This month? We try out Yves Rocher Sel D’Azur eau de parfum…
If you know French fragrance, you know Yves Rocher. Founded in 1959 in La Gacilly by Monsieur Yves Rocher, what began as a single jar of a botanical cream mix-mastered in his attic is now an international powerhouse fuelled by plant-based, sustainable and straightforward craftsmanship, complete with a great scent or two.
Sel d’Azur Eau de Parfum is one of these great eaus. Crisp and refreshing, the unisex fragrance wears with an easy, masculine confidence.
Thee parfum opens with notes of tart grapefruit and bright lemon zest for a sharp, clean and instantly energizing vibe. Then, as it settles, warm notes of cedarwood waft through, adding structure and a subtle intimacy that keeps things grounded. Earthy and green vetiver anchors the scent with its slightly smoky finish that lingers in a way that feels natural, not overpowering. The overall effect is a fresh and woody scent with salty sea air layered in. It feels relaxed, put-together and confident.
Sel d’Azur’s sleek-looking bottle follows suit. Clean glass, understated lines and the soft yellow-hued juice within gives nod to sun-filled days. While images of ocean waves and citrus, beautifully splashed across the packaging, allude to the brilliance and ease of the eau.
Yves Rocher Sel D’Azur EDP, $69.96 for 100ml, available online at www.yvesrocher.ca and in Yves Rocher stores.
