Warm and wild summer days

I am an unconditional fan of the scent of "Immortelles". Not because the Greeks used it to crown images and statues of Apollo, since the plant symbolized love. But, above all, because of the beautiful and unforgettable olfactory memories that I associate with it.

When, in the late summer afternoons, I returned from a beach along the dunes of the coast of southwest Portugal, I was blessed by a warm breeze that brought the comforting, spicy and relaxing scent of "Immortelles" (Helichrysum italicum) with small golden-yellow flowers.

That is why I have been a fan of "Sables" by Annick Goutal since the very beginning. Launched in 1985, it was probably the first fragrance in history in which Immortelles took center stage.

A masterpiece that has been the great reference among fragrances centered on "immortelles" or "everlasting", and was conceived as a declaration of love from Annick to her husband (Alain Meunier), trying to reproduce the sublime atmosphere of the days spent in Corsica during the summer.

Since the 3 subsequent versions have been inferior to the original (although still interesting) I have always been attentive to all the fragrances centered on Immortelles.

Since then I have tried many without being able to find one as realistic as the 1st edition of Sables. To date, the ones that have come closest to this level are: L'Eau des Immortels by Voyages Imaginaires and Le Mat by Mendittorosa. Far behind are: Immortelle Corse (Parfums d'Empire), Everlasting by Scent Trunk, etc.

But now, something has appeared that I consider to be on par with the original Sables and which is my best discovery among the perfumes launched in 2025. The scent of Immortelles is finally well reproduced and well underlined by the other notes that accompany it in the background.

A spicy, slightly smoky/woody and dry scent. Like the atmosphere of happy summers by the sea, with a silent and intense sun beating down on a warm and wild landscape with rocks and dunes dotted with mustard-colored Immortelles whose scent blends into our skin.

Fruity licorice immortelle

My sample just arrived.
Another banger from Les Indemodables. They consistently find ways to take my money. Licorice and dried fruits are clearly present against the slightly sweet, dry, herbaceous qualities of immortelle. A slight leathery, maybe smoky/gritty facet if I put my nose close. Comes off quite aromatic and sweeter than I was expecting. It isn't TOO sweet though, certainly well balanced. Unisex leaning masculine in my opinion. It doesn't instantly remind me of any other fragrance at the moment. MAYBE a hint of Serge Lutens La Proie Pour L'Ombre due to the licorice.

Détour XVIII: Solaire, yes. But..

Around two years ago, I was able to smell an immortelle extract from L'Atelier Français des Matières, which seemed "greener" to me than corresponding products from other manufacturers - as if green, balsamic-spicy facets, which are normally inherent to immortelle essential oil, were combined with those of the absolute. Full Spectrum is the internal term the French company likes to use for its approach and technique. As a lover of immortelle, I briefly speculated on the idea of how this could work centrally in a fragrance and was nevertheless surprised when I got wind of Immortelle Solaire.

Admittedly: The fragrance definitely suggests a different interpretation of immortelle - due to its constellation with the other notes. If you are looking for the complex, spicy, syrupy and medicinal-iodine nuances that are characteristic of Immortelle absolute - such as those found in Sables (1985) or, more recently, Immortelle Corse (2019) - you will not find them here. Is it a pragmatic strategic consideration to avoid these solitaires among the Immortelle fragrances and not get caught up in their wake in the first place? And, is new territory being generated here?
A few years ago, Immortelle was still special interest material par excellence, but over the last ten years it has become increasingly popularized, even "gentrified": The formerly bulky note has often become an ambery filler that can sometimes seem characterless. Of course, newer extraction methods also make it possible to isolate only partial aspects of the immortelle spectrum or to emphasize or remove them. Perfumes from the mainstream niche such as Givenchy Immortelle Tribal (2010), Ganymede (2019) or Chloé Immortelle (2023) are examples of this - and Voyage en Méditerranée - Immortelle de Corse (2011) led the way. The added value of a note that was once considered demanding is now often only used for street credibility. Even the Parisian aristo house Hermès recently used a note that could also fit well into the Immortelle descriptor vocabulary for Terre d'Hermès Eau de Parfum Intense (2025). A recently announced Comme des Garçons-Monocle publication [for those unfamiliar with the latter: a hybrid of Le Monde diplomatique, Schöner Wohnen and Manufactum catalog] Syros (2025) is probably also based on this plant.

Styrax Solaire - would that perhaps have been a more honest name for this fragrance? The styrax note dominates, presumably extracted from the American amber tree (a popular species in many botanical gardens - keyword witch hazel), and dominates in large proportions: balsamic-sweetish, warm, subtle but also definitely smoky, yet light and bearably gourmand, enhanced by creamy hazelnut and low-frequency patchouli and perhaps something like (another) smoky labdanum addition. Solaire in the sense of sun-drenched, barren nature: cicadas, memories of a distant campfire, etc. Even if the gourmand aspects are minimal here, a connection to Vanille Havane (2020) and Patchouli Noisette (2023) cannot be denied.

Back to the image that Immortelle Solaire paints - a Mediterranean, non-citrusy, rustic summer idyll that has now become a cliché, which is increasingly being used in perfumery (starting with the early Diptyque's) and for which I also have a soft spot. The garrigue-like hinterland, which has been neglected for years, has to make up for what is long gone on the coasts. Factors such as climate change and overtourism are ignored: no exhaust fumes from cruise ships, no woody-amber-Naxos clouds on the beach, no forest fires far and wide. Perfumery has always been good at maintaining such projections.

The Immortelle - somewhat coffee-like from the start, with mildly acidic fruity facets as well as a certain "boozyness", i.e. with brandy-like qualities - which makes me think of 1740 (2008?) or newer, such as Tucson (2022), not so much because of any similarities - Immortelle Solaire is different and more finely woven - but rather because of the weighting, where an Immortelle note appears on an equal footing with others. The extract used has presumably also been further developed, and the respective ecotyo also plays a role - but is the difference really so great or has the spectrum been deliberately tuned or modulated so strongly by the other ingredients? Indirect Immortelle approaches naturally have their own charm - even if they smell completely different - the sometimes strongly encrypted Immortelle figures in some Serge Lutens fragrances are relevant in this context.

All in all, a surprisingly airy, sunny, ambery fragrance in which the immortelle note seems to me to be trimmed, but not uninteresting. Nevertheless, Immortelle Solaire certainly comments on the trend of bypassing the demanding facets of immortelle - and even does this quite well. But: if such characteristic qualities are retouched, the question arises: why? Perhaps the name is only partially clear to me - or perhaps it is the naming that is misleading: Immortelle plus adjective - or rather a strong adjective in contemporary Immortelle garb?... with thanks to Yatagan.
