How to Say Bicycle in French is a fresh, herbaceous fragrance that brings Provence in summer to life – but with an unexpected twist. Instead of sweet or heavy florals, it offers a vibrant blend of fresh herbs: basil, rosemary, thyme, clary sage, lavender, and a touch of gentian oil. The opening is green, bright, and almost peppery, like walking through a sun-drenched herb garden just after it’s been watered.
Basil takes the lead at first, followed by soft lavender and aromatic sage that gradually melt into one another. A hint of damp earth and a clean, powdery, almost shaving-cream-like nuance rounds out the composition.
This scent feels like a warm, slightly dusty summer afternoon halfway through a long bike ride in the French countryside – pausing in the shade, catching your breath, and taking in the aromas of sun, herbs, and earth. A pure, green, and easy-to-wear fragrance with a refined, aromatic soul.
Synopsis: When an American couple uproots and leaves everything behind to start a new life in rural France, their rosy dreams are quickly replaced with something more lavender in hue—not bad, necessarily, just different. Every day presents a new hurdle for the ex-pats but each night rewards with a sense of accomplishment (usually celebrated over kir royales in the quaint village square up the road from their more-rustic-than-anticipated farmhouse). Friends don’t come easy but when they do, they come with wisdom, laughter, and some of the most memorable meals of their lives. How To Say Bicycle in French allows you to live vicariously through the adventures, misadventures, and heartwarming escapades of two people who prioritized health and happiness over wealth and security. As they learned from the well-dressed Frenchman who rode his squeaky bicycle through the village each evening, “L’amour est de tous les temps!”
