Terracotta Eau Sous Le Vent Guerlain for women

@ruxxy: at what point in my speech would I have offended someone?

On Fragrantica and on the official website of Guerlain are written two completely different things: the first one talks about a fragrance, the second one talks about a tanning oil. This is misleading.

I don't have "Terracotta Eau Sous Le Vent", but I've got "SOUS LE VENT" THE PERFUME, which is a totally different thing (it's missing in Fragrantica's database): this perfume was given to me at Christmas, so I'm sure of what I'm talking about.
Before writing my review about "Terracotta Eau Sous Le Vent" I searched my information directly into a perfume shop to clarify my doubts, and the saleswoman (a trusted person and a friend of mine) told me that this product is ALSO a tan enhancer, NOT ONLY a fragrance suitable for sunbathing, as you said.
If it were merely a fragrance, it couldn't have a hydrating and protecting action. If it were composed only of "alcohol, water and so on" (what is "so on"? Why aren't you more specific?) like the other perfumes, it couldn't be spread on all the body, because it would leave dry and damaged skin, especially in the most sensitive points... so this is more than a perfume.
Guerlain defines it "a delicious mist, a precious oil".
Did you know that even many essential oils do not leave an oily spot when dropped, because they volatilize quickly, but the same they are called "oils"?

Well, Rosesbecomeme wrote about an effect on melanin that sounds dangerous, and recommended to use it when it's cold. I don't think "Terracotta Eau Sous Le Vent" is dangerous, so I just told her that wearing a suntan lotion in winter does not make much sense, especially if she doesn't trust it.
Come on Ruxxy, if that sounds offensive to you, maybe you're a bit too sensitive, don't you?
I never doubted that "Terracotta Eau Sous Le Vent" has a strong, lovely smell. I just wrote the detailed information I got in a perfume shop by an insider: she's not only a professional, she also use Terracotta line on herself and she loves it.
You can disagree, but there is no reason to warm up so much and raise your shield to defend the other members from my review.

@ adriana.rizzati : I see that you don't have "Terracotta Eau Sous le Vent", but I do, so I can relate: this is NOT an oil, there is a polar liquid in it (like alcohol, water and so on), it doesn't leave an oily spot when it's sprayed and it has a STRONG smell of tiare and orange blossom

It is a hydrating fragrance, suitable for sunbathing because it doesn't irritate the skin.

And the name is a marketing strategy, to attract both new and old clients by mixing the name of two well known fragrances by Guerlain, "Terracotta Voile d'Ete" and "Sous le Vent".

So you'd better look for some more info before you offend and mislead people.

"Terracotta Eau sous le Vent" is not just a fragrance, but a soothing moisturizing oil.

The perfume "Sous le Vent" by Guerlain is totally different from the picture above: it is a golden bottle with a glass, transparent top, and it is not in the line "Terracotta".

Be careful: if you find "Terracotta Eau sous le Vent", you aren't only buying a perfume, but also a body oil to enhance the tan.

@ rosesbecomeme: using "Terracotta Eau sous le Vent" on your wrist when it's cold is a nonsense... if you don't trust it, you'd better look for the perfume.

I have Bronze Goddess and for me this doesnt smell the same way!!! This is much more flowery than Bronze Goddess while B.G. is more leathery! Its a pleasant and charming fragrance. Tiare at its most best I could say. I always liked tiare but in perfumes its always very intense and heavy while in this its like a breeze having captured the smell of the flower... <3

I was dissapointed? cause it smells exactly like Estee Lauder "Bronze Goddess"!

i adore this,everybody says the smell is pleasant

This is a gorgeous, longlasting Tiaré scent-not as artificial as the one from Yves Rocher. It's warm and smooth, the ideal summer (night) scent. I think it's a very interesting bottle.
This summer, another Tiaré scent from Guerlain was introduced - Tiaré Mimosa. It's lighter and more easily wearable at daytime.

I am no expert but this smelt woody to me. The Guerlain girl had no idea what was in it and was more concerned that it would ( worn when sunbathing) increase your tan by bringing melanin up to the surface. Despite it's lovely fragrance I'd run a mile because that sounds dangerous. Try it on your wrist while it's cold !
