What does Summer by Kenzo smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Most describe its character as feminine.
It opens with bergamot and lemon, a citrusy, green freshness. In the heart, jasmine, almond milk, mimosa, violet, lily of the valley and freesia bring a creamy, powdery softness. Cedar, musk and amber lay a woody, lightly sweet base. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Jasminora and Sisley L'Eau Rêvée d'Eliya have a close profile.
