Ce soir de juillet

While I love all the scent options walking into a perfume store - it’s so much fun! - I didn’t care for this one. It wasn’t feminine or masculine, and it wasn’t appealing to me in any other way. It reminds me of some cleaning product. It’s unfortunate really. I get that there are an endless abundance of possibilities with fragrance some of the androgynous ones miss the mark completely and completely miss the mark, for me.

It’s very warm and delicious scent, and not overwhelming or headache inducing at the same time. The sweetness is there, but not prominent, and natural. Smells similar to vanilla absolute (I had a chance to try this raw ingredient, with some base and little floral. The name suits very well, considering it’s very hot July with some flowers nearby. Maybe even honey on the table in the garden. On me, it seats quite close to skin and stays long, not offensive and easy to wear - and I normally don’t like sweet fragrances. I got a sample, and now considering travel size or full size.
