Pluie de Soleil

First blast hitting my nose is freesia, strawberry, pineapple. It starts as slightly syrupy but not overly so. Bergamot and musk quickly wander in to anchor the delicious fruity aromas. The lemon is soft and seems to pair with sandalwood. Within minutes the sweetness is fully mellowed by the smoothness of the sandalwood, the bergamot-lemon and piquant musk. Very fresh, clean, uplifting and lightly fruity scent.

Pluie de Soleil is a sunny fruity floral. Lemon and bergamot give Pluie de Soleil a fresh opening followed by delicate hints of freesia, white peach and strawberry. The central fruity floral facet rests on a base of sandalwood, cashmeran and vanilla. With its title translating as 'It’s raining Sun’ Pluie de Soleil is a joyful, vivacious fragrance evocative of a Mediterranean summer.

On the surface, this seems like a simple sweet fruity concoction. But as it dries down, it gets addictive and, while linear, is very enjoyable. It reminds me of Annabel's Birthday Cake without the vanilla. Bright with a familiar childhood element. In this case, its a doll smell. Its much more wearable then the my description relates.

Yes this is a young scent but it is beautiful. It is a happy safe smell like fruity shampoo but not overpowering in the way of artificial. This is a good pick me up perfume for a day when you can’t decide what to wear. Nice summer scent. I blind bought this from Osswald NYC sale and do not regret it.

I love this stuff for those blasting hot Cali days. I get mostly boozy pineapple and strawberries with the musk and sandlewood.
