Summer 24
Fragrance notes
Character
Fennel and blood orange hit first, a sharp almost medicinal citrus cut with the herbal snap of olibanum. It is an opening that feels like cracking a green twig in a sunlit grove, green and bitter and then sweetened by grapefruit and Sicilian lemon. That anisic thread weaves through the whole composition, anchored by coriander, bay, and a faint boozy warmth from rum and nutmeg. The heart turns spicier, but never heavy, with Champaca’s floral dust and Tunisian neroli pulling it back toward a luminous summer softness. On skin, the hay and Haitian vetiver in the base arrive quietly, a woody, slightly dusty dry down that smells like crushed herbs left to warm on a stone wall.
This fragrance feels entirely natural, almost artisanal in its refusal to sweeten or synthetic-ize a single note. It is an aromatic sketch rather than a full painting, which is both its charm and its weakness. Longevity clocks in at barely two and a half hours, and sillage is a whisper. For that price, you are paying for a brief, beautiful vision of summer that disappears before you have fully enjoyed it. Wear it on a Sunday morning with linen, a picnic in a field, a quiet afternoon when you want to smell like the earth just after a nearby storm. Skip it if you need a scent that lasts through dinner or announces itself across a room. This one is an intimate secret, lovely while it lasts.
