Solstice
Solstice by Andrea Maack is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with watermelon and marine accord, moves into jasmine, violet and lily of the valley and dries down to amber. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Watermelon Watery, sugary and very summery. Can read a bit sweet-shop.
- Marine Accord Generic 'ocean' — salt, air and water. Clean and uncomplicated.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
