L’Artisan Parfumeur Soleil De Provence Review – Daphne Bugey; 2022

This year’s run of Love At First Scent got off to a sun-seeking start with a review of the new L’Artisan Parfumeur Soleil De Provence, composed by Daphne Bugey. Here’s a link to the video: L’Artisan Parfumeur Soleil De Provence review. As per usual, if you’d like to read some more thoughts on the scent, please keep scrolling.

Sadly, sun seeking doesn’t always result in sun finding. I’m sorry to say that this particular ticket to the south of France finds its destination at less than its sparkling best: the skies are not quite azure, the fields look as though they’ve experienced a fair amount of rain, and the floral essences carried on the breeze are rather muted. Or, to express all this in olfactory terms: the lemon at the top doesn’t possess as much verve as it ought to, the ylang ylang to which it leads is flat, and the mimosa takes rather too long to appear. Still, when the latter does take centre stage, the way it links up with the vanilla in the base manages to convey some sense of relatively balmy temperatures. A redeeming feature of what is otherwise a lacklustre scent vacation.

Persolaise
