Un Deux Trois Soleil

EDIT: I ended up buying a full bottle. Performance from the bottle is outstanding (both projection & longevity) compared to the sample from the discovery set. Lasts all day and gets compliments. I ordered a discovery set from this house, and this is the one I was most excited to try, as I've been looking for an alternative to Luctor et Emergo (which is nearly impossible to get anymore in the USA). This starts out with a dominant almond accord and vanilla. The vanilla does have the slight play-doh effect. I also get some aromachemicals (specifically ambroxan), which generally gives me headaches, but it's not too bad/strong in this one. As it develops I get cherry, fizziness (I think from the grapefruit & ambroxan), tonka, and incense. I find the early stages quite like Rouge Smoking by BDK. As it dries down I do get the resemblance to Luctor et Emergo, but this lacks the unique hay accord that really rounds out that scent and makes it so unique. I tested both fragrances side by side, and they resemble each other but definitely are not dupes. I get more cherry in the Bastille, the Bastille has a warm spiciness that the LEE lacks, and the Bastille has noticeable incense. Additionally, I find the Bastille more synthetic smelling. However, this is the closest thing that I've found to LEE. I'm really disappointed with the performance of this one- it sits very close to the skin and has to be reapplied after a few hours. However, I'm still contemplating getting a bottle and just over-spraying and re-applying.

Je suis amoureuse de cette petite merveille et de cette jolie marque. Une marque responsable qui utilise des produits naturels pour nous offrir des parfums uniques merci! 123 soleil est une magnifique création 🥰 Un parfum régressif aux notes d’amandes et de de vanille maintenu par des notes de caractères poivre rose, encens... Unique en son genre! C’est doux, c’est émouvant tellement c’est beau. Un doudou avec une vrai personnalité et de la tenue. Je l’aime passionnément. Il me transporte et m’apaise. Un bulle d’amour ♥️

I expected this to smell like many other fragrances I have, but was pleasantly surprised. It does not smell like my other similar offerings, except Joy by Sarah Horowitz. This one, however, is powdery where this one is bright. I imagine this is due to the heliotrope and the Incense. I would even say this is better, though they are both nice! Great balance and warmth. I would agree that the almond stands out, but the olfactory orchestra behind it offers the perfect support. Well done!

Sweet, smokey vanilla. Very comforting, especially if you like incense. The opening is a bit sparkling, but I couldn't detect any specific notes - I guess it does tickle your nose with a bit of pepper. Then it goes straight into incense, which I absolutely love - on a bed of heliotrope and vanilla. Reminds me of Memoirs of a Trespasser before they reformulated. It's quite intimate on me, keeps close to the skin and disappears quite quickly (3-4 hours).

Smells like top quality marzipan and spicy peppery vanilla. Pepper disappears to let the tonka shines. It's delicious. You'll smell delicious :) FB worthy for sure. Yes it's another vanilla-almond fragrance but I find this one softer and it's not synthetic at all. Skin scent (like most Bastille fragrances) but lasts a while.
