Which Should You Buy?
Himalayan Blue is a divisive scent that's either a uniquely tranquil tea experience or a forgettable disappointment. If you're after something genuinely different and enjoy tea-centric fragrances, it's worth a sniff, but bypass if you're chasing the hand cream's magic.
If you're after a juiced-up version of Hermès' Un Jardin en Méditerranée, this is it. While some might find it a bit safe, it delivers a complex, long-lasting citrus hit that's hard to beat and sure to impress.
