Guerlain Terracotta Voile d'Été carries the coolness of mint and bergamot into a floral heart of ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose, a sweet, powdery women's scent that has been discontinued.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

What does Terracotta Voile d'Été smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Voters place it evenly across spring, summer and fall, and less so in winter. Evening, daily wear and leisure lead the occasions; most voters read it as feminine, and some call it classic.
Mint and bergamot open on a fresh note. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose and white lily build a floral body. The base of vanilla, heliotrope and iris sweetens it and softens it into powder, while pear and carnation add fruity and spicy touches. Earthy and smoky accords stay in the background. Guerlain Quand Vient l'Été and L'Heure de Nuit have a close profile.
