What does La Fin d'un Été smell like?

The opening sets the spicy bite of ginger against the citrus of bergamot, giving the scent a fresh start. In the heart, watermelon and plum bring a soft fruitiness while jasmine and lily of the valley carry the floral side. The base lays down a woody footing of vetiver and patchouli, softened by musk and amber. The fresh, citrusy character runs through to the end, with spice and wood staying in the background. Mes Bisous A Wondrous Flight and Floris 1976 have a close profile.
