Launched in 2025 by Maison Martin Margiela and crafted by perfumer Christophe Raynaud, Never-ending Summer is a citrus gourmand fragrance that captures the essence of an eternal summer. The composition begins with bitter orange and Aperol, creating a vibrant and refreshing top note. As it evolves, pepper and Earl Grey tea add a subtle spiciness and warmth, while cardamom and nutmeg introduce a fresh, aromatic complexity. Vetiver, cedarwood, and patchouli ground the scent with earthy undertones, while Peru balsam and cashmeran provide a rich, warm finish that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for an even distribution. The bright citrus notes will dominate in the first hour but give way to a rich, earthy warmth as the base notes settle in. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its vibrant freshness can shine.
