There's a particular light at the end of August — golden, slightly tired, unbearably beautiful. Somewhere Late Summer is made of it. Lavender opens the fragrance with a soft, familiar sigh — sun-dried, not fresh-cut. Sandalwood follows, warm and smooth, carrying the accumulated heat of long days. Cumin adds an unexpected earthiness — something almost skin-like, intimate — while patchouli grounds the whole composition in dark, loamy soil. This is nostalgia with its shoes off.
