Novellista Summer Flare is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Daniel Visentin. Summer Flare opens with Grapefruit, Melon, Peach, and Mint, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Pink Pepper, and Sunflower, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vanilla. Novellista's Summer Flare carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This is a juicy, minty summer freshie that smells good even if it's a bit overpriced. Reviews are mixed on whether it's totally unique or a bit generic, and performance could be better for the money.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it great for casual wear and sports, while moderate sillage and aquatic nature mean it won't be offensive in an office. It's a bit too light and playful for formal events or a truly romantic date night.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of fresh grapefruit, sweet peach, and watery melon, alongside an unexpected but delightful spearmint kick. The heart introduces a soft jasmine and a subtle hint of pink pepper, adding a refined floral touch without overwhelming the fruitiness. It settles into a warm, airy base of musk, cedar, and a whisper of vanilla, maintaining its fresh and slightly sweet profile throughout.
