Been Trying To Meet You

Been Trying To Meet You is an homage to wildflower meadows and the warm, comforting scent of hay. The brand calls it golden and sun-kissed, a scent to celebrate or recall the warmer months, full of countryside memories: grass heads crushed between the fingers, hay bales, heady blooms and spring flowers in warm ground. The opening sets fresh blossom against dried grasses, with elderflower and two peppers. Immortelle, honey and bran make the heart, dry materials that turn out pillowy and sweet, and the base is hay, ambrette and amyris, smooth and light. Wearers call it the truest hay scent, gentle and nostalgic, with a sweetness that comes through on skin. A few find the blend a heavy blanket with little room to breathe. Wear is moderate: some report a few hours, others a full day, and projection sits close to the skin. It is a daytime scent for spring and autumn first, with winter close behind, and it has drawn compliments at work. The brand sells the 50 ml bottle at 130 pounds, or 149 with its abstract lid. It suits wearers who like hay, honey and herbal sweetness and want something unusual that is still easy to wear.
