S'Il Vous Play

S'Il Vous Play from Francesca dell'Oro, released in 2020, is a sweet woody fragrance with sparkling citrus and a peppery edge. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand, most also find it woody, about half notice spice and citrus, and a minority pick up flowers and amber.

Grapefruit and pink grapefruit give a bright, juicy, slightly bitter opening, and rhubarb adds a tart, green-pink crispness. Sichuan pepper brings a tingling, electric spice, and nutmeg a softer, warm one. Lemon blossom and vanilla flower add a light floral touch in the middle. The base becomes warmer and sweeter: vanilla gives a creamy, comforting sweetness, while vetiver, including Bourbon vetiver, brings a dry, grassy, slightly smoky woodiness, and sandalwood and amber a smooth, glowing finish.

It is worn by anyone and balances freshness and sweetness well. The citrus top suits spring days and daytime wear, while the vanilla and vetiver base gives it enough depth for autumn evenings. Those who enjoy citrus-and-vanilla fragrances anchored by vetiver should find it versatile.
