DESCRIPTION

Câlin d’Été, inspired by François Ozon’s Été 85, captures the fragile warmth of a youthful summer romance — bright, nostalgic, and edged with sorrow.

The fragrance opens with sunlit citrus: zesty bergamot and orange evoke the freedom and adrenaline of new love under a blue sky. These notes mirror the idyllic coast of Normandy, where the characters of Alexis and David meet — full of promise and discovery.

At its heart, a tender blend of iris, solar notes, and honey reflects the intimacy and joy of shared afternoons, the sweetness of connection, and the innocence of first love. But beneath that glow, the scent darkens: tobacco, leather, and amber emerge — echoing the emotional weight and intensity that builds between the two boys as secrets deepen and emotions turn turbulent.

As the story unfolds, soft vanilla and musks melt into warm ambergris, adding sensuality and a quiet ache — a reminder of love’s beauty and its inevitable fading. Earthy cypress and patchouli ground the composition in memory, closure, and longing.

Câlin d’Été is a scent of sunlight, skin, and goodbye — a bittersweet embrace of what was, and what cannot stay.
