Latest Reviews of Shermine
I don't usually go in for sheer musks, but this one delighted me and has become my go-to skin scent for winter. Like most in it's class, it's understated and sits quite close, but I love the way the layers develop over the course of the day starting with a lemony pepper over a soft cashmere which evolves into a lavender iris root accord with a subtle weaving of cardamom smoke that finally settles into a soft woody musk with the tiniest touch of cola sweetness. It's gentle, it's soft, but it's also surprisingly interesting. Bought a full bottle.
I wore a sample all day yesterday and I don't even remember it. Maybe some spice, something bitter. A bit masculine. Nothing special.

I liked the opening on this fragrance, with a lemony-vanilla that included hints of spice and lavender. However, after 3-4 hours, the musk and guaiac collide and produce a scream of an odor that renders this unwearable for me. A very soft fragrance that picks up volume as time wears on, I just can't get on board.
