I find perfume reviews to be a challenge sometimes because it's rare for a perfume to be BAD but it just might not be my thing. Grand Cuvee is definitely not for me but it might be for you!The short and sweet version is that it's a very light, mild scent that gives clean, soft, cottony, creamy vibes. It opens with a bit of a fresh sparkle but that quickly transitions to a relaxing, spa-like, diffuse fragrance without clear notes or architecture. I almost get a hint of shaving cream. The notes listing included chardonnay, amber, vanilla, cognac, cork, and cedar wood, so I was excited to get something warmer and maybe a little woody-resinous but there is no booze, no warmth. It's slightly powdery and radiant, I guess, but with fantasy notes like "Sun-Washed Sails" and "Sun-Kissed Skin" you never know what to expect. I have to say, I do NOT get rich, luxury vacation from this in any way. It's fine, I guess, although I think there are far better clean, soft, cottony, spa scents out there, and this really misses the mark for me on the whole luxury feel. Even the packaging feels like a cheap attempt at luxury. The cap is light plastic and was difficult to pull off the first time and the label is just a stick with bland design. The sillage and projection is, as you can imagine, very light as is the longevity. I've used body sprays that are stronger and longer lasting. I received this bottle for free in exchange for an honest review, so I'm glad I didn't spend any money on it. I think it will make a decent linen spray so at least there's that. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.
