A Cool Break Under the Sun: Summer Tree
"Sitting under the shade of a tree is the greatest luxury in the world, because there time stands still and only the wind speaks." (Mehmet Murat İldan). Summer is a feast when nature is at its most generous and colors become the brightest. But in the scorching heat of summer, we all instinctively seek shelter. The shade of a large tree with branches full of fruits, a cool breeze and an ice-cold slice of fruit in our hands… Summer Tree is the scent of this "siesta" moment. It is a blissful escape that blends the enthusiasm and energy of summer with the peace of a tree shade.
Yuzu (Citrus junos), the leading character of this fragrance, is the hidden treasure of the Far East. In Japanese culture, Yuzu is not just a fruit, it is a tool of healing and purification. "Yuzu baths" (Yuzuyu), made by soaking in hot water on winter days, relax the body and soul. Yuzu's scent is a unique profile, deeper than lemon, sweeter than grapefruit, and more aromatic than tangerine. On the other hand, watermelon has been a symbol of summer, abundance and refreshment for thousands of years. Even in ancient Egyptian tombs, images of watermelons can be found to quench thirst during travels. These two "watery" treasures meet at Summer Tree and build a bridge of refreshment between civilizations.
ScentlinqPro's Summer Tree fragrance begins its story under a "fruit waterfall". Yuzu, apple and watermelon in the top notes make an incredibly juicy, lively and appetizing introduction to the scent. The emphasis on Yuzu tea here softens the citrus tang, giving the scent a sophisticated, aromatic and "drinkable" freshness. When the crunchy, sweet and watery texture of watermelon is combined with the crunchy energy of the apple, a childlike joy awakens in you. This opening is like the first sip of an ice-cold fruit cocktail on a hot July afternoon; refreshing, thirst-quenching and smile-inducing.
When we move to the heart of the scent, that is, the shady branches of that tree, energetic fruit notes give way to calmness. Lavender in the middle note emits a "frequency of peace" that balances the high energy of the fruits. The aromatic, clean and herbaceous scent of lavender symbolizes the coolness brought by the summer wind. This transition describes that sweet moment, that "summer lazy daze", when you lie down in the hammock and relax after running around on the beach.
As the sun begins to set, we get to the roots of the scent. Patchouli and tonka bean in the base notes create the "Tree" character that gives the scent its name. Patchouli carries the moist and rich scent of the soil; It closes with that warm, straw-like sweetness reminiscent of tonka beans, freshly mowed grass and vanilla. This finale symbolizes the safe warmth you feel when you lean against the tree trunk and the serenity of being in the lap of nature.
Summer Tree is the perfect choice for any space where positive energy and joy is needed. Children's clothing stores, energetic advertising agencies, poolside areas of summer hotels or enjoying the balcony of your home… This scent whispers to everyone who enters the place: "Summer is here, relax and enjoy life." A summer dream that is both dynamic and serene, combining the joy of fruits and the peace of the land.
