Late Summer captures the scent of those last weeks of heat and sunshine before autumn closes in. When the fields are full of crops ready to harvest, the verges are high with crispy grasses and the earth is dry and sun-baked.

This spicy, complex scent is dominated by the exotic and sultry note of vetiver. Native to India, this fragrant grass has an unrivalled scent that is intriguing and earthy. We’ve also woven in the scent of petrichor, the pleasant smell of rain after a prolonged period of warm weather. The freshness is bergamot rind, geranium and cut grass give this scent an uplifting edge.
