14 Juillet

I got this in the discovery set and BY FAR my favourite one. It's simple yet beautiful. At first just get some citrus (not necessarily tangerine) with a punch of gunpowder/firework. It doesn't smell like smoke at all, it just smells exactly like a warm and vanillary gunpowder with a hint of citrus at the top. Throughout the day the gunpowder obviously settles down and it becomes a great pure vanilla, I get a whiff of it every now and then and my god I love it. I strangely believe this would work in spring, but probably just for those colder spring days. Definitely full bottle worthy

just spraying it on a test strip, this is the smokiest vanilla i have ever smelt. the vanilla is thick and creamy, and the tangerine sits just underneath the gunpowder which gives it this odd fruity-sulphuric smell which i love. on the skin its 100x smokier, the smell of it kinda reminds me of how when you light a sparkler, the whole area around you starts to smell like smokey metallic sulphur. once it starts to dry down a little that creamy vanilla comes back around and its sooooo delicious. definitely too heavy for summer even though the smell of reminds me of a summer night

Sniffed this at the store and immediately picked up the whole discovery set. Bastille clearly has a unique and refreshing take on fragrance. 14 Juillet is a wonderful take on a scent that's supposed to smell like fireworks or firecrackers. It adds a peppery zing to the citrus and vanilla that persists with the tonka bean base note. The tangerine in the opening is nice and fresh, but doesn't linger for too long, leaving us with a nice smokiness with hints of vanilla. I like this a lot!

One of my most unique fragrances in my collection. it’s hard to pin down exactly what it reminds me of. I do love the firework smoke too note - to me, it specifically smells like those crackling fireworks that you throw on the ground. It’s warm, inviting and slightly sweet. Very welcoming. It reminds me of home. I only wish longevity was a bit better!

Like remembering summer as one big party. It’s so sweet and smoky, like a trippy haze. The tangerine I think is what really sets this one apart from anything else, because it’s got a nectarine quality, it’s nostalgic and whimsical. And thankfully it lasts so the party keeps going on and the sparks from the fireworks glisten on your cotton candy.
