Saint Hilaire Private Blue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Private Blue opens with Mandarin, Lavender, and Apple, settles into a heart of Violet and Rainwater, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Saint Hilaire's Private Blue carries a Favourite verdict, an aquatic-led wear.

This is a proper hidden gem, delivering far more than its price tag suggests. Fresh, clean, and surprisingly sophisticated, it's a solid choice that punches well above its weight, even if some critics remain unconvinced.

About

Imagine a splash of crisp green apple and zesty mandarin, mellowed by soft lavender. As it settles, a clean, watery violet note emerges, reminiscent of fresh rain, before drying down to a subtle, refined base of warm amber, dry cedar, and a hint of smooth leather. It's an aquatic journey with a gentle, inviting embrace.
