Le Solstice - Un souffle de santal irisé

Iris and sandalwood form the backbone: the iris brings a powdery, floral air, while the sandalwood holds it on a creamy, woody base. Mandarin orange brightens the whole, and white musk softens it into a lightly sweet, clean finish. Spicy touches stay in the background, and a slightly synthetic sheen comes through.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without leaving a heavy trail. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daytime and office wear lead. Voters read it as somewhat more feminine, though a fair share see it as masculine. Kenzo Soleil Thé and Massimo Dutti White Evening have a close profile.
