As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I knew there would be others like me who find L’Heure Bleue very melancholy (but beautifully so).
Another that I love, but definitely find very wistful, is vintage Dune. I’ve always found it strange that its name and marketing conjure images of sand, sun, and ocean, as I seem to want to wear it only during cooler and rainy days; it’s a very ‘grey’ fragrance to me. Alas, living in permanently drought-ridden Colorado, we don’t have many of those days, and my wearings have tapered off accordingly, even though I remain quite fond of it.
