Areej Le Doré Siberian Summer is a unisex chypre that sets the cool bite of camphor, fir balsam and birch tar against green, resinous woods; it has been discontinued.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, with summer trailing behind. Leisure, evening and night-out wear lead, and while masculine is the top character vote, a fair share call it feminine.
It opens cool and citrusy with camphor, fir balsam, lime and bergamot, while birch tar adds a smoky edge. The heart of galbanum, champaca and jasmine brings a green, floral softness. The base of vetiver, amber, vanilla and oakmoss settles into a woody, resinous, slightly animalic dry-down.
