Neonatura Souffle

Blind bought this because it was recommended as being similar to Gap Close and I love Gap Close. It comes in a very strange pebble-shaped bottle that kind of looks like a cross between a sex toy and a Glade plugin with a rubbery coating on top of the spraying mechanism. I can see why they would be considered similar as they are both subtle, dry, 'beachy' white floral citrus/ambery vanilla scents that don't smell sweet and don't resemble tanning lotion or sunscreen. I still prefer Close because Close has this very irresistible savory/nutty accord from the almond + salt notes. This leans a little more into the conventional tropical sunscreen territory thanks to the tiare/ylang-ylang, though it definitely does it in a way that is subtle and doesn't feel cloying or gourmand. I think it is a fair comparison because they both have a similar feel -- a very approachable, beachy, jeans and t-shirt smell for someone who doesn't want to smell like they're wearing perfume. Both are a more feminine and beachy take on what Glossier You is for a lot of people right now. I just think Gap Close is still the more interesting one but I could easily use up a full bottle of this because it smells lovely and is very classic and inoffensive. If I can't resell the bottle I blind bought I may very well finish it all up.

This is a whisper of a fragrance - a delicate breath against the skin. Beautiful, but fleeting. Souffle starts with an alcoholic citrus burst & then fades to a creamy, soft, feminine scent...the "ghost of tangerine peels past" hovers in the background...& then, aaaah, I find the soft, creamy ginger that I love in Omnia! The tangerine peel, ginger & ylang-ylang are all dried & muted...so soft they are hardly there at all. No harsh jasmine only a fleeting glimpse of vanilla. It is like a second skin - very natural, not strong or sweet, just slightly sour, light & warm. Oh, if only it was stronger, lasted longer - this beautiful fragrant apparition kisses my skin & then disappears into the ether.

Alright, so I know this one as "Neonature Breath" but hey, it's the same thing. It's very fresh and clean and powdery and I Love It! It makes me want to take my makeup off, put on a pastel colored baby-doll nightgown, and roll around the bed waiting for my bf to come in the room... so whoever said intimate - yes you did get it right, but it doesn't create "I'm gonna jump your bones on these red silky sheets, cuz I'm horny" type of intimacy - it is very subtle and lovely... it's like when he finally enters the room and joins you in bed, kisses you in the neck and tells you how beautiful you are and how much he loves you... - That's it, right there!

Great perfume!!!! I don't think it's citrus at all, or I don't smell it because I hate such aquatic perfumes :D I think it's really warm and woody. Makes you feel very comfortable and feminine. A bit like YR's Vanilla Noir, but a bit lighter and less overwelming.

I love Neonatura Cocoon (cacao notes) so I purchased this version even if the notes were really different. I have been disappointed : it doesn't last, it's spicy and citrus notes are too present to me. I would have liked more ylang-ylang. It's not for me.
