Solar scent notes

Solar notes smell like warm skin in the sun: a soft, creamy, slightly floral glow. Salicylates, the materials behind many sunscreen scents, give the effect, often with a touch of coconut or ylang ylang.

Solar pairs with white florals, coconut and light musks, and it suits beach and summer blends. It works best in small amounts under the heart, where it warms a blend without making it heavy.
