And just like that, it’s Friday again, how time is flying, in just three months its Xmas. Where has the year gone. But Friday also means that it is time for a the next instalment of Fragrance Friday, which today Is about the Tous Les Colognes Concentrees Eau de Toilette*.
As a lover of clean simple lines, I immediately feel for the sunning tall frosted bottle, with the adorable little bear made from white-washed timber on the lid. The little bear is perhaps a little child-like, and not what you’d usually associate with luxe (as per the brands other products such as handbags), but it is the the symbol and logo for the Tous brand, and well, it is cute.
The actual fragrance contains the following notes;
- Top Notes: Peony, Green Mandarin
- Middle Notes: Rose Water, Jasmine
- Base Notes: Sandalwood, Musk
It is described as a floral musk scent, but personally I wouldn’t really describe it as a musky scent, but rather a fresh slightly zesty floral scent thanks to the mandarin, and floral notes from jasmine and peony, thankfully, as I am not fond of scents that are too musky, simply as I find they can be very heavy and overwhelming. But again, that is luckily not the case with this one, although I do think that the added sandalwood and musk helps make it a little more intense and not too light.
Yet is is a very clean, natural and fresh scent, and it is thus perfect for everyday wear - and while I admit that I tend to go for Eau de Parfums to ensure their longevity on the skin, this eau de toilette surprisingly stays smelling lovely throughout the day with no need for touch-ups.
It is a very simple scent, also because there’s only two components to each level of notes, is six notes in total, whereas most fragrances usually have a minimum of three components at each level, or a minimum of nine in total. But rather than simple meaning boring, it is a lovely light and fresh scent, not least thanks to the added green mandarin - and you all know that anything citrus scented is my favourite - and it is the perfect scent for everyday casual wear and especially for spring and summer.
It comes in a large bottle and is well priced considering the high quality too. Definitely one to check out. I know I’ll be reaching for it again again in the coming months.
