1881 Fraicheur d'ete
Fragrance notes
Character
Walking past a garden where someone has just snipped a handful of tomato stems, you get that sharp green snap mixed with bright mandarin and bergamot. The opening feels alive and slightly tangy from the rhubarb, more backyard than boutique. It is fresh without trying to shock you, a clean citrus that carries a leafy bite.
Frangipani and violet soften the edges once the initial sparkle settles. The flowers stay light and airy, never thick or cloying, and the violet adds a gentle powder that sits close to the skin. There is a quiet sweetness here that keeps the green notes from feeling too sharp.
Sandalwood and tonka bean give the blend a smooth, creamy finish. The wood is mellow rather than dry, and the tonka brings a gentle warmth that stops the fragrance from feeling watery. It stays aromatic and fresh spicy throughout, with a fruity shimmer that never tips into candy.
This is a scent for warm mornings on a terrace when the air is still cool but the sun is already strong. Wear it when you want something green, floral, and easy that matches a calm day outside. It suits anyone who enjoys a fresh citrus that slowly turns creamy and soft.
