Scent Profile
Top Notes: Calabrian Bergamot, Bulgarian Rose, Magnolia
Heart Notes: Jasmine, Rice, Florentine Iris, Virginia Cedar
Base Notes: Ambergris, Sandalwood, Apple, Musk
Opening (Bright & Airy)
The fragrance opens with a fresh burst of Calabrian bergamot, which is zesty, slightly tart, and uplifting. This citrusy brightness is softened by Bulgarian rose and magnolia, adding a delicate floral touch that feels breezy and sunlit rather than dense or heavy. Unlike the creamier and denser opening of the original Love in White, this one feels light and sparkling, setting a more carefree and refreshing tone.
Mid (Floral & Softly Aquatic)
As it transitions, jasmine and Florentine iris add a soft, powdery elegance, while the rice note introduces a subtle creamy texture, similar to the original but airier. The Virginia cedar gives it a fresh, slightly aquatic woody backbone, evoking the feeling of a summer breeze through a sunlit garden near the ocean. This phase feels feminine, romantic, and effortlessly sophisticated.
Dry-Down (Smooth, Woody, & Musky)
The base of Love in White for Summer is warm yet refreshing, with ambergris and sandalwood adding a sensual depth. A hint of apple gives it a unique crispness, adding a fruity, slightly green nuance that keeps it modern and youthful. The musk is soft and airy, ensuring the fragrance feels clean and natural rather than overly sweet or heavy.
