Fragrance information:
Solonoi À bientôt — a fragrance for beautiful farewells. À bientôt Parfum / Extrait de Parfum is a niche unisex fragrance from the Argentine brand Solonoi.
The name À bientôt translates from French as “see you soon,” and this sentiment perfectly captures the character of the composition: the fragrance is fresh, elegant and slightly mysterious all at once.
The release is part of the Studio Collection and comes in a perfume, or extrait de parfum, concentration.
In mood, À bientôt brings together floral softness, woody depth and clean, sheer musk.
This is a fragrance without strict gender boundaries: on women’s skin, it may unfold lightly and airily, while on men’s skin it can become drier, spicier and woodier.
Its character will especially appeal to those who enjoy expressive compositions with a noticeable presence but prefer complex, layered development to straightforward sweetness.
À bientôt opens with a bright green-citrus accord.
Bergamot and lemon add sparkle, blackcurrant leaf creates a juicy, herbaceous nuance, while marigold and neroli soften the accord with sunny floral warmth.
In the first few minutes, the composition feels focused and energetic, allowing the fragrance to refresh an outfit beautifully even in cool weather.
As it develops, cyclamen, orange blossom, violet, tonka bean and musk emerge at the heart.
The floral heart does not become weightless: tonka adds creamy spice, violet brings powdery coolness, and musk reinforces the impression of smooth, well-cared-for skin.
In the base, the citrus sparkle gives way to amber, cedar, incense, sandalwood, vanilla and vetiver, giving À bientôt a warm, resinous-woody trail.
The fragrance is described as having very strong sillage, so it is best to start cautiously and gradually find a comfortable number of sprays for yourself and those around you.
À bientôt is suitable for evenings, special occasions, the cooler seasons and moments when you want to leave a distinctive impression.
Specific recommendations for applying it to skin and clothing are not available, nor are the year of release, the perfumer’s name or information about other concentrations.
If you are looking for a similar mood, consider Balmain Vent Vert, Jeanne Arthes Cotton Club Women and Edgardio Chilini Markalen.
Of these options, Balmain Vent Vert may be the closest in its green-floral expressiveness. However, À bientôt stands apart with a denser extrait presentation and a rich ambery-woody base.
