What does Eau d'Été smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it leaves a quiet trail through the day. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most. Its character is mostly voted feminine, though a good number call it modern.

The opening is led by the three citrus notes, while fruity and green touches keep it light. In the heart, jasmine absolute adds a floral softness and cinnamon a spicy warmth. The base of musk, labdanum absolute and benzoin sweetens it slightly and settles it onto a soft ground.
