There are 3 reviews of Ciel d'Opale.
While this is pleasant and easy to wear, like a number of Duchaufour's recent commissions, it sticks to coloring within the lines. Consequently, it smells like a number of other "nice" but nondescript white floral perfumes. What's placed upfront is the balancing act of the honeysuckle and the jasmine in which the honeysuckle is notched a little higher to keep the jasmine at bay. There's a slight citrus note that peeks through to add an additional degree of light, and the base is a bit of an uninspired stock amber/vanilla combo that's forgivable in that it's not cloying, but is otherwise a little dull. As the top settles, what's left is somewhat of a textbook floral that's nicely rounded without ostentation, yet ultimately does little to set itself apart from other sping/summer compositions of similar quality.
Pros: Given the notes, it's expertly handled in a way that keeps it from being overly cloying.
Cons: There's nothing really new or different from other white florals. Lifespan = about 2 hours.
