The story behind the bottle.
Indian Summer by Houbigant, launched in 1972, is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that captures the essence of warm, spicy notes mixed with green and woody accords. The composition opens with fresh and warm spices like cinnamon, leading to a heart of aldehydes and rose, before settling into a base of honey and woodsy undertones. This fragrance is a proof of Houbigant's legacy of creating lasting scents that evoke specific moods.
Indian Summer blooms best with a single spray on pulse points. The cinnamon top notes are most prominent in the first hour but give way to a honeyed warmth that lasts throughout the day.
