When spraying on this fragrance is unlike anything I know.
On the skin, a pure fruit explosion takes place first. I notice here the peel of a sour apple, tangy bergamot and then pleasantly bitter currant. Underpinned is this fragrance spectacle of discreet cardamom and a proper fructose sweetness.
Here I must immediately think of summer and southern, juicy fruit, which is quite true to the name of the perfume. Later I perceive a sweet mint in combination with fig, whereby the apple rather recedes. Still, the fragrance remains tart, as the currant is very dominant. A discreet peach touch compliments the fresh fruit splendor and lets this become lovely-floral in the finish.

The composition is very complex. Individual notes blend into a euphoric and fruity whole. This even has taste substance and encourages dreamy wanderlust. For me, Pulp is a relatively feminine fragrance, which I like as such extremely well.

Reflect takes its cue from various sporty shower gels, which to me smell obtrusively citrusy and artificial.
The basic building block in this case is an intense, synthetic bergamot. Added to that are light marine and herbal notes that make for an insubstantial but refreshing blend. Even at minimal dosage, this has an ordinary presence without depth.
Then a plastic note emerges (I suspect from the clary sage), reminiscent of inflatable swim rings at the beach, yet quite fittingly blending into the overall synthetic-clean picture. After this note weakens somewhat, I perceive minimal wood, before the fragrance remains predominantly pungent-citrus.

I can not get anything out of the perfume, unfortunately. It seems uninspired and banal.

Pour Un Homme de Caron has enchanted me and convinced me of the concept of a completely balanced perfume! The fragrance occurs decidedly noble and extravagant, without being intrusive or extreme. Just that is known to make a real classic, which convinces here par excellence.

For a fantastic moment, the pure, garden-fresh lavender blooms with overwhelming power, to then take the heart of the fragrance. After just a few seconds, the lavender loses its pungency and is subdued by a sweet powdery vanilla. However, its nuances keep standing out from the dry sugar dust, even if the lavender is almost displaced for me. With perfect discretion, sensual musk finally joins in. This reminds a bit of candle wax and brings in a minimal-animalic note. The fragrance remains discreet and yet has gravitas.
Phenomenal is then the finish! The dried lavender results with the warm musk and the powdery vanilla an accord that is beguiling, highly elegant and attractive.

Since I have not yet sufficiently engaged with lavender fragrances, I would like to allow me in this regard yet no judgment. However, I think that hardly any perfume succeeds in such a perfect symbiosis, as Pour Un Homme de Caron.

I can hardly believe that this fragrance composition should be based on only one ingredient; so multifaceted and voluminous comes Attaquer Le Soleil therefore. On the other hand, there is also an in itself coherent coherence of the aroma development, which is why everything was actually done right here with a simple, yet effective formula.

Allegorically, the perfume is based on a clear theme, which does not pay tribute to D.A.F. de Sade or his dubious, prosaic products, but evokes clear associations of a beautiful, mystical coniferous forest.

The note that holds the fragrance together as an omnipresent fixative is the labdanum of the cistus. Thus, the top note initially sounds of oily tree resin and palatable-sweet forest honey. Immediately, the invigorating coniferous aroma, followed by spicy herbs, takes on the heart notes, which then unfold warmly and consistently in balsamic amber. A natural, non-disturbing animalicism is definitely present in the background; however, it gives the fragrance a sensual toughness. Also implied incense is to be perceived.
After a longer development, a dignified cedar appears, expanding the forest spectrum with slightly rubbery, old wood. The previously almost overwhelming fragrance becomes delicate and cozy.

What an aquatic vetiver fragrance can do, this perfume shows extremely well. It cools and refreshes on hot summer days, it creates a longing for the sea and it leaves the skin dry and cleansed. However, Sel de Vétiver also shows what one would not expect. The fragrance develops quite predictably and remains kantig-sterile.

The vetiver base actually emerges very aromatically. Cardamom and lovage give a tart, metallic opening that blends into the warm vetiver. This provides a characteristic spiciness, which reminds a little of 4711. The successful earthy base underpins a citrusy top note of bitter grapefruit, which brings in an ethereal freshness.
Thereupon, the sea is abruptly perceived: A dry salt layer sharpens the cool freshness and takes the fragrance completely. At the same time, a cleansing chlorine note appears through the geranium, but I find it more pleasant than still in Sel d'Argent. This may have to do with the fact that the scent still remains natural. Later, I smell only citrusy-clean lovage.
