Our take

Summer Hill opens with a bright, dewy slap of grass and white flowers, all fresh and slightly soapy. The peach and orange blossom come in quickly, sweet but not syrupy, like a slice of fruit laid on a bed of wildflowers. This is not a heavy floral; it wears like a cotton sundress fluttering in a midday breeze. The green notes keep it honest, while a faint animalic warmth lurks underneath, a whisper of skin that keeps the whole thing from floating away into sheer perfume. As it dries, the woodsy base anchors it just enough, though the whole affair is over in a couple of hours. Longevity is a real letdown, and sillage is a shy whisper, never more than an arm’s length. But for those 90 minutes, it is utterly charming.

This is a snapshot of a meadow in June, pollen dust on your sandals and a basket of peaches in the shade. It is natural enough to feel like a real garden, not synthetic candy. Mainstream in the best way, it suits anyone who loves a gentle white floral for daytime wear. Think garden parties, brunch with iced tea, a lazy Sunday after a morning shower. Skip it if you need your fragrance to last through dinner or announce itself from across the room. It is too soft for evening and too spring-kissed for winter coats. A delicate beauty with a short season, but when you wear it, you understand why people still vote for it.
