by Fragrance Du Bois
Solstis by Fragrance Du Bois offers a crisp, clean, and refreshing profile that balances citrus brightness with subtle woody and powdery depth. It opens with a vibrant blend of apple, bergamot, and mandarin orange, enhanced by a light, aromatic spice from pink pepper and cardamom. The heart reveals a delicate interplay of neroli and nutmeg, leading to a smooth, creamy base of sandalwood, vanilla, and vetiver. The fragrance evolves seamlessly through its phases, maintaining a bright, uplifting character without ever becoming harsh or synthetic. Despite its refreshing nature, it possesses noticeable depth and long-lasting presence, making it suitable for daytime wear across spring and summer. While some users liken it to YSL L’Homme or Roja Oceania due to its structured, green-citrus anatomy, others find it unoriginal or underwhelming, especially in its drydown which leans powdery and violet-like, reminiscent of Wulong Cha. Its sillage is moderate and well-balanced, favoring intimate projection rather than theatrical boldness.
