Who wouldn't want a rendez-vous at Cap Ferrat right now?
Someone said to me the other day that this January feels like the 13th month of 2020. The situation is still tense, the weather unpleasant - you just have to make yourself comfortable at home. Fragrances can help to transport you mentally to another place and so Rendez-vous au Cap Ferrat lives up to its name
Godet's creation is by no means an ordinary Aquat, but rather inspired above all by the landscape of the Côte d'Azur: rocky, green coastline and the view of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea. Instead of calone, dihydromyrcenol or the like, the maritime side of the fragrance shows up more subtly as a salty/mineral note. Bergamot and lemon are also more of an accessory, as the aromatic and green facets are really dominant here. Juniper berry is particularly noticeable in the top note and thyme even beyond that. Later, woody notes are added - I'm thinking mainly vetiver and cedar - and fortunately no sweetness at all.
The overall picture is thus exceedingly natural. Some(r) would perhaps speak of a longing bottled as a perfume. The various notes are really well balanced, but as a small drawback remains for me that Rendez-vous au Cap Ferrat is overall a little less fresh than other representatives of this genre. At the beginning, I would even speak of a relatively dense texture, but the fragrance never seems particularly heavy. And this brings me to another point of criticism: it very quickly becomes a skin scent on me, which hardly projects and could do with a bit more airiness. The shelf life is fine and maybe warmer temperatures - which I am already longing for, as well as the possibility of being able to truly travel again and not just in my mind - will help.
