As an opportunity to keep an olfactive memory of my experience at the Four Seasons Guerlain Spa (Montreal) in my collection, I found this scent while searching on Guerlain's website for the products I had used at the Spa. I will admit here it was a half blind-buy and an exception to my usual buying rules. Got it from a discounter since it seems to be discontinued in Canada.
This is probably the most fragile, fleeting and evanescent fragrance in my collection, but it's just SO beautiful. I wish I could be doused constantly in it. So elevated, sophisticated and beautiful. A timeless classic and very fitting to wear during sweltering temperatures. A nice, refreshing start of citrus fruits paired with a delicate, misty-like green note like dew drops on a leaf. Neroli is present, but subtle, offering a fresh, floralness to the fragrance. Lavender appears a little bit later, bolstering the green note without making it too overwhelming, offering a soothing and relaxing facet to this refreshing fragrance. It's giving spa and downtime with its herbal, aromatic component. Drydown fades nicely with a hint of woodiness and some powderiness. It gives soapy vibes at the end, but a very nice, soapy, clean accord.
It has absolutely abyssmal longevity and I am glad I got it at a discount. It's still a very beautiful olfactory memory for me and I'll be cherishing my bottle until it's gone for sure! Made me realise how much I love the note of lemon verbana, something I should probably explore a little deeper!
