The smell of holidays and sunny days, I want to go to the Cote d'Azur!
Who the hell is Veronique Gabai?!
...I thought to myself, when I accidentally came across a video of Jeremy Fragrance on YouTube... well, so I'm not the big fan of him, because there are better Youtuber for me, which describe me fragrances better and can make me curious about it. But I had time and went searching on the net. For "Eau du Jour" and ....Veronique Gabai.
Anyway, I had never heard the name before, but then I found out that the lady has been in the perfume business for a long time and has created many of the most popular perfumes in the world at Estee Lauder. I was particularly interested in her fragrance "Eau du Jour". Perhaps because I've always been drawn to Mediterranean notes and summery scents. But I just wanted to get away from the classic D&G "Light Blue Intense" and have a scent on me that not everyone wears.
I must say quite honestly, first hit me the blow, when I informed me about the prices: 250 euros for 85 ml, such a thing is not in my small but fine perfume collection. Not bad, I thought to myself, you must really be in love with the fragrance, otherwise you don't buy something like that. Especially not blindly. But since the fragrances are from Grasse and are supposed to be high quality, I looked over ways to test this one and have to say I found it on Net-a-porter.
Actually, I wanted to test exclusively "Eau du Jour", but discovered there from her the
"Escape to the Cote d'Azur Discovery Set" with six different fragrances, which I had ordered last week after much deliberation but. Eagerly I waited for the set and it today the parcel carrier literally torn out of the hand!
In peace I sat down and immediately looked for my mini tester "Eau du Jour", sprayed it on my wrist and tried to let the prelude act on me: first pungent!!! And I thought to myself, "oh god, I promised myself too much!" Almost a little sharp were the citrus notes and I felt like I had inhaled toilet cleaner!
But well, you must not be blinded by the top note, says my favorite aunt in the perfumery, so I waited a few minutes. And then.... then it got better and better and really wunderschöööön.....
Finally the mandarin combined with the bergamot came out in a but softer and gentler form, the lime had been forced into the background a bit. But especially by the sage, which was now somehow mixed with the citrus notes. I like sage. Have you guys ever tried fresh pasta in sage butter? There's something kind of homey about it for me.... It kind of made the scent "softer" and gentler, but hadn't lost its effervescence. The clary sage had turned the scent in a more coherent direction and I really liked that. The woods in the fragrance itself I do not notice so, but must also say that my nose does not resemble a connoisseur or even perfumer *laughs*
The durability is not bad for the citrus fragrance of Ms. Gabai, I get by with about 5 - 6 hours. The sillage, however, moderate. You have to come very close to me to get the impression of the Cote d'Azur.
For me, "Eau du Jour" is more a perfume for women than for men. For ladies who stand on lightness and freshness in the summer and want to start the day positively. Ideal, for the summer vacation or also as a signature fragrance. Who stands from a mix of citrus fruits and soft woods paired with sage, is here definitely right. Whether you want to treat yourself to the bottle for 250 euros, is on another sheet. :-)
I, in any case, will still think about it ;-)
