What does Un Bel Amour d'Été smell like?

The scent centres on white flowers: magnolia, gardenia, champaca and ylang-ylang absolute blend into a soft, creamy bouquet. Bourbon vanilla and ambrette add sweetness, while Indian sandalwood gives a woody base. Fruity and spicy touches stay in the background.

Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is chosen mostly for leisure and nights out. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. It leans feminine in how it reads, though it is presented as unisex. Byredo Casablanca Lily and Widian Luban have a close profile.
