scents and that is definitely a perfume hybrid that subverts my usual perfume which is predominantly fruity.
ReplyDeleteI really think I missed the part of being a girl where you learn what a floral and what a woody perfume smells like as I have NO idea but the packaging of this looks gorgeous. I'm a sucker for a pretty bottle!
