Flowery, spicy wummser with lots of indolence
I bought Soleil in the souk because the fragrance seems to be similar to Sung Eau de Toilette. I really like that one, so I was curious. Apart from that, I have a soft spot for 80s/90s fragrances (due to my age).
After the first spray, the bitter orange blossom, which smells quite indolic in combination with jasmine and freesia, takes your breath away for a moment. But in my opinion, blue rain also joins in. We have a huge wisteria in the courtyard that was in full bloom until recently. So the scent is familiar to me.
At first, I find Soleil inharmonious, sharp, dusty and bitter. Only as the fragrance progresses does it become softer, more floral and rose-soapy. The bitter orange blossom recedes into the background, allowing a beautiful, radiant white lily to emerge. The fragrance also develops a dry, green-brown spiciness which, together with the flowers, is indeed reminiscent of Sung Eau de Toilette. I really like this heart note.
It is very important that you don't put your nose directly on the sprayed area, because then the indolic will overwhelm you, although I actually quite like this dusty-animalic note. The perfume definitely smells more harmonious 10 cm above the skin.
Conclusion: floral, spicy, rather unsweet, indolic. Quite a little stunner that you shouldn't overdose on if you don't want to risk a choking attack.
And then THIS FLACON...! Guys! It couldn't be more typical of the 90s. The chubby sun, reminiscent of a Harlequin cap, with the engraved spiral could be seen everywhere back then, especially on necklaces or on these decorative sticks for the flower bed. I even still have stamps with the symbols - three decades ago they were used to decorate letters and postcards :)
I am delighted with the Soleil. It will take pride of place on my perfume shelf, even though I probably won't wear it often.
