Cartier Eau de Cartier Zeste de Soleil, with an aside on Baiser Vole Essence de Parfum ― fragrance review
Zeste de Soleil is apparently meant to be the exotic-slash-tropical entry in the series; it adds passion fruit to the original mix of yuzu and mint. The top notes are the perfect antidote to the grey, dreary, rainy weather we're having here lately: an energetic burst of what smells like flash-frozen grapefruit peel — it's very bright and very yellow, and I'm surprised they did not use the perfume-speak term 'crystalline' in the description. They did call it refreshing, sunny, radiant, joyful and invigorating (among others); perhaps that was enough, and I'll vouch for all of it. The passion fruit appears after a couple seconds, and Zeste de Soleil gets sweeter and fruitier, but thankfully remains close by classic cologne territory instead of veering into fruity floral. It's lively and vibrant, and it stays that way for at least the next half hour or so. The mint is not heavy but it's there, and the dry down has a greenish, herbal cast over a pale woody musk. I wish I had some of the original Eau de Cartier to compare; going on memory, it's reasonably similar.
Verdict: great fun, although admittedly, much of the fun is packed into the first 30 minutes. What's left after 2 hours is nice enough, what's left after 4 is verging on bland — about what you would expect from a summer eau. If it came in a smaller size, I'd consider adding it to my buy list, but it is not, for me, 50-ml-worthy. Still, I wish I had an automatic diffuser to spritz some in the air every 15 minutes or so for the rest of the winter; it would cheer me up immensely.
