By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is unusual for Oriflame — pear and basil sit in close proximity, the fruit's sweetness against the herb's green anise bite, with orange and lemon providing familiar citrus brightness alongside. Lavender dominates the heart in partnership with cardamom; rum adds soft boozy warmth while early amber begins building the drydown. The base is wide and dense: sandalwood, vetiver, cedar, and patchouli working with cashmeran and tonka across a mossy, woody warmth that lingers considerably. Midsummer Man has more depth than most of the house's catalog and rewards patience through its dry-down.
