Solenzara

I am surprised the reviews are so so bad, the perfume is wonderful, sweet but decent enough, reminds me so so much of ysl libre. More appropriate for summer or spring though

While I do understand why some reviews are not so excited about it, I’ll defend Solenzara. It is craftsmanship in perfume: solid, maybe a bit mature. A French woman would wear it in the summer but only for the night out, such as a theatre. Has some 80- ties vibe to it. Not every fragrance is for young professional girls who love New York, life doesn’t stop in our forties and fifties 😊.

This is just too complex for its own disadvantage. It’s probably a good scent for a soap, as you get to experience it only briefly. But for a perfume, this does not work. Neroli and lavender are obviously the most basic combination that there is. Adding copious amounts of black currant in it doesn’t improve it, it does rather the opposite - it’s so screechy to my nose, it’s not nice at all. The rest of the notes are in very low concentrations so you don’t get too much of them, but overall it creates a very soapy scent.

An example of the all the parts looking appealing, but not working as a whole. I get a massive public restroom association; think Industrial strength cleaners mixed with generic perfume. A complete disaster...and one I hope to never smell it again.
