Soleil Blanc

I hesitated at the price and would hesitate again, and still I am glad. The drydown is almost a second fragrance: Musk into Benzoin. It has become the scent of specific memories for me.

First wearing, two compliments within the hour. I detect a faint saltiness in the middle that I love. The heart is where I keep returning.

On cold days this is devastatingly good. It has that rare quality of smelling like a decision rather than an accident. Few things I own give me more quiet satisfaction.

Bought this blind and got lucky. Projection is generous for the first hour, then it sits politely on the skin. The blend is seamless; no single note elbows its way forward.
