Short-lived fun
Like any Margiela fragrances in my opinion, they are overrated. I was very excited to try one of the most popular summer cocktails as a scent, only for it to disappoint after like 10 minutes.

It starts off very promising, truly like an Aperol Spritz, bitter with zingy orange rind, a little spicy and earthy. But after it fades it just becomes this generic orangey-patchouli thing that im not into, the dry down just smells like Orange x Santal to me which I find okay but boring, its nice but nothing new or exciting. If you look at it from another POV though it smells a little like earl grey with a punch of lemon and orange which is fine. Not worth my money though.

Bright summer orange
Opens with a bright orange scent and then quickly adds in spices and tea. I get the cardamom and patchouli in the dry down. Like all MMR fragrances, it's not a beast mode longevity monster, but it's not meant to be. It's a very pleasant, easy-to-wear summer citrus scent that will be perfect for days outside where you don't want to choke everyone out but rather smell clean and bright.

Odd fragrance that I had to have
This fragrance is definitely very out of my wheelhouse as someone who loves fruity florals and gourmands. I wanted a summer fragrance that was meant for a cool girl, was catching to everyone around me on vacation, but would also keep me smelling clean in the summer heat. This fragrance is all of those. The strong wood and citrus combine to create something really sharp and beautiful, similar to a fig note. The only comparison I had to this in my mind were artisanal soaps and candles.

A cheerful but fleeting burst of Fanta
For the first hour it smells exactly like orange Fanta. Afterwards it transforms into a vivid recreation of Nivea cream on bare skin. After four hours it’s completely gone. My partner laughed his ass off while accompanying me on this journey (especially after hearing the price).

Frankly I am appalled at the utter lack of lasting power and sillage on both this and Afternoon Delight . Perhaps at this price point we are allowed to ask Maison Margiela for a bit more seriousness in their approach to their work.

If you like the initial vibe on this you might want to try Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria - to me they seem to evoke a similar atmosphere. While Bergamote Calabria is no beast performer I recall it lasting longer than Never-ending Summer.

Fresh, Orange, Citrus. Perfect Summer
Habe den Duft auf Parfumo ersoukt und ich bin extrem überrascht. Das Rating kann ich so nicht verstehen. für mich ist der Duft deutlich mehr als eine 7.3. Er riecht extrem schön fruchtig, süß, gleichzeitig aber auch etwas bitter. Nicht zu sehr "voll ins Gesicht" sondern angenehm. Wer auf der Suche nach einem Duft mit Orange ist, wird hier nicht enttäuscht.
Für das Preis auf jeden Fall eine Kaufempfehlung und auch Blind Buy Sicher meiner Meinung nach :)

If this scent is neverending summer, then I feel like all citrus scents can be called that.

This is what I smell from the glass as I sip an Aperol; I'm impressed by the realism. Wouldn't wear myself but would like on others.

Surprisingly lasting peeled orange. Just an orange. There is a dry bitter herbal undertone, but still dominated by an orange peel.

A nice, lightly boozy orange scent that turns a little powdery/makeup-y on drydown for me, but in a nice way!

It smells a little bitter and citrusy but in the best of ways. The spices come out in the dry down, specifically the tea and cardamom.

Photo realistic orange peel on paper. On my skin and on dry down, aperol is more obvious. Wish it maintained the photorealistic orange peel.
