What does Natsumeku / 夏めく smell like?

The citrus notes lead: tangerine, yuzu, mandarin orange and bergamot give it a fruity brightness. Neroli and rose otto keep the floral side soft, while artemisia, lavender and camphor add a green, cool edge. Oakmoss and orris butter ground it in a woody, lightly powdery base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters read it as more masculine than feminine, though a good number call it feminine. Hermès Eau de Cologne and Truefitt & Hill Mayfair have a close profile.
