French Riviera Mancera 2022

I will first attempt a brief description of the fragrance...the often-shared impression of a luxurious sunscreen or after-sun lotion has also captured me directly..I am unusually unable to provide much more description...
Why? Ideally, perfume should evoke emotions or associations in the wearer...for me, this would be an understatement with the French Riviera...
The scent catapults me straight back to vacation, when after a wonderful, sunny day at the beach, freshly showered, I apply after-sun lotion, sitting on the terrace with a glass of chilled white wine...not yet in evening attire but casually enjoying the evening sun in a bath towel, soaking up the fizz of summer...until my better half joins me with the same aura and outfit, sun-kissed, and thoughts quickly arise that could necessitate a second shower...
Please forgive me this slightly ambiguous description of what this scent triggers in me...it resembles a high of flashbacks...I know no scent from my collection that has captivated me so intensely and continues to do so. Unfortunately, I could never wear it at work...concentration would be impossible with all the vacation memories...but when I want to travel in my thoughts, I spray this scent on...while others take drugs for their "trip," I use the French Riviera...
