Interesting, don't think it calls up White Linen for me, but then, haven't tried White Linen again recently. Anyway, just as well — you've saved a few $$$!

I was lured by the summery bottle and wanted to like this scent even before I read your review and mention of milky coconut, a favorite. But between Macy's and home I realized Azuree Soleil reminded me of my 85 year old mother's signature, White Linen, and couldn't get it off my arm fast enough. Perhaps it's a chemistry issue for me.

I guess I assume anything that mimics sweaty skin is a Tom Ford pick…hahaha. Not always the case, of course!

Funny, I thought the opposite: it was way more subtle than I'd expect from Tom Ford, and wondered if he really had anything to do with it!

Really unusual appeal with this stuff—it really smells like clean, salty skin sweating in the sun. The myrrh (what an interesting touch) mimics the bitter by-products released in human sweat (part of the reason myrrh was such a good masking agent in ancient burials). Despite it's subtlety and “Estee Lauder” dash of tropical-gardenia cocktail, “Azzuree” has Tom Ford's nose written all over it. It's one of the few tropical island scents that doesn't smell shower clean; its solar accord-esque vibe actually smells like sun on skin during a day by the shore.

So sorry! It is true that you get more sillage with the Eau Fraiche, although to my nose, only minimally more. Ah well, you've still got the body oil

Well, it's available, at least in tester form, I found it in Belk. And I've got to say I was disappointed. I have and love the body oil, but the perfume was way overpowering. It ended up smelling like a gardenia mash up on me. I think however that this is a case of body chemistry versus the scent being done wrong as the body oil is such a hit otherwise with me. Argh, and I was so excited too.

So glad you got some and you like it! I haven't tried the Creed on skin yet, only on a card, but on a card at any rate it didn't wow me.

OK, I finally got a generous sample from Neimans and gave it a full wearing today – really nice. The warm sand notes are quite genuine (even more so than Eau de Merveilles) and the coconut is really subtle. I think this is as good, if not better, than Virgin Island Water (the new Creed frag) and about a 1/4 of the price…Tom Ford rules!
