Sauvignonne
by Ginestet

It doesn’t present the sophistication of an excellent French wine, but it is an enjoyable (if not a versatile) fragrance that is clean and refreshing and seemingly bubbly. It’s actually little more than a pleasant and well-done grapefruit / fruity cologne, and I don’t get any messages of classic wines or the impressive vineyards of Bordeaux. What I love about Sauvignonne is that it is more a bit dry… not sweet and in no way cloying. It’s tart and fresh and not syrupy like so many other fragrances. What I don’t find impressive is its lack of originality and lack of longevity. Very nice fragrance but its cost and lack of endurance are negatives.

this is what champagne would smell like if it was a perfume. bubbly and effervescent citrus. sweet and fabulous in the summer

Unfortunetly quite awful. As a great fan of super dry sauvignonne wine I was kind of hoping otherwise.

This is very tart, thin scent which smells like a raw grapefruit in a new wooden box.

It could have been tart indeed, please, but it should have been richer, better balanced with preferably some ripe lime-like bite to it.

Like all Gineste products, this is very nicely packed.
