Smells Amazing
It smells amazing for a romantic date night, especially those chardonnay notes. If only there was some caramel scent added

Soft, clean, unremarkable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Great scent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wore this perfume a few times. I love the packaging it came in, very nice and expensive looking. The smell is amazing, very floral almost, I can definitely smell the amber and vanilla in it. Vanilla and amber are my favorite scents, I was glad this was a smell I would continue to wear. It does remind me of going on vacation and just relaxing somewhere. However, it didnt last all day like I had hoped it would. Maybe I need to put lotion on my skin first. I could smell it on my wrist but it’s not a scent that surrounds you. Wish it was a bit stronger, again not that it doesn’t smell good be cute it does. But besides that I truly do love the scent. I would recommend this to family and friends I received this as part of an educational promotion **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Sophisticated scent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product was received as part of an educational promotion. This has quickly become a new favorite scent for me. It’s warm and familiar, and the amber and argan come through immediately, however, I don’t get much vanilla bean or peach. Definitely has ocean and “vacation” vibes. It’s definitely a great gender neutral scent and my husband likes it as much as I do. I have also received several compliments since I started testing this product… it has passed the coworker test! I do wish the scent lingered around a bit longer, as while it has *some* staying power, I find it has mostly faded away about 5 hours later. Some of my other favorite fragrances last all day. The bottle and packaging are so pretty, I had so much fun taking photos for this review! Big fan :) **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

It’s nice!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always wanted to try a vacation perfume and smell the nostalgia everyone talks about so I was excited to get this! It definitely is nostalgic but I can’t think of what it reminds me of, even my husband came out and said “wow that IS nostalgic, what is it?!” and couldn’t pinpoint it either. The notes blend so seamlessly it’s hard for me to identify them individually, but I do get some of the champagne and cognac. It’s also very strong, I’m an oversprayer but you truly only need one spray of this. I sprayed my sweatshirt, wore it all day, took it off, put it back on briefly the next day to go outside and I could still smell it and honestly wouldn’t have had to respray. This is a good summertime scent but I could see this working as winter turns to spring as well, it’s not too “light” in terms of the notes. I’d definitely give this stuff a shot if you’ve creeped the company curiously like I did! **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

New Fav Day/Night Scent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Grand Cuvée is my new favorite scent. It smells rich, but not in an obnoxious “I’m trying too hard” way. It’s effortless, like the Vacation brand, but more mature than the Vacation edp.If you’re trying it for the first time, don’t judge it the second it hits your skin. The first moment is kind of whatever, but give it about 30 seconds and it settles into something completely different. It turns warm and smooth and way more expensive-smelling than what you paid for.The weirdest part is how good it smells when I’m sweating. I run every day, so I wasn’t expecting that at all. But when my sweat mixes with it, it weirdly gets better… I don’t know why, but it works. It turns into this warm, slightly sun-soaked smell that I’m lowkey obsessed with.It’s also incredibly versatile. I can wear it during the day without feeling like the scent is too overpowering for work, and then at night it somehow feels even better. The scent reminds me of bottled sunshine, like being somewhere tropical during the sunset.Overall, it’s rich, warm, settles beautifully, works with sweat, and doesn’t box you into daytime or nighttime. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to capture a more sophisticated, vacationey vibe. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.
