Penhaligon's Solaris EDP

Description

Solaris is Penhaligon's ode to the sun: a bright floral citrus that opens on lemon and blackcurrant and settles into white flowers and soft woods. The house describes a lively citrus meeting a powerful blackcurrant, then tiare flower, ylang-ylang and jasmine bringing a warm, sunlit white-floral heart. Cedar, sandalwood and a touch of vanilla give the drydown more body than a typical summer citrus, which is why it reads polished rather than sporty.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Lemon, Blackcurrant
• Heart: Tiare Flower, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine
• Base: Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla

Performance

Longevity: Moderate. The citrus top is the first thing to fade; the white flowers and woods carry the rest of the wear.
Sillage: Moderate, a bright aura around you rather than a heavy trail.
Projection: Noticeable at arm's length early on, then softer.

An honest note: we could not find enough consistent wearer feedback to give a precise number of hours, so we have kept this general. Citrus-floral scents usually project most in the first hour.

Best Occasions & Season

A Spring and Summer scent for daytime, weekends and the office. The blackcurrant and white flowers feel cheerful in warm weather. Unisex, though it leans floral. Skip it if you want something dark or heavy for winter nights.
