About

L'Instant d'Un Ete opens with a bright, juicy burst of grapefruit and bitter orange, immediately refreshing without any sharpness. This citrus freshness quickly mingles with a heart of rich white florals, predominantly magnolia and jasmine, lending a warm, tropical creaminess. The drydown unveils a soft, inviting base of vanilla and benzoin, rounded out by a clean musk, creating a sophisticated yet approachable warmth that lasts beautifully on the skin.
