Candied citrus and lots of greens
Voile Confit (candied veil) sounds like the short summary of everything I want from a perfume, as I love gourmands, but also fluffy and airy scents. Unfortunately, this is not really what I imagine when I think of a veil of sweetness around me.

The scent starts citrusy, green and fresh, almost a little masculine leaning like an old-fashioned pine cologne. It's also quite sweet, but more in a powdered sugar way than caramel and vanilla. I can single out the zingy, bittersweet notes of ginger and blood orange, which is nice. But the overall composition seems chaotic to me.

Over the time the scent changes significantly. Ambery notes come out in the drydown. I can smell patchouli and the coniferous balsam fir, but also something resinous beyond that.
The floral notes of the heart are absent to my nose all the time.
Only the final remains of the scent on my sweater the next day come closer to my expectations. They have a creamy, sweet and fresh scent of sugared citruses with hints of vanilla and musk. Not impressive enough to wait that long though.

The green bottle color is quite fitting for this, it evokes shades of green and a cool lemony yellow.
I don't hate this, but I find it a little abrasive and unbalanced. Even though it has its moments, it's clearly not for me.

Still Life in Milano
"Voile Confit" belongs to the rare category of summer gourmands, a treat for warm days. Somewhere between cocktail and praline, everyone loves it with just a hint of sweet nose. As a fragrance twin of "Still Life in Rio," it will surely find friends, but I like it very much. Maybe a bit too sweet, as if almonds were soaked in a Caipi, but I’m not quite out of the age of beach parties and bikini beauties yet...

"Voile Confit" is an almond lemon cake. Quite simple, quite delicious. Easy to wear, a scent for both beach and active vacations. Of course, if possible, near the Caribbean. Refreshing yet calorie-rich. As if you were sprinkling almonds on a Capri ice. Invigorating, powerful, minimally annoying (if overdosed). Like an ice-cold Amaretto. It doesn’t quite reach the excellent Olfactive Studio scent, but it’s a close race. This one is heavier and sweeter, not quite as zesty and sparkling.

Bottle: a corner ball
Sillage & longevity: not as aggressive as one might think for the target group and also "only" 6 hours.

Conclusion: like a lemon sorbet after vanilla ice cream after an almond cake - I call that a calorie party on the beach of Costa Rica!

Candied Veil
... this is how I would translate Voile Confit - a truly zesty summer fragrance with fruity-floral and gourmand facets.

But let's take it step by step. The beginning is bursting with vibrant freshness and fruitiness, a statement leaning towards citrusy-green and slightly sour. Then, the almond blossom sneaks in from behind, giving Voile Confit a nice touch of marzipan without going overboard. At times, the almond notes shift with timid woodruff hints, wherever those may come from.

In the not-so-distant progression, vanilla makes its presence known, seeming to push itself more or less beneath the previously mentioned components and initially running parallel for a decent amount of time before settling completely into a soft-sweet base.

It’s no coincidence that Voile Confit reminds me of Yerbamate by Lorenzo Villoresi, just without that questionable hay note, significantly more lasting, and, in my opinion, much more successful.

This brings us closer to the aforementioned Grünofant ice cream from the 70s, even if one might wish for more woodruff, which is absolutely fine in this formulation.

Thus, Voile Confit unveils a truly summery veil that is not everyday but significantly enhances the everyday.

Feeling like summer? Homemade lemonade with mint + ginger. Plus gentle blooms with an almond-vanilla veil. A light delight!

I've found my summer gourmand. Sugary, sweet citrus with just the right hint of vanilla and caramel. So delicious!

I smell a certain apple zest, a lot of ginger and peppermint tea! Plus a gentle sweetness. Not my thing, but a good scent for summer!

Refined citrus-almond summer scent with a fine vanilla base and a good punch. Also great for men!

Interesting mix of citrus, almonds, flowers, green notes, and a hint of Vick Vaporub. Not for me, but I'm sure it will have its fans!

Multi-layered ginger-almond scent. Fresh/spicy/warm/lemony. It's not for me - but it's well crafted. Unisex and quite nice.

Candied lemons. Bitter, aromatic citrus peels, bits of fruit flesh, wrapped in sugar crystals, a hint of vanilla.

Difficult start (similar to hospital germ) lasts 10 minutes, then a lovely vanilla emerges. 0 red fruits.

Beautiful until patchouli takes the stage after an hour. If you don't mind that, you should give this a try! Refreshing and warm at the same time.
