I usually like heavy, sweet, gourmand, woody fragrances. Usually I try to avoid fragrances on the fresh (and especially citrus and fougère) side, with one lovely exception Aqua Fiorentina. VOL D'HIRONDELLE is very much alike in feeling, and Aqua Fiorentina has only a bit bigger place in my heart, solely on the right of primacy, since I sampled it half year earlier than Vol d'Hirondelle. Those, who like Batucada, this one can be also appealing.
To come to the point: This scent is light, fresh, contains crumbled green leaves with citrusses. Even though it is spicy, it is always natural and near-earth (but not earthy at all), I am struggling how to unfold it, that it touches air, water and ground as well, maybe I should describe it as a real forrest-fragrance. I have not sniffed any flowery ulterior motive in the complex cloud. It never gets too sweet, and keeps the distance from the extremes of gender, so I could call it a well-balanced unisex perfume.
