Eden-Roc

Immaculate crisp white linen and a huge-brimmed straw hat, by the sea, maybe near your yacht. Utterly not my world - one night at the famed Hotel Cap du Eden-Roc in Antibes costs what I earn in months , and I'd probably be kicked off its grounds on sight anyway - but this scent can take you there in scent imagination, at least. The gentlest, most outdoorsy and restrained, but recognisable notes of jasmine and coconut do sweep in on a very salty breeze - yet overall there's no mistaking the haute-monde, haute-couture atmosphere here; it is a recognisably Dior grande dame - still a very perfumey perfume, not a photorealistic scent of place. If you insist on organic realness, it may well seem harsh or overly chemical, because that rock-salt mineral aura is so uncompromising and front-and-centre. Yes, overall it still feels grand, formal, dressed-up, rather than relaxing or friendly. Its slightly talcum-y powderiness oddly brings even more old-school etiquette-book glamour. If you want a laidback summer idyll a la Loewe's Paula's Ibiza, no - this has far too much hauteur - maybe even froideur - for that mood. But that stony insistence on being what it is - icily correct, almost intimidating luxury in grand style - also steers it well clear of blundering onto the rocks of oily-sunscreen, or sickening sweetness, which so often ruin a beach-themed scent. Drawbacks: doesn't perform at all in cooler weather, and even on hot days, it doesn't have a huge presence on skin or fabric beyond a half-day at most. (Daahling, it would simply NEVER do anything so vulgar as to linger - and if the price of respraying is a consideration, then as the saying goes : if you need to ASK what it costs, then it's not for you.) But still, completely convincing to me; a fragrance for escapist dreams of joining the 1%. I'm not, and will never be, a plutocrat of the class this is made for - but I really do love this all the same. Well, a cat may look at a king, no?

I know everyones nose is different but the reviews here are as if everyone tried a different fragrance, disappointments, suntan lotion, no coconut, lots of coconut, mineral, no jasmine - I'm extremely positive to this fragrance, this is definitely my summer fragrance of 2021. Opening> sea salt, mineral notes and jasmine (yes i get jasmine in the opening, a lot actually) this combinations makes it smell almost like a seaweed/ambergris note Then> After about an hour i pick up citruses, not just your average bergamot essential oil smell but the freshest most natural smelling juicy citruses you can imaging sprinkled with flakes of seal salt - picture coming up from a dip in the sea and getting served every kind of citrus fruit on a platter, if you know you know. At the end> The coconut makes a promintent appearance, perfectly blended with the citruses and salt as, the dry down is a skin scent, salty, piny (yes thats my new favourite made up word) and labdanum and ofcource ...coconut. So there you have it 1. Jasmine and salt 2 Salt and citrus 3 salt and cocounut, so basically you had a swim in the sea wearing a jasmine fragrance, got up to eat citrus fruit and picked up the sent of someone wearing hawaiian tropic tanning oil nearby...Pure bliss!

This one lasts. This is a high quality performer that I can smell on my wrists 20 hours after applying. First hours yesterday, the scent was charming-succint-elegant, showcasing salty-bright, blue-green aquatic, with a touch of half-sweetened lemon iced white tea. The profile changed little throughout the day, however, I did notice a slight bit of sweetness increasing toward the evening. That would be a white flower sweetness, not a gourmand sweetness. This morning 09:00 Pacific, the skin smell on my wrists, and probably the dab points on my neck, revealed a touch of distant fruit: peach or coconut, with the salt and ocean air still grabbing my olfactory attention. Powder was and still is present in a wide, yet supporting role. I acquired this in December and have not left Northern California since, meaning I’d have to give Eden-Roc a try in the Spring and Summer. I have no doubts about its ability to keep a very attractive, cool performance in warmer weather, where, I believe it will experience a touch of responsible drama from mid-morning to sunset.

I got a sample of this after hearing about it from one of my favorite youtubers, SMLXO! I normally don't gravitate towards fresh, citrusy scents (I usually go for gourmand, vanilla), but this one is just soo good!! I have to say though, I don't believe it's anything super special, it actually reminds me of something from the 90's, but can't figure out what it is. I was hoping to not like this fragrance for that price, but I think I'm going to end up getting the full bottle. I'm hoping to find a dupe, but it's unlikely because I rarely like a fragrance from beginning to end. On me, this scent lasts quite a long time, but it does turn in to a skin scent fairly quickly. I've never been to the south of France, but I have always lived near the beach and this instantly remind me of sunsets by the ocean. The walks I take after dinner with that beautiful color of the sky and that breeze! I live in FL now and have been looking for a fragrance that works with high heat and humidity and I think this is it!

On me, this is basically as the voted notes would suggest. A salty citrus aquatic. It really projects, too. So much so that I'm considering buying it based solely on that (and the scent, of course). The coconut, however, comes across on my skin rather strongly. Not as coconut milk or water, but more the flesh. I'm not sure if calling this "unique" will perplex people, but it's fairly unique to me. Breathes new air into a genre that has long since gone a bit stale (with obvious exceptions). I'm not kidding. If you see "salty aquatic" and feel your eyes rolling back, give this a go. If you don't find yourself moved, you'll at least be able to appreciate how well this is put together. Oh, and it performs brilliantly in cool to warm weather. A single spray on my wrist in 10 degrees celsius and it's projecting strongly 3 hours past applying it.

My whole family and I love it. (Even my most picky scent sensitive family members!) Gentle. Tasteful. Crowd Friendly. An accompaniment fragrance, rather than the fragrance which becomes the loudest at a party. Sea salt, citrus and amber, warm rocks in the sun on a beach, all without seaweed or fishiness. On my skin: applied in a concentrated dot , versus smudged thin over a 5 inch area, are two different experences for me. Both I enjoy. Thin application is powdery on me, like the base formula for incense sticks, with light musk. A single concentrated area applied is an aquatic, gentle citrus musk mix. Greener. (On another family member it becomes sweeter) It is so soft, well balanced, and refined. I just think it is so beautiful. Elegant, classy, inoffensive, relaxing. Sits close to skin, several hours wear.

Eden Roc is clean, sunny, refreshing, jovial and sophisticated. The combination of salt, mineral notes and jasmine smells both intriguing and stunning. The freshness of pine and labdanum lingers on my skin until the end. You can't go wrong with Eden Roc in the spring or summer. I bought a 250 ml (8.5 oz) bottle because I knew I would overspray it, and I'm glad I did because I can't stop reapplying it every few hours. As for longevity and sillage, it becomes a skin scent on me after 3 hours. But it works much better when sprayed on clothes. Then it lasts for over 6 hours with very good projection. Eden Roc is the Riviera in a bottle. It has won me over and it easily became my signature scent for summer 2021.

This fragrance is so nostalgic to me it reminds me of a mountain near a rocky coast of the beautiful sea of my country. It has water, trees, earth, sand, rocks, air and brightness. It's a combination of almost all elements of nature and it's open, clean and fresh with some character to it. I love the kind of fragrance that can transport me to a place and create an image in my head while also being wearable. My only wish was that it was more affordable and lasted longer on my skin. It sits close to the skin and on me it can last up to 4 hours although I have yet to try it during the summer. I would recommend at least a small bottle to those who enjoy picturesque scents or clean and natural fragrances.

Did a review of this on YouTube "Rotten Rebel" and I really enjoy it. That lemon just POPS right at you and that "warm skin in the sun" kinda feeling is right there and it smells GOOD. It's nothing groundbreaking but I do feel that it's unique and I think it's PERFECT for those warm summer days by the beach or the pool and those warm summer evenings by the bar when you are on vacation. Luxurious, well-made and it smells great. The only downside is of course the price, but that's Diors Exclusive line ;)

My ultimate summer holiday fragrance. I always take it with me, whenever i go some place warm & beachy and it never fails. Salty coconut with pine, it is especially perfect now that I’m on Zakynthos near the sea surrounded by pine trees full of cicadas. It projects and last so good, not too strong but definitely noticeable. For me this even surpasses Jill Sanders Sun as the quintessential Mediterranean summer scent.

Oh how I love Eden-Roc! Such a compliment getter! She is not one of those "I have arrived" fragrances...instead, those who sit close to you will comment on how fine you smell! This is a beautifully made perfume - very very classy. I feel confident wearing Eden-roc...you just KNOW you smell incredible. I particularly love the gentle wafts of coconut every now and then...my go to scent for warm summer and autumn days.

It stays on my skin with the smell of refreshing sea salt, minerals and pine tree! I love it at first smell, relaxing yet classy, just imagine I’m sunbathing at Southern France. Btw I asked the Dior BA and he said there’s absolutely no coconut in its note. Edit: bought the 40ml bottle, my new favourite fragrance at the moment! Projection and staying hours are wonderful :)

I’m not the biggest fan of coconut fragrances but, if I had to pick one it’d be this. Eden-Roc has a quite minimalist, clear-blue-sky aesthetic to it. Fresh, salty, and buttery-sweet. I was gonna get rid of this bottle, but I genuinely tried it and felt it’d be perfect for this summer. Not my favorite Dior Privée however, quite nice.

I waited just over thirty years for a fragrance that could finally evoke a memory. "Their voices return like footprints over the salt flats, permanent, impermanent, salt and sensuous as the sea is, in its frame, its myth." Anne Stevenson (January 3, 1933 – September 14, 2020)

I love this perfume! It feels like I'm taking a walk on the beach when I wear it. After a while, the scent of jasmine starts seeping in, and it gets even better. Pity it's so pricey, otherwise, I would have gotten a bottle, rather than keep using the samples.

A bizarre and fascinating take on Summer from Dior. Idk if I'd buy it at the cost for the full size but for smaller size, its worth it. Salty floral ... but unlike Dior and unlike anything else they released. Just lovely. "Fine".

Demachy captured it all. He put the beach at Eden-Roc into a bottle. The salt spray. The pine trees. It’s all there. I love Eden-Roc, and I am so happy that I bought the lotion, too, for the short while Dior sold it.

This is one of THE summer scents. So elegant, beachy, summery, delicate, and really enticing. Definitely draws you in. It’s like a humid summer sea breeze. It’s not really seductive but it is intimate and heavenly.

This is doing more successfully what Ashore by Amouage sets out to do. This one is delicate enough, whereas Ashore is brutal. This also smells similar to Parole d'Eau by Serge Lutens, but is less sweet.
