L'Été en Douce

Extrait de Songe

L'Artisan Parfumeur 2005

Powdery, puffy, soapy, minty and soft. Oui- en douce, c'est vrai! This is so clean and light it is the perfect scent for interviews, Sunday brunch with the In-Laws, sailing and other miscellaneous fluffy events. In L'Été en Douce you will find peace and quiet- as if Ava Maria was put on auto replay and everything just remained perfectly still, unsoiled and soapy. Dirty and sexy is not even in my vocabulary. This is in no way a detractor for me as an admitted soapy-scent lover, the depth and Sillage on L'Été en Douce is worthy of the L'Artisan bottle. The bottle is of course a gorgeous octagonal art piece in itself- I think every one should have at least one on their dresser, IMHO. L'Été en Douce will appeal to you if you like fragrances such as Jessica McClintock, Summer Rain by Crab Tree & Evelyn and Library of Flowers Linden Blossom Fragrance. Light, innocent, fresh and low sillage, but enduring for 4-6 hours. There was a scent back when I was a child. by Avon called "Almost Innocence", this reminds me of that scent as it dries down and fades into my memory. Perfect for the office, the boardroom or snuggling with the giant Winnie-the-Poo-Bear. Not a dazzler, but a pleasant trusted companion.
