Our take

Classic Summer opens with rhubarb, grapefruit, and birch leaf. The citrus is brisk and the rhubarb adds a tart edge that keeps the start from feeling flat. Birch leaf brings a green touch that moves the opening toward the outdoors without leaning into sharpness. Mate and rosemary follow in the heart, with the rosemary lending a clean herbal tone and the mate adding a dry, slightly grassy character that steadies the fruit.

The base carries patchouli, tonka bean, and sandalwood. Patchouli here is earthy and mild, not heavy or muddy. Tonka bean introduces a smooth sweetness that rounds the blend, while sandalwood contributes a creamy, soft wood that sits close to the skin. Together they create a warm, woody foundation that feels natural rather than polished. The aromatic and fresh spicy accords weave through this stage, giving the drydown a steady herbal lift.

Salty and marine facets appear alongside the woods, suggesting open air and warmth without relying on heat. The fruity and sweet notes stay present but never loud, and the green thread from the top carries through to the base. It suits daylight in comfortable weather, when the air feels clear and the day is active. The woods and herbs keep it grounded as the sweetness
