Sel d'Azur

I got it, and stored it away, because it was toooo sour for my taste, and I put it up for give-away or sale. After some months, I dared to test it again, and, wow, I was so wrong about it, still it's very sour, but, I can cope with it's sourness, it's kinda Escada-like, and much juicy and fruity. Yes, there is this grapefruit-thing in it, and something else, it very summery, and fresh, and it fades away very quick, so, you can overspray yourself again, over and over, me and my clothes and envaironment smells wonderfulll, I think people will foreget about the one meter rules nowadays, absolutely everybody can use it, for this beauty, in it's class and price, I give it 10/10 pronto. Happy summer!!!

No joke, when I sprayed this on today in my bedroom (door nearly closed btw), 3 times on the inner part of my left forearm, my mom smelt it from the living room. A whole 8 meters away. The projection right when you spray it is insane but the longevity is mediocre. My mom has a bottle so I use it from time to time. I'm a guy btw. So yeah I'd recommend this if you're still in school, maybe like the beginning of the year, spray this before you go in you classroom, everyone will smell it. And I recommend 8-12 sprays just everywhere ig

Bought a 30 ml bottle of this without testing. I was thinking about the time when I can travel to the Mediterranean and enjoy this little freshie in it's natural habitat. It's a lot like Armani Aqua di Gioia in my opinion, maybe a bit softer, not having that sharp mint note in it. I live by the Baltic sea now, literally, watching the sea from my windows..if the summer is going to be warm, I will definitely wear Sel D'Azur also here in my new home. This scent is for those who love the sea breeze.

I just love this! I cannot think of a negative thing to say, it has been my go-to scent for several weeks now. Longevity is not the best, but I really do not mind topping up the sprays one or two times during the day. With citrus-forward fragrances we cannot cheat physics and make the smaller citrus molecules stay just like huge vanilla or patchouli molecules, so all it fair, especially for the price. Female-leaning unisex in my opinion

I tried it and immediately bought 2 bottles of the biggest size. This is the softest and classiest citrus perfume to ever exist. Not screechy like those mandarin and bergamot combo in men sporty perfume. I adore the vetiver which adds just the right amount of green to tame the juiciness of the grapefruit. Wear this almost every day for half a year already and cannot stop loving it!

Me llena de energía, es una fragancia cítrica, se siente el cedro de una forma muy agradable, pero lo que más me atrajo fué ese toque de sal que se percibe de una forma ligera, no lo siento invasivo, me encanta para esos días calurosos o para estar en la playa... realmente lo disfruto creo que lo tengo que tener siempre en mi tocador

This is a summer scent. Salty, mineral, citrus, and fresh. It has an intimate sillage and doesnt last long. But the scent is very forgiving and tropical. More on unisex to masculine. The vetiver brings all the notes together.

Smells nice, very citrusy and fresh. I reminds me of summer in Italy. I tested it in a magazine (old school, you have to rub your wrist against the page haha) and I knew I had to get it.

This scent is perfect for a hot summer. It's fresh, watery, salty and has something special about it - it's not a typical aquatic simple scent.

I love this smell a lot. Its so fresh and reminds me of sipping citrus drink by the Bali beach .

Should anyone ever remember the first ever batches of Calvin Klein's CK One,back in 1995-96..Well.. THIS IS THAT!!! A friend wanted to swap this with me, I didn't know it so went to a local Yves Rocher, found it, sprayed it, and.. BAM! All those memories of my youth came right back! And CK One in 1996 was my first ever bottle of designer perfume I ever bought - and this in Vantaa, Helsinki, from my pocket money - so I know and I remember quite well what I'm talking about! I still have that bottle kept too, would you believe.. 😄 Mind you, I have absolutely no idea what CK One smells like now, if it still exists at all.. But the answer is YES, it is indeed unisex, still in my opinion and on my skin chemistry it's still leaning a teeny-tiny bit towards feminine, it is soft, fresh, citrusy. I wouldn't really call this sea-spray - to me that's Eau de Rochas - but it is definitely more suitable for warmer climate or summery days. Lasts around 5-6 solid hours on my skin so actually in my book it's good performance. A very pleasant surprise!

This is a simplistic fragrance with a crisp, clean masculine citrus blast in the opening after about half an hour the scent develops into this white floral scent into the mid but I didn't see any of those listed in the breakdown while the citrus note took a step back, that's where the scent gets it's unisex characteristic. I personally don't get any salty nuances from the fragrance but I think you will get the cedar and vetiver note once the fragrance dries down. It is safe for me to say that this is an easy scent to use and definitely wouldn't offend the people around you. Good for hotter weather where you just need a fresh scent which has a moderate performance. Overall this is a 5/10 scent. Recommended for days where you just need a simple yet pleasant fragrance. We do need one of those sometimes don't we.

I love this kind of light, salty, slightly unisex citrus fragrance splashes in the summer. It starts with a vibrant, happy grapefruit/citrus note, and it is salty from beginning to end, I don't understand why salt or marine notes are not listed among the notes. Longevity and sillage is weak, but you can of course spray it again and again, it is so refreshing! But I really don't like the bottle design, it looks like some medicine bottle, and I really hate that cheap black plastic cap. For me it is very important to feel joy and excitement when holding a bottle of perfume, and with this bottle I feel the need to clean my windows...meh. Get a new designer! I might buy it once it is really on sale, with full price I find it quite overprices, you can get better quality and nicer bottle for this price!

I have been using this now for the second summer, solidifying my opinon from last year: a simple, linear but really nice summer fragrance! Definitely unisex. It's saltiness gives the marine vibes, nicely complimented with citrus notes but not too lemony and a strong cedar base. It works like a cologne but is definitely better lasting than many other much higher priced fragrances of this category (JM Wood Sage &Sea Salt, I am looking at you!). I like that it is not sweet and not too aquatic, the cedar and salt notes clearly dominate. At this price point it is really unbeatable and a safe blind buy if you are looking for a simple unisex summer cologne. (Not that it matters so much but the black plastic cap is really ugly....)

Edit. I tried it again today with more sunny weather, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than first time. The aquatic note is more tempered in the warmth of May sun, and the whole vibe is now a chilled lemon ice-tea. Perfect for going to the pool. I got this one earlier this year together with few others from the same line, and this one was my least favorite. It was kinda faint aquatic with a Davidoff Cool Water vibe, while I thought it would be more citrusy. I did follow @sistermoon's advice and layered it with a puff of Chloe, to add some rose and flowers, and now it makes sense. The effect is really nice, they both complement each other nicely, but it's not extremely unique, lots of clean-calming-floral's out there.

Light, Fresh, and Perfect for Humid Weather I absolutely love the light and refreshing scent of Sel d’Azur. Living in a tropical, humid area, this fragrance gave me a much-needed fresh and airy feeling without ever feeling heavy or greasy—perfect for warm climates. However, the longevity is not its strong suit. On my skin, it lasts only 2-3 hours, which I believe is due to the nature of its notes. The citrusy opening is bright and uplifting, but the woody undertones don’t seem to anchor the scent for very long. Still, for a light, breezy, and clean fragrance in hot weather, it’s a wonderful pick if you don’t mind reapplying.

I was very surprised by this fragrance when i first discovered it. It's a simple but yet refined scent. A salty fresh marine fragrance with hints of grapefruit and a light vetiver base. The price point is fantastic. For less than 25€/100ml you get a quite unique and high quality fragrance and with a, surprisingly, great longevity on skin. My girlfriend wore a full bottle and every single time she wore it, when she arrive home, i would still smell this fragrance. Never thought it would last but it lasts. So, if you want a salty fresh fragrance, with good performance and a inexpensive price, consider getting this one.

I'm a long-time Yves Rocher fan. I almost ordered this one blindly, but decided to get a sample instead, and I'm glad I tried it first. It's nice, but compared to the YR of old, this is pretty boring. It's a very simple "blue" fragrance. I have smelled drug store body sprays that are on the same level. In fact, this one reminds me of a water lily deodorant spray I owned about fifteen years ago that cost about $3. There's nothing wrong with the fragrance, but I would never buy it at this price. It's nothing special, and I expect far better from Yves Rocher.

Easy and reliable citrus cologne. It can easily pass as a men's cologne a la Mugler cologne, especially in the opening minutes and the vetiver-white musk drydowwn. What sets Sel d'Azur into unisex territory is its florals, namely rose, violet and jasmine, that gives the classic Nivea lotion note lingering all the way. I quite like it, reminds me of 90's floral citrus creations. Oh and whenever you see someone trying to make a point by statements like "at least it's from natural ingredients", please ignore them. Greenwashing shall not win in cosmetics.

Slightly aquatic and rather simplistic, this seems to be the new approach at YR: reduced, quiet, you could also call it "minimalist". In this case we have a grapefruit-note, a faint whiff of salt and a tiny bit of ambroxan in the base. The opening is refreshing (and the best part of the scent), which will probably appeal to many people in summer. I received the bottle as a free gift when I ordered some cosmetics from YR's website. Will make a nice addition to my summer wardrobe, but I don't think I'd repurchase.
