Andrea Maack Solstice is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Julien Rasquinet. Solstice opens with Sea Water and Watermelon, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Sinfonide and Amber. Andrea Maack's Solstice carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it summer aquatic. Some get refreshing, realistic watermelon and sea notes; others get wet wipes, hairspray, or even wet socks. It's divisive but those who love it are obsessed.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and clean profile, make it suitable for casual wear and even office settings where a light touch is appreciated. It's too casual for formal events, but great for day dates or summer activities.

About

Solstice opens with a surprisingly fresh, green watermelon, leaning more towards rind than syrupy sweetness, backed by salty sea air. This watery freshness then gives way to a gentle floral heart of jasmine, violet, and lily of the valley, adding a soft, clean dimension. The base settles into a modern, airy amber, maintaining that cool, aquatic feel without becoming heavy or overly sweet.
