Nostalgia in a Bottle
For starters, have you seen what private equity vc brand zombification has been done to the C&E website? Horrifying. I'll be the first to disclaim that my bottle could be suffering from age but one spray lasted about 4 hrs with moderate projection. The opening is freesia-heavy and dries into a white floral bouquet. The dry down has notes of dried papaya and dried apricot with a hint of wood. Pleasant, inoffensive, and clean in a way that I associate with 90's white florals. It reminds me of the gardenia bath and body spray but much classier and dressier, a cheerful, nostalgic scent meant to be paired with a Lilly Pulitzer dress and a Vera Bradley wristlet.

Fell for it hook, lime and sinker
The main character of Summer Hill is definitely floral!
The top note is of jasmin and freesia. These flowers are totally clear, white and a little bit of yellow. If you spray it on and walkoutside you should by rights be surrounded by dancing butterflies like a princess in a fairytale.
On the way to the heart note the bright floral fragrance becomes deeper and somehow darker due to the lime tree blossoms coming out to play. They are neither heavy nor distinctly sweet and not numbing at all.
The overall effect of this is that for my nose Summer Hill smells of lime-tree blossoms. This is the scent of a lime-tree avenue on a warm evening in june, when the trees art in full bloom. Just like this.
And that's why I love Summer Hill.
Later on, the fragrance becomes warmer and a little woody and the flowers are not quite as dominant anymore.
To me it is a fragrance of simple and contained elegance, romantic and well-groomed.

Summer Hill is quite noticeable and has a fairly good longevity, but it is never obtrusive or oppressive due to the natural and light character of its blossoms. This is one of my favourite fragrances for summer.
(Lime or linden-tree)
