10 - L'Été Avenue Gabriel Solférino 2025

As a guy who prefers lots of feminine leaning fragrances, this one was honestly love at first sniff. Overall, the scent is not terribly sophisticated, but it does a very good job at opening with that juicy, and not too sweet mirabelle plum followed by a comforting leather smell. There are some light florals in the background, but the overall smell is characterized by that mirabelle plum which I find quite unique and interesting. This scent also lasts a decent amount of time on my skin (6+ hours).

When the sunbeams glide over the meadow and the air smells of ripe fruits, then her day begins:

She has just woken up, but already wears a smile on her face.
Quickly to Gabriel. Her horse is as white as cream, with eyes that understand every story. She rides without bridle and saddle; she flies.
Through the blooming gardens of Paris, where the mirabelle trees cast shadows and release their lovely scent. The ground is covered with fallen fruit, and the smell leaves a sweet film on the tongue. Here, her little world begins to dance.

She tells him everything, her Gabriel. Every secret she wouldn’t trust anyone else with, she whispers in his ear. His mane flows like silk, bergamot tickles her nose, and as they trot through the clearings, iris and jasmine mingle in the air - like thoughts that are allowed to unfold. And again and again: Mirabelle. Ripe, warm, a little sticky on the fingers - that’s what summer tastes like when you love it.

Later, she loves to lie on his back when he is lying in the grass, and strokes his coat. It is soft. Suede and cedar gently emerge.

She scents on her dress and smiles.
“You are my summer,” she says. Gabriel snorts softly.
