by L'Erbolario
Rhubarb by L'Erbolario is a highly naturalistic, green-focused fragrance that evokes the crisp, tart essence of a rhubarb plant—leaves, stems, and all. It opens with a vibrant, citrussy green burst that feels sharp and invigorating, like a splash of cold water, with notes of cardamom and violet leaf adding complexity. The heart reveals a delicate, slightly bitter green rhubarb accord layered over black tea and cedar, creating a fresh, botanical character. The drydown is soft and sheer, with vanilla, amber, and musk forming a faintly sweet, powdery base that feels gentle and unobtrusive. While the scent is praised for its realism, natural character, and suitability for spring and summer, it lingers only for a moderate duration and features intimate sillage—making it ideal for personal wear or refreshment during warm months.
