A lovely herbal british spring garden...
This is my first experience from the Union brand and a very pleasant one. As hippie-ish as the title may seem, it's actually a great scent - extremely pleasing, green and bright.
It's herbal, minty and lemony, like a sweet vetiver. The first fragrance I've tried including quince. The juniper note gives off a lovely gin-and-tonic vibe and I see this as a great alternative to Penhaligons Juniper Sling, even if it's only somewhat longer lasting.

Not sure if this is still available, it seems to be a Selfridges exclusive line. Looking forward to trying more titles from this overseen brand.

perfume or marinade?
Quince is a lovely-smelling fruit that we hardly ever see in the US, and I've long wanted to find a quince perfume. (Dr. Hauschka, a German company, has a gorgeous line of quince scented skincare products, but that's it.)

So I was very hopeful when I saw this scent. Unfortunately, whatever quince is in here is overpowered for most of a wearing. At different stages, I've gotten minty-citrus, sage-thyme (savory stuffing), and thyme-lime (marinade). Something quince-ish does come through after 3 hours or so. However, the fact that I have to spend 3 hours thinking of Jamaican rice and beans (cooked in coconut milk and thyme) and a Mexican-inspired tofu dish (marinated in lime juice) takes away the appeal for me.
