Classique Summer 2010

I bought this on a whim when it came out because I love most of the notes. I was not dissppointed! It seriously smells like a warm sunny day. Sweet & fresh & feminine. Can't wait until spring to wear it!

I like the dry-down better than the opening. The opening is sharp citrus, and green with flower notes. Then later the vanilla (not very noticeable) softens these notes a little and it becomes more pleasant and well rounded. Needless to say, it is very fresh and is better suited for warm weather.

A feminine scent suitable for summer. If you like light floral scents this one is perfect. Does not last much though.

A nice light slightly powdery smell, shame it doesn't last.

I'm reviewing Classique Summer 2010 without a comparison seeing that I've never tested the original Classique, however I do intend to in the near future. Summer flankers tend to smell the same every year, however in this case, I'd certainly consider wearing this due to its somewhat original and refreshing composition. Classique Summer 2010 opens with a mild, citrusy soap scent. The fragrance is polite and natural in a way that makes it very suitable for Summer. The heart tends to give way to a more floral approach, with delicately feminine jasmine, iris, ylang ylang and lily of the valley coming to the fore. I should perhaps add that this fragrance is supposedly alcohol-free. Despite my perfume knowledge I'm not exactly certain of how much that differs from a fragrance with alcohol, however it could suggest that this fragrance may be less irritable on sensitive skin types. There is a beautiful lightness about this fragrance that makes it so enjoyable. It's a mixture of powdery florals, a touch of soapy citrus and sugary vanilla. Classique Summer 2010 has quite impressive lasting strength, so I can guarantee that it will leave you feeling refreshed all day long during the warmer weather.
