Hiver for Summer
Although this fragrance is Hiver (Winter) in the Les Saisons series (The Seasons), it's really not appropriate for winter to me. It's a great, light & cool musk that best for warmer weather.
A green floral? Not to me. I primarily get a linear, lime musk. Sometimes I get a bit of spiciness, but for the most part VCA Les Saisons Hiver is a cool, citrus aromatic, which makes it an ideal scent for warm days.
I have to overspray Hiver because the EDT is so light and my skin just drinks it in. It wears close to the skin but does have good staying power, like a good French cologne. Hiver does reveal different layers and it "kicks in" at the second or third hour. But the layers seem to repeat themselves, offering nothing new. This is why I say it's linear. Maybe to a trained nose it's not. Or, maybe that's what makes it special - the repeated unfolding of itself.
I'm glad to have a bottle, but it won't warrant repurchase. The bottle is beautiful in its simplicity, like the SJP Lovely bottle in that regard - simple beauty. However, the metallic snowflakes are just plain cheesy.
