Parole d'Eau

Beautiful. Pine needles and fresh sweet citrus, mixed equally with cold clear water with a touch of salt. Super fresh, light, and restorative. Occasionally it veers toward almost too briny but then reels itself back in. If you could go to the cleanest mountain top lake, surrounded by pines, and sit outside in the breeze there in very early spring, this is what you might smell. Someone said it’s a good hiking scent, I agree. Also good for doing yoga, meditation, going to the beach. Any experience in nature. What I think it would be great for is taking a break from fragrance for a bit. If like me you like to smell them all but get tired of the constant parade of obnoxiously persistent Amber fixatives etc this is like a cold sweet breath of fresh air. I can’t go “naked” without fragrance but this might be the next best thing for a few days. It feels about as light and natural as would be possible in a fragrance.

Got it from Japan and the Serge Lutens SA showed me it layered with some of their fragrances. Love it smells really like water mist in a forest. No fishy or seaweed vibes. Very fresh and green (not the cucumber like, more like pine and grassy). Also love the musk in the base. It’s great for layering with many types of fragrances and wear on its own if you want to just smell clean and clear. It’s simple but unique. It lasts 6-7 hours on its own and last longer to layer. Depends on the fragrance that you’re layering. I also like Dans le bleu qui pétille. It will be on my wish list.

My signature fragrance for warmer months. As soon as the spring begins, I cannot wait to pull it off the shelf. It's airy and light but also well-projecting, eucaliptus-y and bitter, but less like sauna, and more like biting into the stem or a citrus rind. It makes me want to wake up and breathe in with my full chest. If I spray it in the morning, it lingers arond for the better half of the day. As the lover of all notes mentioned, I am glad that I have it, and would repurchase it if necessary. It doesn't bore me and makes me feel good, which is all I want from a fragrance.

Nice light scent. The citrus up top comes off like dried lemon and lime rinds. Pine needles are light. The eucalyptus is mellow. Some marine elements as well. I tested it next to another lemon lime opening scent in pdm sedley. This one is lighter but smells similar in the air in the opening. Up close this one has a much more sultry musky aloe vera marine thing going on. It's hard to notice until compared up close. The Matin line is great so far. I'm gonna get them all.

I get citrusy seaweed. There's that saline fishy funk you smell when strolling along the sea shore, but it's a perfectly natural part of the landscape and completely inoffensive. It smells like the feeling in your body after a good afternoon swim in the sea. I've put it on after a shower and I absolutely feel like I swam in the sea before taking that shower, I almost believe in it. This is a really cool scent! Curious to wear it in summer
