Vert Soleil

A masterpiece. This is an example of how a fresh elegant uplifting scent should be made. I think Quentin is just stepping up his game.

Omg I loved all 3 in this line.

This is probably the most complex and intriguing fragrance in this collection with the potential to be polarizing as well. It is predominantly green with the mandarin staying strong throughout the fragrance journey. It starts with a rather bitter unripe green citrus coupled with vegetal leaves. This sharp opening slowly juxtaposes with a very sun ripened floral, like blossoms past their prime baking in the hot sun. The mastic adds a somewhat sour balsamic effect that won't be appreciated by everyone. I find that as soon as Im not sure I like it this perfumey floral wafts in and out wooing me back. This is overall a very "garden" style fragrance that smells like the entire bush from dirt to stems, leaves, to flowers with a prominent bitter citrus note. There was so much going on I really had to wear this multiple times to understand it, maybe not my favorite in the collection (definitely not an easy reach) but the most artistic for sure, leans feminine, blind buy not recommended. It may smell like a lush Mediterranean garden but it is a bit cloying in high heat, seems like it would be better suited to spring with its greenness. Definitely reminds you of the olive colored glass the bottle is in.

A delicate green fragrance with floral nuances. Smooth, subtle, and gently enveloping. The first floral accords brought to mind the slightly oily petals of a sunflower, while the juicy green facets evoked the scent of freshly cut young grass. Green mandarin is zesty and fresh. As the fragrance unfolds, it becomes a touch more powdery and softly sweet, while the fresh green character gradually recedes. Longevity on fabric lasts throughout the day, while the sillage is gentler than that of Sous les Pins, remaining more intimate. The flacon, like the entire Mediterranean collection, is a small work of art. A very successful composition—refined, subtle, and beautifully crafted.

It's funny, i get woody notes above all else. Doesn't really strike me as citrus...lucky me, since I'm not a huge fan of those. This is such an uplifting fragrance. Gives a feeling of freshness and freedom.
