Long Courrier

This is one of my favourite perfumes and I'm on my second bottle because I can't do without it. It sits quite close to the skin, but I quite like that because for me it is the perfect scent to wear under a big, cuddly jumper on a cold and rainy day. To me, the salty and aquatic elements are very obvious, and mixed in with the vanilla and orange oil it creates a perfect comforting scent that gives me memories of warmer climates and exotic beaches. In my opinion this is much more than a generic gourmand perfume and I am surprised that this one doesn't get better reviews because I was in love with it from first sniff. It all depends on skin chemistry I guess!

Alcohol (for the first couple of minutes) ...sweet mint...salty vanilla, with cacao in the back. I know there is no mint listed but i thought I could smell it. Beautiful but EXTREMELY weak! It is so close to the skin, it is unbelievable! It does not project at all. It probably lasts about 3-4 hours and you have to put your nose to it. Great bed time scent, otherwise, on a yatch, in swim wear, and you just spray your whole body as if it were sun protection spray. It is lovely though.

If you love elemi, the exotic coniferous resin from Asia. in Long Corrier elemi is mixed with cocoa, orange, salt and cedarwood creating a fascinating set of free flowing shades of white woods. The perfume is part of the PG’s cruise collection which is about travel to remote exotic destinations and elemi comes from a tree native to Philippines. It's a virtual long courrier flight to the Pacific but real aromas of a faraway resort.

It's a really beautiful, soft, salty, cocoa powder, musky, vanilla that sits very close to the skin. I kind of feel a sense of de ja vu as it reminds me of something else, I just can't quite put my name to right now.

This is a long time love for me. So delicious and joyful. Can bring to mind a great day on a boat with some good friends and a lovely sunset. I REALLY wish this hadn't become so unavailable.
