What does Summer Time smell like?

It opens with the fruity sweetness of blackberry and orange, kept in check by the sharp green edge of galbanum. The heart turns to a floral garden of bluebell, peony, rose and wisteria, and the base of mahogany, musk and tonka bean softens everything with a gentle sweetness. The overall impression is fresh and sweet, with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity is rated good, while sillage is weak, so the scent stays close to the skin. Most voters pick daytime and leisure wear, followed by the office. Fragonard Violette and Dior Holy Peony have a close profile.
