Oriental Summer

Voters rate its longevity as moderate, though the small number of votes makes this only a loose guide. It is described as feminine, and its sweet, powdery character with a light oriental warmth suits warm weather.

It opens with mandarin orange, pepper and almond, where citrus freshness meets a spicy warmth. In the heart, iris, jasmine and heliotrope bring a floral, powdery softness. The base of vanilla, amber and sandalwood sweetens the scent and dries down woody and warm, while gourmand and chypre accords balance the sweetness.
