Canali Summer Night was a 2005. addition
to the already discontinued Canali fragrance line. As the name correctly
suggests, this fragrance is a typical summer flanker. Although, the name of the
perfumer is not mentioned, I can sense the touch of the Master Pierre Bourdon.
Summer Night is a Davidoff Cool Water subset with a pineapple fruity touch of
Mont Blanc Individuel. It opens with fresh, airy accord, accompanied by the citrus
notes, pineapple, spicy notes of nutmeg and cardamom, and transparent, but
strong leather accord (as Canali company is known for their leather
accessories). This leather accord is felt during the all stages of this
fragrance. The heart is made of pale orange flower and jasmine with some traces
of lily of the valley. The base is thin, consisted of cedar and gentle Tonka
bean. Everything in Summer Night is extremely balanced, and notes are perfectly
mashed together. Unfortunately, the composition is one-dimensional, flat and
thin. The performances are subpar.
Although, I personally really like
Summer Night and really reminds me of holidays on the sea, it is just a nice Cool Water
variation. Not worthy of current inflated prices.
A relaxing summer scent, young gentleman in white shirt by the sea drinking his morning machiatto or a glass of brisk white wine in the evening. Not serious nor cheerful, just in the good mood.
