Cool Water Woman in a bubbly mood
Ok, guilty!
Once again, it's a "women's fragrance" that gets a review here from me as a guy.
I think I'll mention this for the last time, as I don't want to bore anyone with my statement on the subject.
Wear whatever you like, no matter what label you put on the fragrance.
For me, "Essence Pure Ocean pour Femme" is a purely unisex fragrance.
I would like to explain why this is the case in the following lines.
S.T. Dupont is a mega exciting label for me. In my opinion, the people there do a fantastic job when it comes to fragrances.
Similar to Lalique or Montblanc, their main expertise lies in other areas (leather goods, pens, lighters, etc.), but they still come out with fragrances that have a great value.
I haven't yet tasted Crap from S.T. Dupont and this is already my 5th fragrance from them.
But let's get to the fragrance itself. I'm happy to give you a comparable direction at the beginning so that anyone interested can decide in advance whether it's worth reading on.
I have exactly 2 fragrances in my range that are roughly similar to this one.
That would be 1. Cool Water Woman and 2. Ralph Woman (the blue one), by Ralph Lauren.
Essence Pure Ocean pour Femme" also goes in this direction, only here my above-mentioned writing comes into play.
While the two related fragrances seem quite synthetic and short-breathed, "Essence Pure Ocean pour Femme" has a completely different quality and, above all, staying power.
Without exaggeration, I can place it in the top third as far as fresh and fruity perfumes are concerned.
The opening is - although not listed - pure peach, paired with the wonderful effervescence of starfruit (comparable to Versace Man Eau Fraîche).
But S.T. Dupont has achieved this in such an organic way that you want to sip the perfume in a frenzy of excitement.
Fortunately, the omaha-like florality never stops you from doing so.
When I say floral, I primarily mean brightening, clear floral essences.
I'm just not an expert enough in the field to say that this is water hyacinth and peony. That would be presumptuous.
That's why I associate pure fresh flowers/blossoms here without any floristry backroom attitude.
And I sense a Mediterranean vacation here. At any time. Warm days in Italy. Markets where you can buy delicious sun-kissed fruit instead of greenhouse fruit. That's exactly how this perfume smells.
What is immediately noticeable is the enormous sillage of the perfume. Especially in warm temperatures, it projects really well. The longevity is correspondingly good, but tends to wear off on a long walk in the blazing sun rather than in a bistro protected from the sunshade.
The development of the fragrance is a dream, as it becomes increasingly musky over time, although the fruit is never completely lost.
After several hours, the warm, sweet woodiness of the cedar comes to the fore and a beautiful fragrance experience remains, which experiences another beautiful twist towards the end.
I would like to emphasize the natural feel of the fragrance. Unlike with so many fragrances, you don't feel like you're glowing in the dark with synthetics.
It rather makes you want to bite into fresh fruit. That's how appetizing this fragrance is.
This is how my headline comes into play. Cool Water Woman in noble.
This is how I would best describe this perfume, because anyone who likes it will be thrilled by it.
Once again, I have not fallen for a S.T. Dupont fragrance - in the truest sense of the word. I am now all too excited about the "men's" version of this.
Oh yes, I still owe you a statement.
I can't think of a single reason why a man wouldn't want to smell like this perfume. At best, hardcore rockers who pour a sip of motor oil into their coffee at breakfast to wake up.
Seriously. At best, the fragrance could be perceived as "too delicate" but so what?
I also like to live out my tender side once in a while. So give it a try.... ;)
I think I've said everything about it now, except:
"The perfume has been around since 2012 and nobody cares???"
It's amazing what can slip through the cracks.
That's it from me.
Have a fragrant day :)
