What wearers say
“Not your typical floral! Soleil de Jeddah smells like someone dug out a caramelized sun from the earth. If I get to close to the applied spot, it gets too dirty for me, but the best way to experience this is to just catch the warm sunny whafts that dances around you. Not a safe blind buy, but absolutely worth a sample. A unique sunny kind of gourmand. Mature, maybe, I would not expect younger people (16-25) to gravitate toward this. It might just be too different. Projection and longevity is very good! I like it very much.”
“This went from 0 - 10 in a heartbeat for me. The opening is very fruity, citrusy and sweet, almost cloying. But the sweetness and fruits tame down and lend themselves very nicely to the warm and animalic dry down. Very unique. Very addictive. It’s def not for everybody and wouldn’t recommend as a blind buy, but give it a shot. And be patient for the dry down. It’s a journey with this one.”
“90% similar to Porto Bello, by Le Couvent des Minimes. Porto Bello is slightly sweeter, and less challenging. SDJ has better longevity and projection, and smells more niche.”
