Soleil Désire

The scent of summer, a sophisticated citrus perfume. Not the fruit-isle in the supermarket, but interesting and airy. Will update when I wear it again.

Piacevole, leggera pera e agrumi, ma dura giusto il tempo di contare fino a 10. Nemmeno il fondo regge molto

LPDO Soleil Désir is an alternative to Louis Vuitton's California Dream: it captures its ethereal, citrusy spirit, but with a more accessible touch and a personality all its own. From the opening notes, Soleil Désir enchants with a luminous explosion of fresh, juicy mandarin and bergamot, evoking the exact moment the sun skims the horizon on a summer evening. The heart opens with a floral and musky delicacy, enveloping but never invasive, recalling the rarefied atmosphere of a warm breeze at sunset. There's a subtle, almost dreamy sweetness, reminiscent of the delicate, transparent trail of California Dream, but without copying it in a bland way: Soleil Désir interprets it with freshness. The base notes, musk and light amber, emerge, providing a clean, delicate, yet short-lived trail. It lasts on the skin for approximately 5-6 hours, with a discreet yet present trail, perfect for summer days or for those who prefer a subtle fragrance.

Lemon drops. It smells intensely of lemon drops. Worth a hint of flowers, green wet sappy seaside florals (lily of the valley plus bergamot, probably). Not bad, but that lemoncello or lemon drops sweetness is not for me.
