Let me just say that this is my second review ever. While there are many products I like I am seldom ever compelled to write a review. I purchased a sampler because I was intrigued by Grassland Opera and Invisible Woods. I gravitate towards earthy scents although I have been intrigued by gourmand scents I stopped exploring them because I just couldn’t find the right balance when it came to gourmand scents.. they were too alike, too cloying, too juvenile. .. Solar Canopy was a pleasant surprise. I read the notes and was extremely skeptical about the scent but decided to give it a shot anyways. This scent has the right balance of notes- it’s not too sweet / cloying , florals are subdued by red currant and pink sugar offset by pink pepper. On me it smells less floral and more sweet or creamy but it’s not too sweet or cloying. It smells warm and inviting but also fresh. My ultimate test was my husband who loathes sweet notes . Happy to report that Solar Canopy passed my bloodhound sweet note test husband - the first perfume ever with a gourmand note that he complimented me on. I would have purchased a full bottle regardless how he felt but I mentioned him to illustrate that this is not a run off the mill sweet scent.
