FRAGRANCE | Un Jardin En Mediterranee EDT by Hermès: For an uplifting, garden-fresh feel

halfwhiteboy - Hermès Un Jardin En Méditteranée 01

Un Jardin En Méditerranée is the first fragrance from Hermès's green-themed Un Jardin line. The bottles in this collection all come in a characteristic ombre design, with each release assigned a specific color. I'm particularly loving this bluish one for En Méditerranée, which instantly calls to mind just that—the Mediterranean (although I've never been there).

Anyway, some 16 years later and I've finally given it a full wear.

A bright citrus combo accompanies a distinct fig leaf note in the opening, effectively tempering the latter's inherent bitterness. There's some sweetness coming through, which renders the fig's green character moist and perhaps more appealing to more people. By comparison, the opening of Diptyque's Philosykos is really dry, at least on my skin, something that certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea.

The scent soon makes a coniferous turn but with everyone else almost still intact. It's a beautiful green vibe that makes for a perfect summer wear. It's not so much on being a clean type of fresh scent but rather of an uplifting, garden-fresh feel. The fragrance is quite linear in terms of development but that doesn't take away from its beauty. I find that both projection and longevity are generally moderate, and that resprays are almost always necessary to get you through the day.

Un Jardin En Méditerranée is unisex, no doubt, pleasant and inoffensive. I think it's a safe blind buy as well. It's not the cheapest of fragrances but it's surely worth a try.

LOOKBOOK | Barong Tagalog and sneakers for 'Buwan ng Wika'

Image
Looking oh, so dignified here. Although the celebrations are normally concentrated in elementary schools, August is Buwan ng Wika (Language Month) in the Philippines. Along with dressing up in various traditional Filipino costumes, schools usually hold programs and contests showcasing the national language and traditional Filipino songs and dances. Our department decided to join in the fun by designating a special day yesterday where everyone was required to wear a traditional Filipino costume reinterpreted for modern times. Two years ago when we first held this event, I found myself wearing an ethnic-designed shirt with a malong . This year I decided on a Barong Tagalog , considered our national formal wear for men. But no one wants to go all formal on a Friday, so I wore my Barong Tagalog with sneakers . I thought, if a full-on suit works just fine with sneakers, a barong would be just as perfect with this type of footwear.

FRAGRANCE | Green Cedar EDT by Bench: An environmentally-conscious offering from the Philippines' premier retail brand

Image
A few weeks ago, I found myself wandering inside Bench Powerplant Mall. And what else would catch my eye but two fragrances by their lonesome twosome, positioned far away from the rest of the brand's scent offerings. They're Basil & Neroli and Green Cedar , both EDTs and part of the  Bench Better Made line . The frags are purported to be vegan and cruelty-free. They come in 125ml dark brown glass bottles and brown paper cylindrical boxes. Nice packaging there except for the cheap, plastic cap. No big deal, though, since they're just Php 428 apiece.

FRAGRANCE | Rajo Uno EDT by Bench: An inexpensive local gem

Image
Philippine retail giant Bench has been many a high schooler's go-to shop for cheap colognes, myself included. And even during my college years, Bench has remained a staple. I remember  Bench Ei8ht was very popular with many people back then although my favorites were their body sprays Cielo and L'Amoureux . Through the years their roster of fragrances has only grown by leaps and bounds, with a lot of them made in collaboration with celebrities and fashion designers like Rajo Laurel .
