A Confusing, Eventually Leather Perfume
Another beautiful bottle, but what, pray tell, hides inside? Bond no 9 HARRODS FOR HER opens ever so briefly with just a touch of tuberose, which quickly thereafter disappears forever, never to be sniffed again.
What happens next is a somewhat cacophonous unfurling of notes. I smell something very sour, which is probably the chamomile, along with something dirty, which is probably the clary sage (I have essential oils of these and so know what they smell like unadorned), and then, finally, a strong dose of leather emerges and manages to dominate everything else.
The drydown of HARRODS FOR HER is indisputably a leather perfume. And I do mean perfume, for this edp is very longlasting and strong. What it is not, is a floral perfume. I can see where those looking for florals might be disappointed by this composition, and even put off by the sour, dirty, albeit fleeting stage right after the tuberose evaporates. However, I must say that patience pays off in this case, because the drydown constitutes by far the greatest proportion of this fragrance's life, and it is a very nice leather composition indeed, which requires no dilution or admixture of other scents.
I would be surprised if HARRODS FOR HER is selling well, because the opening is so confusing. However, those who bought this one blind for the bottle, and feel therefore compelled to attempt to find some value in its contents, will eventually be rewarded--provided they like leather perfumes!
