Azuree Soleil Eau Fraiche Skinscent

I managed to find a full bottle on ebay for $99, and man was i quick to click "buy now". I wanted this perfume when it was released in 2007 but it sold out before i managed to get my hands on a bottle. I never forgot the beautiful bottle and it's lovely juice. Now that I have it, it instantly takes me back to the department store where I first tried it. I rarely find a good coconut scent, to me they are always either too sweet or too synthetic. But this is such a yummy scent! It is so soft and creamy, not at all "in your face" coconutty like some other tropical perfumes. The only downside I guess, is that it lasts about an hour and a half before it's completely gone. I got it for a great price but if i constantly have to reapply, it's just not worth it. Should I find it for the same price again (not likely) I would def. repurchase it. One thing is for sure; the bottle is so pretty I will keep it on my vanity long after it's empty. :) -- UPDATE 2/3-2014 I remember reading a review (somewhere on the internet) where the woman wrote that Azuree Soleil smelled like thai green curry to her. I disregarded it, it sounded too weird. Now that I've had this perfume for a while I can say that I totally agree. No, it's not thai green curry "in your face", and yes, I still love this perfume, BUT.. There is definately lemongrass in the mix, which I find odd because that's something you rarely see unless your cooking with/eating it. And this lemongrass absolutely adds to the thai food feeling. It is quite annoying, actually. However, it's still the best coconut perfume I have come across and no one else has mentioned the "food" smell so I'll continue using it. I'd say when I first got this perume I'd rate the smell 9.5 out of 10 and now I'd give it a straight up 9. So; Smell: 9/10 Projection: 8/10 Lasting power: 4/10

After several years of coveting this scent since I poked around an Ulta and discovered an old tester, it is mine via a kind seller on eBay. While Bronze Goddess, Estee Lauder's replacement for Azuree Soleil, is delectably edible, sexy, and sweet, it's just a mere copy of Tom Ford's more serious creation. AS delivers a soft and wearable gardenia, tempers the citrus and amber and other floral notes with vetiver, and gives the wearer a feeling of sophistication. For me, it conjures a foray to the French Riviera, or shopping the stalls in Tahiti, or meeting a friend on a beach in Miami for a light cocktail and watching the sun set. One spritz is great for daytime or the office. Two makes you ready to go out on the town. It's fairly unique, especially amongst today's department store offerings, and I'd recommend picking up a sample vial online. But watch out, you may find yourself with a craving for a full bottle that only luck can satisfy.

I recently discovered a sample of the Tom Ford Azuree Body Oil in my collection. Oh. My. God. This is such a beautiful tropical scent. It smells like an expensive resort on a beautiful island in the Pacific. I am so gutted it is discontinued and kicking myself for not realizing its beauty sooner... I am hoping Azuree Soleil will hold a candle to it (although this seems to be discontinued too aaaargh), I've just ordered a sample and will update when I try it out. Update: Azuree Soleil is heavenly! Very similar to the TF body oil in that coconut and gardenia are definitely the stars of the show, but AS has a tad more complexity from the florals and amber. I don't detect much citrus, certainly not the amount that Bronze Goddess had. It is reminiscent of sunscreen but in the most elegant way possible. I will be daydreaming of the beach when I wear this one - love!

I admired it at department store when it first came out in 2007 but being a poor uni student I couldn't afford it. I managed to get my hands on a small sample and fell in love with this fragrance even more (I used it mainly during my holiday in Thailand). Couple of years ago straberrynet had it on sale for around $50 so I was beyond excited to get 100 ml bottle. First thing that attracted me to this Tom Ford creation is beaituful blue bottle with gold cap - lux 70's (imagine big hair, bronzed skin and designer bikini). The scent itself is a fresh mix of coconut, white flowers and citrus. The coconut note is very pleasant and subtle (none of that sweet cocnut we are use to in form of lotion or body butter). Overall I can't get anough of it and love wear it in summer. It smells expensive but not suffocating at the same time.

I found one at an outlet store, and instantly I was in love! It's a very pleasant fragrance, but I have a reason not to buy one. The reason is the scent is too light for me. It disappears as soon as I left the store to do some more shopping. For the scent, it was sheer and lightly sweet. I smell a very light white floral accord with a watery aquatic character that won't irritate anyone. Not even me! I actually find it more fruity overall; citrusy like lemonade but not sour or tangy. Coconut (more like a coconut water) and caramel are just smooth & sweet but never be gourmand. I would say it's perfect for vacation! but it's not very convenience due to the bottle is too big to travel with.
