Long Courrier Pierre Guillaume 2015

With closed eyes, I listen to the sound of the sea... my feet buried deep in the white sand... the sun shines warmly down on my skin.

A slightly cooling breeze blows over, bringing gentle scents that tickle my nose pleasantly. I smell hot, dry sand, salty, slightly algae-like aquatic notes intertwined with driftwood that has been rocked by the seas for months.

I snuggle comfortably into my sand bed and lay my arm over my eyes to fully indulge in the relaxing experience. My heated skin emits a hint of musk paired with sunscreen aroma. The opened chocolate bar peeking out from the beach bag blends with the delicious scent of my orange cocktail.

I could lie like this forever, one with the ocean and the surrounding tropical nature.

These are the sensory impressions that wash over me every time I wear "Long Courrier" by Pierre Guillaume. Rarely has a fragrance reminded me so pleasantly of a tropical vacation. Aquatically infused perfumes are usually not my thing, but LC is so extraordinarily light and simply constructed, it feels so natural and high-quality. I don't perceive any particular scent progression. At first, it is a bit spicier, but quite quickly it develops into a true skin caresser: vanilla, light powdered cocoa paired with orange accents, salt, and woody notes are the components that merge with my skin scent. The sillage is hardly present, the fragrance close to the skin, almost intimate, yet it faithfully accompanies me throughout the day.

A wonderful vacation scent that somewhat eases my longing for the sea and sweetens the time until the hopefully soon-coming island vacation.
