Eau Captivante L'Occitane en Provence 2012

Certainly, I initially fell for this fragrance because of the dreamily consistent art deco bottle, but given the early summer that has long settled here at the French border, its inner qualities also manage to convince me.
The scent is quite quickly outlined: imagine a chilled glass of water with a slice of lemon and a mint leaf enjoyed next to a lavender bush.
This is entirely sugar-free and never touches the shrill cocktail-like quality, maintaining its French lightness and brand-typical naturalness.
If some support is needed to get out of the hammock after a siesta, this fresh scent would surely be a suitable choice. And sometimes there are those moments, right?
As a so-called Cologne fraîche, it is naturally not a paragon of sillage and longevity - however, this is balanced out by a correspondingly generously sized bottle.
In short, a fragrance for the lighter sides of life that knows how to ease the hot days a little, completely carefree and simple - and so simply, this child is named: captivant.

Edit: at Jacko's suggestion, I would like to add that this fragrance has already been discontinued, although the Parfumo database does not yet know this - le gain aussitôt dévoré que touché...
