A fine jasmine

For a while I tried to find a jasmine which is not shouting and loud like the star-made-famous Kai.
Since I was already in love with Grain de soleil, I decided to try the Soleil and it was a nice, very nice jasmine, blooming non-stop, unencumbered by the roses, wisteria, musk ( let me admit that musk is there, just for the foundation)or lily.
It is the dynasty of jasmine.
Like many fragrances by Fargonard, this one has a good lasting power in the eau de parfum version, a soft sillage and it is a well made jasmine scent.

Comet

The notes orbit around flowers. The mixture gives the feeling of tuberose or rather orange blossom, pervasive, striking, creamy. A powder cloud floats in the solar system as detritus of a comet, but metallic notes rather avoid the place.

SOLEIL can be cautiously offered to some gentlemen, too, bearing in mind, that it is rather fitting for metrosexual or let’s say, poetical gents.

The perfume is durable as Fragonard creatures are usually long lasting.

Flowery, spicy wummser with lots of indolence

I bought Soleil in the souk because the fragrance seems to be similar to Sung Eau de Toilette. I really like that one, so I was curious. Apart from that, I have a soft spot for 80s/90s fragrances (due to my age).

After the first spray, the bitter orange blossom, which smells quite indolic in combination with jasmine and freesia, takes your breath away for a moment. But in my opinion, blue rain also joins in. We have a huge wisteria in the courtyard that was in full bloom until recently. So the scent is familiar to me.

At first, I find Soleil inharmonious, sharp, dusty and bitter. Only as the fragrance progresses does it become softer, more floral and rose-soapy. The bitter orange blossom recedes into the background, allowing a beautiful, radiant white lily to emerge. The fragrance also develops a dry, green-brown spiciness which, together with the flowers, is indeed reminiscent of Sung Eau de Toilette. I really like this heart note.

It is very important that you don't put your nose directly on the sprayed area, because then the indolic will overwhelm you, although I actually quite like this dusty-animalic note. The perfume definitely smells more harmonious 10 cm above the skin.

Conclusion: floral, spicy, rather unsweet, indolic. Quite a little stunner that you shouldn't overdose on if you don't want to risk a choking attack.

And then THIS FLACON...! Guys! It couldn't be more typical of the 90s. The chubby sun, reminiscent of a Harlequin cap, with the engraved spiral could be seen everywhere back then, especially on necklaces or on these decorative sticks for the flower bed. I even still have stamps with the symbols - three decades ago they were used to decorate letters and postcards :)

I am delighted with the Soleil. It will take pride of place on my perfume shelf, even though I probably won't wear it often.
