Aurum Summer opens with a vibrant burst of apple, pear, bergamot, and mandarin orange, creating a juicy, ripened fruit accord that feels both tropical and refreshing. The middle notes of jasmine, rose, and osmanthus add a sweet, powdery floral depth, while the base of musk, sandalwood, cedar, and vanilla gives an enveloping, soft warmth that lingers pleasantly. The fragrance evolves into a distinctive, slightly animalic musk that some describe as bold and intense—reminiscent of a tropical chypre or a more glamorous, continental take on fruity gourmands. It performs well in summer, with moderate to noticeable sillage, and is universally seen as a standout for special occasions rather than daily wear. The bottle itself is striking, featuring real sea shells inside a clear, blue outer layer, making it as much a collector’s item as a scent.
