Solaris Eau de Parfum PENHALIGON’S

Warm citrus with a soft suncream scent. I love this smell. I find it's very nostalgic, reminding me of some bath oils I had when I was a child.

It opens with a suncream smell that dries down to a more citrus-y vanilla. Lasts around 6 hours on me. Cosy, summer-y, and comfortable. I would recommend :)

So my husband got this one for me as per recommendation of a SA at the boutique and let me tell you, as soon as I sprayed it I have been obsessed! I am a big fan of Le Lys by Le Labo and I would definitely put them in the same family of warm, summery scents. Something so feminine and delicate in these frags : ylang ylang, white flowers and a bit of zest is a perfect combination for a ‘feel good’ frag! Id say it’s a very safe buy for those who love florals

Tried at the store today.

Brilliant launch by Penhaligon’s, this smells very solar and bright, happy. Smells like you’re between jasmines and a beach.

Loads of natural jasmine and yellow powder given by the ylang ylang.

The tiaré gives that sun tan lotion vibe, beach vibes, and the vanilla in the background, mixed with the flowers, reminds me of a more delicate and floral version of rosendo mateu 5.

Spot on, more on the feminine side.

Solaris; it's pretty delicate and lovely. The perfume is mild and creamy, with a slight sunscreen scent. This is a lovely white floral that, in my opinion, can be worn at any time of year. I love to layer white florals with Delina body oil for an alluring, sensual scent.

I got a sample of this in a bulk order a few months ago from Penhaligon’s. I ignored it at first – too bright, much too bright for me. Then today, on an overcast and grey day in early March, when I was feeling a little depressed, I thought I’d have another go at it. After reading the notes of vanilla and sandalwood, two of my favourites, and it smelt beautiful. I applied more and closed my eyes and felt transported to an old country house, surrounded by fields of bright yellow flowers, looking through French doors with billowing white curtains and happy children in white linen clothes running in and out. Wicker baskets filled with fresh produce. A garden filled with wildflowers and baby ducks. A kitchen window with a freshly baked tarte au citron cooling. La Bohème by Charles Aznavour playing softly on a vintage record player.

Apologies for the soliloquy; but I had to demonstrate just how taken I was with this scent on secondary inspection. All the ingredients sing to create a joyful, warm, sweet, and familiar bouquet. A symphony that smells like my romanticised idea of motherhood. It’s seriously beautiful. It would be perfect with some more sillage.
