Azuree Soleil Eau Fraiche Skinscent is part of this year’s Tom Ford Estee Lauder Collection, and will launch as a limited edition this coming April. Other than the inspiration (“the Mediterranean near Mrs. Estée Lauder’s vacation home in Cap d’Antibes, off the coast of France”), it has nothing in common with the original 1969 Azuree fragrance from Estee Lauder. The notes include tiare (gardenia), orange blossom, jasmine, magnolia petals, myrrh, bergamot, mandarin, amber, sandalwood, vetiver, caramel and coconut cream.
I have said before that I’m not a big fan of tropical-beachy or suntan oil scents, and so when the Azuree Soleil Body Oil was released last year, I didn’t rush to try it. By the time I got around to giving it a sniff, all the stores were sold out. Even then, the little tiny sample I managed to snag didn’t make much of an impression on me. Still, everyone else raved about it so I was curious about the new Eau Fraiche Skinscent…
