What does Solaire smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick it for daily and leisure wear, and it also works at the office; fewer choose it for nights out or evenings. It reads equally well on men and women.
Styrax, frankincense and black pepper give the opening a warm, resinous edge with a touch of spice. In the heart, elemi resin comes forward while Ambrox and Helvetolide® soften it. Myrrh, cistus, cedarwood and benzoin settle the base into a sweet, powdery, woody ground, with a faint animal note staying in the background.
