Radiant with sophistication and elegance, Eau du Soir is both a luxurious and fresh modern chypré.
After a pungent and high-pitched spicy-citrus opening, moments pass before one concludes that the juniper is the star of the composition. Enveloped with citrus, spices and florals, the juniper provides a sparkling freshness that's also cold, aloof and yet undeniably charismatic.
Consisting of a foundation of cistus, amber, patchouli, oakmoss and musk, it exudes an undeniably regal air of confidence and decadence. The piquant citrus is surprisingly long-lasting, the florals are either discreet or more green than sweetly floral, and its distinctive green attributes never stray into herbaceous territory.
Possessing great lasting power, its projection is quite moderate in contrast – further cementing its graceful and well-mannered demeanour. Although it's marketed towards women, it's undoubtedly more unisex than feminine and still smells remarkably contemporary even after its original release, over twenty years ago.
It may be an expensive fragrance but it's worth every single penny, as it reeks of unbridled affluence in the best way possible. But don't be afraid – it's not as feminine as you might think.
