The Cheerful Summer Night.


Translated, Vol d'Hirondelle means "Swallow Flight."
While I don't associate this perfume with a swallow, the impressions that come to mind are from a bird's-eye view. Funny.
This scent evokes the beginning of an evening in a lively small town on the Mediterranean coast. The day was hot, and life really starts to come alive with the setting sun.
Music plays between the small old houses with their heat-cracked tiled roofs, along with the clinking of street food dishes, laughing women, and shouting children.
The olfactory impressions that the heat has drawn from the herbs and trees blend with the cool evening air and the spices of the prepared dishes.
A packed, multi-layered scent of
bitter and dark green shrubs, citrus is hidden beneath various other ingredients and rather evokes a dark, heavy freshness. The floral hints are present but authentic, of a woody nature. Lightly creamy musk mingles with smoky, earthy notes and is surrounded by a slightly fruity touch, it could be fig. The spices are by no means heavy, rather creating a feeling of sandy ground.
A perfume that conveys the summer feeling in a different way. No aquatic notes, no tea, no pure citrus, no clean scent. The summer association is transported through a light spicy, woody fragrance. Here we have the cooled scent of a summer day full of work and the relaxed, joyful liberation from it as the sun sets.
These are my favorite summer fragrances, as they fit perfectly into this time; they are rooted in summer and evoke the most images in me.

Thank you for reading my comment.

I really like Laurent's fragrances. I'm just unsure about some of them. Nice comment!
