    One of my long-term love affairs and pure bliss in a bottle. Jean-Claude Ellena is commonly described as creating haikus with scents, conveying tremendous complexity despite the superficial...

    As the odd male reviewer on MakeupAlley I must say... I love this fragrance! And it is weird because I normally despise vanilla fragrances. They are a throw back to this period in the 90's where...

    Over the last few months I've become interested in sampling fragrances from Houses/companies that I'm not very familiar with. Hermes fragrances are well reviewed on MUA and Fragrantica so I've...

    I am a huge fan of unusual vanillas and a self-confessed Jean-Claude Ellena groupie. But, until the life-changing moment I tried Vanille Galante, “Ellena” and “Vanille” were two words that didn’t...

    This is a poem in a bottle. No, a haiku. Of all perfume I've ever smelled this is the one masterpiece that like all brilliant creations is simple and genius. And yet the simplicity is...

    This is not something for foody, gourmand vanilla lovers. It is a beautiful, elegant, tender and subtle gardenia scent with just a hint of vanilla. Very demure and feminine, cosy and innocent and...

    I tried this perfume in the boutique, spraying it liberally over my hair and jacket. I though it smelled "great," but I did not buy it. I came back to work and hung my jacket in my father's office....

    I've waited a while to review this, wanting to give it a fair chance. My problem is that I think it's a well-done and high quality scent. However, I just don't like it. I love that JCE did a...

    A very interesting fragnance but not my favorite from hermessence line. Smells like salty vanilla if that makes sense. For those who dont like vanilla in fragnance to be very sweet. It is subtle...

    Gorgeous light fragrance with substance. Watery with touches of white florals combined with carmalized burnt banana. Awesome.

    I was initially very excited about trying Hermes Vanille Galante. Then I started to read the reviews and my enthusiasm waned. Aquatic notes? Melon? No Vanilla? I almost opted for a tiny sample...

    I was so excited to try this. How would Jean Claude Ellena make vanilla different, exciting and subtle in a way worthy of the Hermes label? I sort of wish he would have done things differently...

    Neither vanille nor galante. More like a waterlily with sweet watery base.

    I was excited about this fragrance because I love Vanilla. But this is not what I was expecting. It is a nice scent, a lot like UJALM. An Hermes-y floral. I will use my sample but wouldn't...
