About
Solstis by Fragrance Du Bois is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Solstis was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Shadi Samra. Top notes are Bergamot, Apple, Mandarin Orange and Pink Pepper; middle notes are Neroli, Cardamom, Pepper and Nutmeg; base notes are Sandalwood, Vanilla and Vetiver. "Solstis is a midsummer night’s dream time – that’s the one where they wear masks and run around in fields switching lovers. It’s witchy and magical, in a hot, Eyes Wide Shut kind of way. Summer or winter, our magical Solstis is the lovers’ ultimate accessory. A scent for all seasons, Solstis is the story of the intimate relationship between the two annual solstices of the sun. It speaks of an unbreakable but transformational bond in the guise of a powerful and aromatic fragrance. Opening with citrus notes of mandarin and bergamot, this elegant fragrance conjures up sultry summers of amour and adoration. A hint of spicy pink pepper laced with fruity vibes lends a rosy, romantic nuance. The heart notes herald the end of the summer with earthy spices and zesty white florals intertwining like lovers and giving way to autumnal nutmeg, neroli, and cardamom. The romance endures as Japanese vetiver mimics the intense aroma of fertile woods after a tropical downpour. Delicate milky green notes are delivered by sensual sandalwood and a dash of vanilla as this coupling heads towards the winter joined in passion and stronger in unity."Top notes: apple, mandarin orange, bergamot, pink pepper Middle notes: nutmeg, neroli, pepper, cardamom Base notes. sandalwood, vanilla, vetiver.Solstis is available as a 100ml Extrait de Parfum, starting February 2022.
