Weirdly synthetic while at the same time evocative of a natural scene. Kind of like watching something in HD. It’s fake and you know it but something about it makes you suspend reality for the fantasy of the moment. I don’t know how anyone could wear most of CB’s stuff but I do respect their artistic aesthetic.

Very simple beach type of scent. Reminds me a lot of “Beachy” by Lily Pulitzer actually. Or Salt Air by Demeter a little bit. If you like nice, clean, fresh beach type fragrances this may be for you. Nice….but honestly you can find so many similar perfumes that give the same feel for a fraction of the price.

A bright, green Fairly Liquid dishwashing soap kind of scent. It borrows some of the oceanic notes of scents like At The Beach but it strips away much of that scent’s nuance. “Calone without the headache,” but there’s not much else to this one. It’s aerated and crisp, but largely characterless and becomes a mere whisper within minutes. This would be a great (albeit expensive) post-workout spritzer, but I get none of the intended effect of suitcases, algae etc. There’s something plastic-y lurking around in there, but that might just be coming from the dabber in the sample vial. That’s how faint this scent is.
Despite how underperforming many of the scents in this line are (by design), I really appreciate the aesthetic. You just have to go into sampling CBIHP knowing that you’re going to get something very different from standard perfume. He’s the master of realism and subtlety, and that’s exemplified here.

I get what I could swear is lemongrass. That seems to be the predominant scent on my skin and it stays very linear.
I never get the “old suitcases” part at all. CB usually nails it, but this one doesn’t evoke anything in particular for me, it’s just a fairly pleasant lemony scent.
I don’t dislike it, but there’s not enough happening to make it full bottle worth for me.
If this is your first CB scent, be sure to give others a go because I don’t feel this one is representative of the house at all.

Very evocative, very ephemeral. Absolutely not worth the money. Oh well.

Fantastic fragrance.

Didn’t remind me of holidays, but of a nostalgic place in the past, close to the sea. Has a distinctive animalic / organic scent, more appropriate for men than women. Melancholic and blue…

I’d describe this as the mature cousin of At The Beach 1966. It’s a little sharper and fresher, and makes me think of light blue skies and sandy beaches. I prefer the slightly more sparkly At The Beach, but this is still a pleasant summer fragrance.

CB is surely a funny brand. I like their visionary concept, I like their descriptions and love the perfume absolute bottle and packaging but very often I don’t like very much their scents. Inconsistent and fresh in a very ordinary way. Mr. Hulot’s Holyday is ok but nothing special, really. No old suitcase, sorry 🙁
