What Remains of Summer, Note by Note

02 What Remains of Summer pairs ripe mango and bright pomelo with ginger, dry amber and vetiver.

Mango

Ripe mango gives 02 its fruit-led character.

01 Before The Crown offers a different kind of fruit: cool pineapple and citrus struck against smoke and ashen birch. 02 keeps the emphasis on mango, with dry amber and vetiver beneath it.

Pomelo

Pomelo keeps the fruit bright beside the ripe mango.

For another citrus direction, 06 Sun Through Linen pairs juicy orange with bergamot and ginger. 08 Beyond The Horizon has bergamot and ginger with smoky black tea and amber woods.

Ginger

The spice in 02 is ginger, an edge against the fruit. 05 Plum Beneath Snow keeps its spice broader, beside syrupy plum over smoked oud and resin.

Dry amber

Dry amber sits beneath the mango, pomelo and ginger. It gives 02 its warmth without changing the fruit-led center.

07 The Last Golden Hour takes amber in another direction, with blonde tobacco, bitter orange, dried fruit, rum, tonka and vanilla.

Vetiver

Natural vetiver oil is distilled from the roots of a grass and has woody, earthy facets. In 02’s note list, vetiver sits beside dry amber beneath the fruit and ginger; the list describes the scent, not the formula.

A note names an effect more than an ingredient. The Note Pyramid Is a Marketing Diagram makes that case at length.
