Solaris

The first time I smelled this I pictured a solar flare. It's almost electric smelling, if that's possible. I also get an image of hiking in Northern-Norway in the midnight sun, looking out over the ocean. It took me a while to decide I like this fragrance as I'm not usually a citrus fan, but I do like it and I think it's quite unique. Just be careful not to over-spray because the patchouli/peach/black currant will be pungent at first. One spritz will last you a long time and at just the right potency.

Perfect for between Summer and Fall! I adore this one, or perhaps I should say, it adores me.

:))) it's hard to find a good quality air freshner....i love it

Not many people here on the review page are fans. This isn't a full bottle purchase for me but I think it's lovely so feel compelled to offer my differing viewpoint. The perfume opens with fresh, ripe fruit sweetness. I really like the opening notes a lot as they aren't too citrus/sharp, and aren't too sweet. The word 'safe' seems negative, I'd use the word pretty instead. I don't mean that in a gendered way either. It's just a sweet, pretty, and grounded perfume. After the initial sweetness, I get the petigrain, salty sea and ambergris notes but they are a light touch. The sweetness prevails throughout the middle and soften into the dry down. The patchouli appears in the dry down, and isn't dirty, I'm not sure if that is my skin chemistry or the batch as others seem to get a dirty patch. It's very well blended, and I didn't find this to be linear but then again I tend to be heavy-handed with my application so maybe others didn't apply enough of it. The longevity and sillage is medium to light. A great day time fragrance for summer.

Solaris is said to be inspired by the midnight sun of Northern Europe - and since midsummer was only a week ago it seems appropriate to make a review of this! To start of with, I really don't get the profile of this fragrance at all. I would love to see something "Scandinavian Nights" themed composed by notes like linden, honeysuckle, birch, pine, petrichor, elderflower, cloudberries, gooseberries, wild strawberries... the list goes on and on and on. Instead this fragrance is mainly composed by peach and grapefruit. And it's not bad, It's really not. It sparkles through summer weather without giving you a headache or make you nauseous. Opening is a bit bitter but it quickly lands is something more juicy and sweet with decent longevity. Over all it smells alot like peach candy, like sitting on some scorching hot vinyl sundbed and eating some foreign Haribo bag you've never seen before. It smells more like Siesta than Solaris.
