Soleil Neige
Carrot and carrot seeds in the opening are not a mistake: they add an earthy, slightly rooty quality to the bergamot that gives Soleil Neige its personality, something that reads as natural and slightly unusual before the white floral heart takes over. Turkish rose and orange blossom are generous and soft, not shrill, and then benzoin and labdanum close it into a warm amber skin scent that holds for hours. It is a fragrance that references winter light rather than winter cold, the golden hour on a snowy hillside rather than the temperature itself.
Why We Carry This
The carrot seed accord in Soleil Neige is a perfumer's decision that most brief-writers would have removed. Its presence is what makes this a Private Blend fragrance rather than a mainstream one, and it's why customers who find it don't stop wearing it.
