What does Été Indien smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. It reads more feminine to most voters, though it works as unisex.

It opens with lemon, bergamot and elemi resin, then moves into geranium and clary sage. The base is led by tolu balm, labdanum, styrax, vanilla and patchouli, and the citrus freshness gives way to a sweet, spicy, powdery and woody warmth. Laboratorio Olfattivo Kashnoir and Guerlain Shalimar Philtre de Parfum have a close profile.
