Secret Hideaway

This is bright, energising, refreshing and simply sunshine in a bottle, the mandarin is so well done in this fragrance, it’s got zing! Which so many fragrances don’t have as the citrus is too heavily blended with vanillas or tonka bean giving the dessert vibe. The citrus note persists slightly into the beautiful dry down, on clothes this is much longer lasting. If you want a zingy, warm weather or holiday fragrance this is a good one ☝️🍊🍋🌴☀️🌅 🐚⛱️👙🧡🫶😎

On my skin it smells like blend of coconut cream and dash of white flowers with creamiest vanilla on top and it works nicely with my body chemistry. Reminds me of late spring/early summer afternoon in the bottle. Very elegant, sophisticated, feminine everyday scent. Sillage and longevity are also very surprising. I must say I really like this one a lot.

I honestly love and enjoy this, it’s a great easy reach when I don’t know what to wear. It feels sunny, summery, slightly sweet, like a more feminine version of soleil blanc. The drydown is beautiful.

I do not know if I needed to let this sit for a few weeks, but I have to change my review. The coconut blossom in here is a creamy, floral coconut (similar to tiare) and blends nicely with the milky sandalwood to provide a lotion feel to the fragrance. the mandarin is juicy and almost possesses the acidity and tang of the actual fruit and on my skin, it borders into photorealistic. Even though it is not listed, there is a scent in this that is intensely honeyed and deeply sweet, but not gourmand, that I believe is due to orange blossom in this fragrance. The sunscreen scent is from the jasmine in here, which is not heady or indolic, but light and airy. And this blends so seamlessly with the amber and vanilla base for a sun kissed and golden scent. It does not smell like a grandma floral, but rather, that it belongs to a different time. Almost like a beautiful woman on the beach in Miami in the 1980s. It is approachable, pretty, intimate, elegant, and likable fragrance. It is non-offensive and I think this is perfectly safe for late spring and summer in the office. I think it would work well for a date night on a hot and sunny day. but also snuggling with your lover after a trip to the beach, after a shower and sleeping with your window open, running errands, or sitting outside of a beachside cafe in the sun. I highly recommend layering this with the warm musk lotion from bath and body works.

First like pina colada, then a creamy skin scent. Leaving only a hint of fragrance on the skin. Its like taking a walk after sunbathing

The drydown is so addictive, but the opening can feel a bit sickly to me

Very strong relation to Terracotta, nostalgic sunscreeny sweet smell but not the gourmand kind, rather gives off ripe white flowers. Like the Yves Rocher Monoi-line of products. Will probably read as "sexy but not trying too hard".

it is indeed very very close to soleil blanc, and it has a decent longevity. The drydown was beautiful, I couldn't stop smelling my wrist.
