Notes Indiana sweet corn, honeysuckle, tiger lily, fresh blueberries, hot summer air

Description The corn piled up at the corner stand looks like it’s smiling at you, its just-off-white teeth in juicy, deliberate rows as if to prove the existence of a higher power with a passion for vegetable design. “A good crop is knee high by the 4th of July,” the man winks as he slips you an extra cob outside the range of your mother’s watchful eye. You hold it gingerly, like a baby, shielding it from the hot summer air—this holiday, this country, nothing could mean as much to you in this exact moment as what’s in your arms, the honeysuckle kissing your ankles, the fresh blueberries you’re not allowed to eat in the car for fear of stains.

Leo Y. ★★★★★

Smelled it on a paper strip first and nearly laughed out loud — that hot summer air note actually nails the feeling of a humid farmers market in July. The sweet corn is surprisingly wearable with the blueberries, not cloying at all, and it lasted a solid six hours on my skin.

Brian ★★★★★

The corn note is so unusual but it works—this smells like a humid July afternoon at a farm stand, sweet and green at once. I get the blueberry and tiger lily weaving through, and it somehow stays light instead of cloying.

George ★★★★★

The honeysuckle comes through clear and pretty next to that corn note, which sounds odd but works perfectly. I keep catching wisps of hot summer air and blueberries hours later; it's genuinely unlike anything else I've tried.
