Eau de Soleil Blanc

I think I have the EDT, not the EDP, but I'm not seeing the EDT of Eau de Soleil Blanc listed. At any rate, right away I picked up the "baby wipes" accord, probably from the tuberose-camphor-orange blossom notes, which resembles a less intense version of the Carnal Flower opening. I'm getting quite a bit of white florals and not so much coconut. I like Eau de Soleil Blanc a lot, but I'm glad I bought a travel sprayer instead of blind buying a whole bottle, because I don't think this is distinctive enough (relative to other perfumes in my collection--your mileage will vary) to warrant the high price. I really enjoy wearing this, though; my EDT from earlier today had mostly worn off, and this seems like a great choice for a sultry (euphemism for hot and humid af) summer evening. The jasmine and tuberose are by no means indolic, but they're not soapy-fresh either. I'm also picking up more of the pistachio note on the drydown, and it's delightful. I might upgrade this to a love, even though I don't love it enough to purchase a full bottle at the full price. Update: As it dries down, I mostly get the greenish tuberose with jasmine and orange blossom, but my husband mostly smells the vanilla. He gave it the dread "bakery" dismissal. Oh well. I enjoy how intimate this is, sort of airy and evanescent, but with little wafts here and there when I move. It really does remind me of a creamier Do Son or a less flamboyant, softer and more conventionally feminine Carnal Flower. I don't really get much of the much-touted sunscreen vibe, and the coconut is nowhere near as intense as it is in, say, Coco Montaigne or Cocolicious. This really is quite lovely to my nose.

This is a subtle fragrance, but there is more to it than the three notes currently listed in the perfume pyramid. I have both versions of Soleil Blanc and this one is simply a more airy interpretation of the original eau de parfum. The concept remains the same. I can smell the roasted pistachio and piquant cardamom in the opening, the plush tuberose and ylang-ylang in the middle and the fusion of amber, benzoin and coconut milk in the base. If I were going to compare it to something else, I would say it smells the way my English Laundry Tahitian Waters smelled when it was brand new and fresh about five years ago, but without the brown sugar note and just a tad more luxurious. I love it. The Soleil Blanc series is a superb concoction made especially for sun worshipping, beach walking, coastal dwellers like me. I see my life in it. I chose the eau de toilette to accompany me through resort season because its buoyant floral-amber-coconut delivery is a perfect compliment to light weight clothing and warm weather travel. It just works. I have even worn this in direct sunlight and it did not break down or change. That’s always a good sign. If you are looking for a fragrance labyrinth full of secret surprises, this is not the one for you. But Eau de Soleil Blanc is very good at what it does for individuals like me. It’s certainly narcotic. You could also say it’s charismatic without being overly youth-oriented or clubby. Both incarnations of Soleil Blanc indeed evoke warm sand, white sun and bronze skin. All of these things are treasures enough for me. If life is a beach, then this little frosted bottle is an ode to the people of the sun.

The Start of a Private Beach Party... It's easiest to review this by comparison to the original Soleil Blanc. I just have a tester of this and the original, but I've tested them both a few times now. Although it's a lighter, fresher Soleil Blanc, it isn't just a weaker version. Where Soleil Blanc evokes a private Tom Ford beach party full of glamorous people wearing couture swimwear and growing musky under a white-hot sun, Eau de Soleil Blanc is the start of that same party where everyone's at their freshest. All the notes are present, but like Soleil Blanc this is really well blended. There's a prominent neroli that burns off into a cooling tropical vibe in the opening, with a powdery, fluffy & beachy white-floral heart, and a coconut-y & animalic base. Along with being fresher and more neroli forward than the original, this one is less creamy in the heart and less animalic in the base, although I still get a trace of civet (which used to be listed in the original) but it's really well blended. The original Soleil Blanc is more daring, and this has a lovely freshness - I like them both equally - but those sensitive to civettone will probably prefer this one. Performance is moderate, but perfect for spring & summer. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 08/06/24: Sprayed this on my arm this afternoon to compare with the original. The cardamom is a chameleon here in its greener form, adding freshness to the opening. I'm a long time fan of cardamom, but I more easily recognize it in its warm-spicy form. But if you open a bag of whole green cardamom seeds, this is the smell of the green shells more than the inner seeds.

I call this my Best accident EVER .. so actually I didn’t want to buy this one I wanted the white one , which it had the same name, And it looked really similar but it’s just white , this one is more like a see-through glass type of thing .. so0 yeah I accidentally got this one , because I was in a rush I gave them the name I didn’t look Twice paid for it And just took it . and then when I was in the car I smelled it and I was like waAaaaaait that doesn’t smell like the one I smelled it in the shop . and why did they give me the large one I told them I want like the 50 one.. .. I had so many damn questions 😂.. so yeah I would say first impression I was like really pissed so I couldn’t like it and for me it smelled like KFC napkin ... BUT THAN the next day I opened it to smell it again and it gave me ( this expensive vanilla coconut lotion that makes you feel you’re in Bali or something , like in a really rich ass island living your best life having people massage you carry you everywhere type of feeling ) which i LOVE IT ... for me I can smell the coconut and vanilla notes so much on my skin like the citrusy smell just goes away on my skin, so I love it because it gives me the notes that I really want and love .. so yeah best summer fragrance in my opinion of course after Olympia because I don’t think any summer perfume can take Olympia’s place I’m just being faithful .... but it’s my second favorite summer fragrance fo sho totally recommend it .. but don’t blind buy it and don’t judge it by the first opening ... I rate it 9/10 .. love love love it

. Eau de Soleil Blanc Tom Ford This perfume has two dominant and obvious parts. Both of which are smelled at the same time. The first part: citrus, which is fragrant with the smell of white flowers, especially neroli. But the second part is coconut. The successful combination of coconut and citrus in other perfumes such as Virgin Island Water Creed And its successful copy Malibu - Party in the Bay Simone Andreoli I have tested it before and I must say that this combination is really a wonderful combination to balance a citrus fragrance. The mild, greasy and creamy warmth of coconut and the delicious and gourmand feeling of coconut make citrus fragrances sexy. A super fresh and cool fragrance for lovers of coconut and citrus combination. with little sweetness Suitable for hot seasons. Good fragrance quality. unisex Unfortunately, expensive. longevity and sillage is moderate. In the end, I would like to write a line about the pistachio in the perfume, considering that most of the fresh pistachio skin is composed of D-limonene and the pistachio has appeared in this perfume as a citrus finish. And maybe its oily part is also integrated in the fatty part of coconut. It's a very good perfume if it wasn't so expensive. 📲instagram📲 fragrance__reviewer
