What does Matin d'Été smell like?

The opening is bright and sharp: lemon zest, bergamot and kumquat. In the heart, passion fruit, hibiscus and cape gooseberry bring a fruity, floral sweetness. The base of vanilla, cedarwood and white musk softens everything into a creamy, slightly powdery, woody finish.

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good. Most pick it for leisure and daytime wear, though night out, business and evening get votes too. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, with a light, lively character.
