Plein Soleil Yves Rocher 2019 Eau de Parfum

My mother-in-law's friend is Swiss, and she has created an idyllic holiday retreat in Calabria because it is too cold for her in Switzerland.
Now that's what I call initiative!

She is a hands-on older lady who hit right into my taste center with her charming holiday resort.

Crooked little houses, located right by the sea and in a lush garden.

As I fell asleep, the waves rocked me into peaceful dreams - mixed with the enchanting floral scents from the colorful garden.

In the morning, one stumbled out the door, directly onto the beach, which was always deserted, as Calabria seemed to me still not fully developed for tourism.

The few other guests - all Italians - dispersed in the generous expanse.

On the horizon, one could spot Sicily - always my favorite detour by ferry.

When one is to imagine their feel-good place in stressful times, the beautifully dreamy Centro Svizzero appears before my eyes.

And so relaxing is the scent Plein Solei - which for me does not take place in the "blazing" sun, but in the quiet garden, where I loved to linger in the shade of the lush flowering bushes - sometimes with a book, sometimes completely without any distraction.

Ylang and tuberose calmed my nose - brightened by white flowers.
Spicy aromas wafted over from Mama Lilly's herb garden.

And there, I could indeed doze off during the day.

This welcome tranquility is also conveyed by Plein Solei - dolce far niente in my shady little garden corner - under the Calabrian sun.
