Miracle Summer (2003)
by Lancôme

It seems that each year, Lancôme gets a new Miracle Summer version, but they really are all the same only they differ in box presentation. I have bottles for the 2004, ‘05 and ’06 versions and they all seem to be the exact same scent, I also tested this one on other people just for kicks.
The scent itself is very fresh, starts with a burst of citrus and flowers that are pretty and calming, nothing too strong and nothing too annoying, in fact it’s very nice.
The midnotes come in very quickly to sport a cool take on some more flowery bits and mainly roses that are presented here like a summery chilly draft that caresses the skin and soothes the heat, so the name is fits with the whole life of the scent.
The longevity is a bit poor, but that’s ok for such a summery and soft fragrance I guess. It can all be forgiven because it’s very attractive. I think it’s bottle worthy.
People who have liked scents like EL’s Pleasures, Fendi’s Fantasia, Givenchy’s Insensé Ultramarine for Her and the freshest versions of the wave of fruity-florals will like this one very much. It can seem a bit too soapy at the basenotes for some.
