The salty air, your wind blown hair...
Had to think of the song 'Rio de Janeiro Blue' by Randy Crawford testing this scent from a sample that I got along with an other purchase: 'The salty air, your wind blown hair, reflections on a dream....'.
This is a different, more subtle and 'sophisticated' take on other sea-notes forward scents I know, like Rem from Reminiscence. Eau de Merveilles Bleue also reminds of the sea, but it is not like a sea-wave, splashed in your face :-) and without those, more dirty, seaweed kind of notes. Also more feminine than those; I'd say: uni-sex, leaning feminine.
Feels like the aroma's of flowers (though no flowers are mentioned) and other beautyful things from nature are brought to you by a distant breeze from the sea.
Happy, but not euphoric like many beach-scents can be. It's about a more 'mindful' kind of joy.
Wearing this, you'll find the scent from time to time like lovely scented 'wind blown hair' and I think others will perceive it like that when you pass them by. Because the sillage is strong but not in ones face. People will be intrigued, asking themselves what that lovely scent is they're smelling.
Very different than the first and original Eau des Merveilles Eau de Toilette which I found okay, but a little nauseating and more linear.
Beautyful!
Edit: So...no new jeans this month :-) Had to buy this instead! It matches my skin chemistry so well, it is intensifying by the hour and the scent is developing in such a beautyful, luxurious way. I feel like being on a very expensive vacation on the Côte d'Azur.
This really needs to warm up on your skin. Lovely versatile fragrance. I will reach out for this in spring and summer often!
