i do love some of summery take on classic fragrances, like Dior's j'adore été.
and Burberry's Burberry Summer is now officially on my wishlist.
It's light, delicate floral scent is absolutely perfect for summer days,
and lovely on cold winter days too.



the notes listed are:
Citrus, Green Apple, Water Lily, Freesia, Rose, Woods, White Musk, and Moss.

Citrus is probably in the base notes, as the scent stays on my skin even after a couple hours.
it's interesting how they managed to combine 2 fruits, 3 scents and 3 earthy notes in this perfume.
so far, i'm loving it, and if it passes my morning after test, then i'm definitely going to get it.



That being said, as i am writing this blog i sprayed a bit of ROCHAS' poupée onto a handkerchief, and the flowery scent (i think it's the gardenia and jasmine), although nice, CAN be slightly overpowering.
so, definitely be careful with this one, as it is not for the faint-hearted, even though the name suggests a cute scent.



Pineapple and hazelnut are listed amongst orange blossom, gardenia, green jasmine, tuberose, sandalwood, benzoin (huh?? seriously?), amber and balms.
i'm a little unsure of how benzoin really smells, but this perfume can smells a bit plastic-y, honnestly speaking.
