[...] Azuree Soleil starts out with the most sumptuous blend of Tahitian gardenia and coconut neither of each is overdone or excessive. For a light skin scent, it has a good amount of complexity and development. The heart is creamy and lush, with just a touch of jasmine and magnolia. On my skin, the drydown is all milky sandalwood with hints of caramel. Interestingly enough, Azuree Soleil doesn’t seem as tropical as Virgin Island Water by Creed. Perhaps it’s the absence of the aquatic accord in the former – Azuree Soleil is all about the sun and its interaction with skin. It’s the ultimate sunny, carefree, buoyant, an all around feel-good scent for summer. [...]

Jen, last time I was there, I was told it the bottles will arrive any day now. Your descriptions is right on! Milky coconuts, fresh lime, and sea water.

Oh Ina–I feel the exact same way you do. I loved how this sounded before I got my sample in the mail—then when I tried it I was in LOVE. I am a huge fan of Creed though.

I get milky coconuts and fresh lime and sea water when I wear it. It reminds me of being in Hawaii and it takes me back there–as I sit here in the sleet and snow. Dammit.

My DH has business meetings in downtown Chicago this week so I have already asked him to get me a bottle at NM….pending it is out yet.

Thanks for the review.
Stay warm and have a lovely evening.

I’m not ready for summery scents like this yet, but I *do* want to go to that tropical island. The sun, the beach, the warm breeze, ahhhhh.

After what has been a ridiculously awful winter in Denver (we nearly broke a 100-year old record for consecutive days with snow on the ground), I could certainly use an olfactory vacation to the tropics.

I shall definitely have to ferret this one out and see if it does a ‘Calgon’ (as in ‘take me away’) on me.

Sounds very nice, except the coconut. I don’t know, it might kill it for me. If it does I still have my Island Hawaii. :O)

Hi Ina!,
I agree! I had recieved a sample of it and it is going to have to be in my summer collection! It smelled like a light citrus with a faint touch of coconut.Gorgeous for spring/summer! Thank you for the wonderful review.Makes me want it even more!

I’m sure I’m from southern Spain and my family stole me cos I was such a beautiful baby… (actually, I wasn’t. My mum used to delight in telling me how I had hair running all the way down to my tuchas and that I looked like a rodent..)

I’ll have to sniff this, but not any time soon or I’ll be aching for heat (not that it EVER gets mid-west cold in southern England, as you know, I).

I’m w/ you – I can’t take winter temperatures. I’m not entirely sure I’ll love this one, but I am definitely sure I want to be in the tropics right now. Sun. Beach. Waves. Sun. Heat. More sun. If Virgin Waters can conjure that up, even if I don’t wear it, I think i want a decant on hand to sniff and let my imagination go to town until I can actually get there.

Ok, my Baltic Beauties…
Please check my DNA…
I resist coconut in fragrance- but this one REALLY works !
SO pretty- and, natch, so costly [those buggers at Creed- shakes fist at venture capitalists].

Where’s our hammock, garcon ?
