I won’t bore you with yet one more cut-and-paste of the Eau de Polder backstory (click here to find out more), I just wanted to say that #1) it’s a beautiful Dutch-minimalist bottle, and #2) it’s a clean, green and creamy sweet perfume that’s suitable for just about any occasion.
There’s a hint of earth and grass to the way it opens that puts it squarely in the unisex camp, yet the wildflower sweetness at its base is definitely a lady charmer. Allegedly smells just like the air of a Dutch polder in the springtime.
What’s a polder, you say? Funny you should ask: click link for Wikipedia page.
If you want to travel all the way to the Netherlands, you can even get your bottle refilled at the Essencebron (Essence Spring) in the visitors’ center, located next to the Oude Stoomgemaal on the edge of Mastenbroek (I don’t know what any of that means, either, but a map to the location is kindly included among the packaging materials).
Eau de Polder is a concentrated oil, so the small bottle will last you a while. The glass stopper does double-duty as a wand applicator. The whole shebang is such an artsy concept that I’d lay good bets it won’t be available on the international market for more than a few years. If you like it, now’s the time to buy it.
