The ecstasy of the sun
The opening act is a blast of the yuzu and neroli notes. Sharp and has an herbal spiciness to it from the notes sitting underneath. Not a big punchy spice, just a good baseline amount.
Definitely get more of the rosemary and pink pepper. However, early on I do detect a tiny amount of thyme, that will fade away thereafter.
The other note that really plays a big role here is cypress. Lots of Tom Ford and some Acqua di Parma fragrances use cypress a lot in their summer scents, so it is interesting to see Louis Vuitton doing the same for On the Beach.
The cypress, herbal notes, and that ‘sand’ element thrown in really do give this a warmth and dryness versus that bright and juicy yuzu start.
The rest of the way is pretty straightforward. Neroli, cypress, yuzu, and that mix of green/sand. This really does have a sandy quality to it, which is kind of strange. Not bad, just unusual.

A whisper of fresh ginger
L’Immensité opens up with its potent ginger note being joined by the bergamot and grapefruit. Initially, that sharp and juicy bergamot is stronger on my skin than is the grapefruit, but that will flip as it moves along.
Underneath all of that is an aquatic accord, which helps adds to that summertime vibe, but this one never completely veers oceanic. A bit salty, that’s about it.
The ginger is the star of the spiciness within this mix. Sage and rosemary might make up around 30% of the rest, at their peak. Sage sticks around for a while, though, neither is too big of a player.
Most of this one is about the amber note coming in. The ginger and grapefruit sit on top of all of that amber, which gives it a warmer vibe. The style is similar to Bleu de Chanel EDP, but ultimately fairly different fragrances.
The drydown is a fresh and slightly citrus amber. Very little of that aquatic accord is still present.

Pleasant
The opening of L’Homme L’eau is really quite fresh and features iris, neroli, and the wood notes also peak through at the start. To my nose, it doesn’t have as much iris as the original L’Homme, but it is fairly strong towards the beginning of the wear and is present throughout.
I get more wood in this one than its predecessor, with less amber, and some added ginger. I will say, on clothing, the ginger really pops and L’eau has a spicier kick than on my skin.
The is a cleaner and more refreshing take on the original cologne, the powdery accord is heightened, and it’s not as light of a fragrance as one might expect.
L’eau is an airy sort of scent but isn’t insubstantial and actually hangs around with its other L’Homme mates, quite well for the first 3-4 hours of wear. The amber in this flanker is light and doesn’t create a warm cloud of scent, like in others.
As it dries down, more I can pick up some of that light ginger spice, but I still get that baby powder/make up powder smell, that it has a few minutes in. L’eau is definitely a floral led scent, with the neroli and iris, becoming more balanced within the composition as it moves forward.
It’s a very straightforward cologne and you know what you’re going to get from this one in short order.

Freshness
Alien Man is at least interesting. You get cool herbal freshness, sweetness (dare I say powdery), smokiness, and the usual leather and woods. Plenty of depth and the notes don’t always stand out individually.
I won’t say that it smells like Drakkar Noir or Passion by Elizabeth Taylor, but at times it definitely has that same kind of style. That classic style sitting underneath a different sort of opening act.
The middle will be a transition, loss of the dill and thyme influence, more of the herbal cool freshness. That will lead the way to the woods and leather’s growing influence.
The final dry down to my nose, is a fresh blend of woods (with surprisingly less smoke than it had before), with leather, herbal notes, and an amber/vanilla thickness. It’s deep and dark with its presentation.

Feminine
Fleurs D’oranger is listed as a unisex fragrance but this one definitely strikes me as feminine. It opens with orange blossom, a spicy musk, and jasmine as the main notes that I detect. Very floral, like white flowers and cut stems, on a sunny spring day.
This perfume is quite bright and has an expensive soapy quality to it. I think there might be citrus fruit itself here (not just flowers), but it is never a ‘juicy’ aroma, Fleurs D’oranger is dry and has an outdoor garden vibe from this bouquet of floral notes.
As it dries down, I distinctly begin to pick up on the tuberose note, and it retains it’s animal like spice an warmth. Further along, the orange blossom seems to take center stage and never really relinquishes its hold on the composition.
I think that the cumin and musk combo give it a middle eastern sort of spice and that is what complements the orange blossom for the rest of the wear.
