Le Jour Se Leve means the day is breaking, and the fragrance holds that exact moment. Mandarin does almost all of the work, but it is a gentle mandarin rather than a bright one, and the musk underneath keeps it soft rather than sharp. It is the sort of fragrance that makes an early start feel less like a punishment.
Why you will love this mandarin citrus perfume
Some fragrances are complicated and some simply feel good, and this is firmly the second kind. There is nothing difficult in it and nothing to decode. The mandarin glows, the musk keeps it clean and skin-close, and the whole thing carries a quiet warmth that makes it easy to wear from morning to evening without a single adjustment.
- A soft, glowing mandarin rather than a sharp lemon or lime
- Clean musk in the base keeps it warm and skin-close
- Genuinely uncomplicated, which makes it easy to wear daily
- Five to seven hours on skin with a gentle trail
- Works in every season and suits early starts especially well
- Refillable bottle
- Composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud in Grasse
The scent
Mandarin opens it, round and soft-edged, with none of the bite of a grapefruit or the sourness of a lemon. A light fruity warmth follows through the first hour. Then the musk takes over gradually, clean and slightly powdery, and the citrus settles into it rather than disappearing. The base is warm, pale and very quiet.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants a gentle, cheerful fragrance for everyday life. It suits mornings, work, warm weather and anyone who has never got on with strong perfumes. It is also a safe gift for a teenager or a young adult, and it works equally well on men and women.
How to use it
Four sprays, since this is a light composition. Apply to the neck, chest and wrists straight after a shower. It is forgiving, so there is no risk of over-applying, and a top-up in the afternoon will carry it into the evening.
