07 SOLSEKIA Eau de Parfum

A secluded garden on the Mayan Riviera gives Solsekia its atmosphere: orange blossom in the sea breeze, green plants and sun-warmed air. Rather than describing a tropical garden through heavy floral sweetness, Pierre Guillaume captures its fresher, more delicate side.

Citrus and Mexican orange blossom form a bright floral accord, accompanied by blue agave and the green, lightly spicy character of chilli leaves. Driftwood and vetiver lend a drier counterbalance. The contrast is between the softness of the flowers and the more saline, vegetal impressions around them, not between sharp freshness and a rich sweet base.

Solsekia therefore suggests a coastal garden rather than a bowl of ripe fruit or an opulent white-flower bouquet. Its freshness has gentle contours, with enough dry wood and green detail to keep the sunlit floral character from feeling sugary.

Fragrance notes: citrus, Mexican orange blossom, blue agave, pimento, driftwood and vetiver.

This fragrance is for you if: you like fresh floral fragrances with a green, lightly salty character and prefer delicate flowers to lush, sweet bouquets.

This fragrance may not be your best match if: you expect a tropical fragrance to be creamy, coconut-like or dominated by sweet exotic fruit; Solsekia takes its character from coastal greenery and flowers.

Choose this fragrance if: you are looking for orange blossom softened by a sea-breeze impression and balanced by driftwood and vetiver, rather than a conventional citrus cologne.
