Fragrance description

In the serene world of fragrances, where each scent is a narrative of its own, "sea, sud & sun" has claimed its place as a love letter to the South of France. It is not just a perfume, but a sensory experience, capturing the languid luxury of summer in Saint Tropez, the ephemeral moments of sun-soaked afternoons, and the gentle rhythm of the French coast.

Upon first contact, "sea, sud & sun" embraces you with a vivid fig note - so fresh, green, and juicy that it is as though you've just plucked it from a tree in a sun-drenched Mediterranean orchard. It is a bold beginning, full of promise, balanced by the soft, soothing tones of milk and a bright citrus medley. The fig note stands dominantly in the foreground, but the undercurrents of milky smoothness and zesty citrus lend it a complex, layered appeal.

The perfume then gracefully morphs, unveiling its heart notes. Sea notes come forward, a refreshing and ethereal echo of the azure Mediterranean waves lapping gently against the golden sands of the French coast. They weave an aquatic melody with the subtly exotic scent of anise and the intoxicating, sunlit aroma of orange blossom. The orange blossom, in particular, radiates its warm, floral sweetness, a scent that has become synonymous with summer itself.

As "sea, sud & sun" settles, its base notes emerge, a symphony of the delectable and the comforting. The unmistakable scent of a Tropézienne tart, with its sugary allure, layers the perfume with an air of indulgence. There's a whisper of nougat too, an almond-infused echo of local confectionery, adding a layer of sweet, irresistible complexity. The final chord is played by musk, resonating with a warm, sensuous depth that lingers, reminiscent of the summer sun setting on the Riviera.

In "sea, sud & sun", you find more than a fragrance; you discover a timeless tale, a story soaked in the hues of the Mediterranean, narrated by the landscape itself. It is Saint Tropez bottled, a memory of slow, luxurious summer days, painted not in words, but in scents.
