Eau des Alizés

This is THE quintessential (for the olfactory senses) floral aquatic fragrance there is. This could be a unisex fragrance as well. Salt water is the predominant note from start to finish. The bergamot adds the tea like quality and I can almost smell tobacco on my skin too. It has an astringent quality about it, but it isn't harsh - it adds to the unique experience of this particular fragrance. I can hardly detect any floral notes and there's a small hint of vanilla and musk rounding off this scent. It is very unusual. I'm not sure if it's my chemistry that makes the floral notes disappear as I can smell them when I sniff the air after the initial spray. On me, they're almost completely lost - this is no matter as the fragrance is lovely. The longevity is quite good, about 5-6 hours or so. Picture yourself on a beach, bleached white sand, a crystal clear ocean with a gentle breeze blowing through one's hair. It's a comfortably warm day and the temperature of the water is perfect. You want to remember this day, so you buy this fragrance. This is what this fragrance means to me. It's peaceful, beautiful escapism in a bottle. Encapsulate your memory of the perfect beach with this fragrance. Oh Berdoues, how I LOVE your unique scents!

Soft aquatic floral. A little powdery to my nose too. Rather boring in my opinion, but at least the musk is subdued.

I smell it and I feel like swimming in a blue lagoon. Very feminine and...wet!
