So what’d be your Summer in a Bottle?

Prompted by flamingsword‘s post here: https://smellsgood.dreamwidth.org/51602.html. The same stipulations apply: time and expense are no object, and your creative olfaction reigns supreme.

So what would your Summer in a Bottle be like? What would it contain? Would it be an olfactory postcard? A love letter to a person—flesh-and-blood or fictional? An abstract fantasia? A snapshot of a memory? A simple collection of all the things you happen to like about summer?

I would want it to smell like the summertime hills where I grew up -- dried grasses like sweet hay, a hint of clean dust, and just a smidge of lakewater to round things out. A real atmospheric. If Fantôme's Vasilisa were less sweet, it would be close.
