...so boring...
*Cue up The Price Is Right losing horn*
I received a mini of this and immediately put it on this morning, after I had already sprayed a subtle amount of Les Nuits d'Hadrien. I thought the conditions for which to wear either citrus scent were perfect; it's about 90°F right now. I was reminded of my former love of all things hesperidic. There was a time I would have loved to possess a bottle of Sel d'Azur. That love was modified and shaped by perfumes like LNd'H and Eau des Merveilles. Sel d'Azur is boring.
Is Sel d'Azur bad? Absolutely not. I'm wavering between 'like' and 'ok'. It hasn't changed in the last four hours. It smells like tart citrus with a woody base. It hasn't budged one bit and I do not think that's a bad thing. However, I've been exposed to other, more complex hesperides and, sadly, I'm no longer enchanted by this. I'm certainly not enchanted at their asking price ($55 for 1 oz).
Maybe I'll grow to enjoy this mini. Chances are good, though, I'll forget about it and eventually pass it along to someone who will love it more.
