Description
Sol La belongs to the collection “Les Notes Gourmandes” which includes four fragrant partitures. IT was presented in coopeartion between Zoe Coste and Jacques Flori (Robertet) in 2008.
Sol La is a charming dance of delicate fruit, eucalyptus, rosemary and bitter orange blossom, with a breath of fresh Mediterranean air, which makes this fragrance refreshing and fluffy. The top notes introduce Italian lemon, Sicilian bergamot, orange from Florida, bitter orange, Chinese eucalyptus, French lavender, Siberian pine and Tunisian rosemary. The heart excites us with aromas of ylang ylang, petit-grain from Tunisia and pink pepper from Brazil, while the base creates a finish with Madagascar vanilla, pear and patchouli from Indonesia.
Its beautiful yellow bottle with a charming ribbon is available as 100 ml EDP.

it is a very nice scent, there is an acquatic side to it, which nobody mentioned yet, and it is so unique!!!!

Well lemon burst definitely, so I don’t like citrus scents, this will not work for me, but it isnt simply lemony clean, it is more like a lemon sherbet, so this is better constructed than simply lemon , men could enjoy this, in summer why not.
PETROL1108 – :
1/5. Nothing to say, everybody’s previous negative reviews are spot on!
Ok fine, I’ll say something. Replace all the flowery prose from the top description with phrases like crude, retro-herbal, harsh, brash, greenery-monster, bush-man, bush lady and finally, rosemary. Good for killing insects with though I think.
I can say it again, lemon is one of my favourite notes, but is also one of the hardest to perfectly do! In fact the same can be said for any House wishing to create scents using the listed notes. Always beware of petitgrain, orange, rosemary and greeny-note combos.

I agree that this smells disgusting 🙁 It does remind me of a “natural” bug spray I used before, too. It’s probably the rosemary.

Horrible. Smells like mosquito spray.
Dracon1964 – :
Smells on me like bug spray. I dont like the pine eucalyptus and rosemary in it. Not my type of scent

It smells like a cheap eau de cologne water from the early 80’s. It is not feminine, only masculine in a let’s – do it – baby – i – am – ready – in – my – too – tight – pants. And my moustache is so sexy… Can’t be bothered to describe the notes, better forget it.

Smelled the whole ‘Sound of Music’ today (-:
Except for Mi Fa.
Do Re I find too much ‘candy-like’, but Sol La is lovely!
At first I got too much citrus (which I usually don’t like), but it’s drydown – for which one must be patient by the way – is absolutely wonderful! It has something ‘beachy’ about it too, like Rem, but in a very different way, bit more exiting and much more feminine.
Si Do I find also nice, realy can’t put my finger on what makes it so special…
Got samples of both and a sample of Eau de Pachouli as well which also appears to be nice, but I want to test it another day without all the other Reminiscence scents on my arm. They don’t seem to hurt eachother by the way, but I do feel like a walking tune right now…(-:
But oh my.., what bliss that there’s a shop in my home town that sells the stuff…

I like this unique fragrance.
When I wear this fragrance, at first I strongly feel a eucalyptus and a pine.
I smell the top note having resembled Japanese bath solt “BATHCLIN”.
This will be useful in spring and summer.

I am smelling this again and again as I wear it today! I wish this was easier to buy because it smells sooo wonderful on every level and very unique as well. The first whiff you get a nice combo of citrus and pepper with a tiny bit of vanilla. As it dries down the bitter orange and ylang-ylang come foward and in the end you are left with an elegant peppery patchouli with a tiny bit of rosemary. It is truly an unique perfume and I am hooked!
