Rock Me! Summer of Love
Anna Sui's Rock Me! Summer of Love is a light, breezy floral fragrance created for warm spring days and sunny summer afternoons.

The base stays soft and clean, relying on sandalwood and a light tincture of rose to leave a delicate trail. This makes it an ideal pick for collectors of unique bottles or those seeking a fresh, airy scent that performs beautifully in humid conditions without cloying.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Anna Sui Rock Me! Summer of Love Review: A Carefree, Watery Floral”
The opening of Anna Sui's Rock Me! Summer of Love is a bright, refreshing splash of citrus and green herbs. The bergamot is clean and sharp, while hyssop adds an unusual, slightly bitter herbal quality that keeps the start from feeling like a generic lemon scent. Geranium provides a soft, green floral backing that feels breezy and light.
As the scent settles, the heart reveals its watery floral character. A clean water lily note dominates, paired with a subtle, juicy white peach that adds just enough sweetness without turning sticky or jammy. Freesia adds a light, peppery airiness to the middle phase, maintaining the scent's fresh, clean personality on the skin.
The dry down is very quiet and stays close to the body. A clean tincture of rose and soft sandalwood form the base, with a light touch of amber that adds a hint of warmth. The transition is smooth, shifting from a bright, watery floral into a clean, slightly woody skin scent that smells like high-end soap.
Performance is the main drawback here. You can expect about two to three hours of wear before the scent fades completely, and the sillage remains very intimate throughout its life. This makes it an excellent choice for hot, humid days when heavy fragrances become suffocating, but you will need to carry the bottle to reapply.
This scent is best suited for young enthusiasts or anyone who prefers subtle, airy florals for casual daytime wear. It fits perfectly with a simple cotton t-shirt, warm sunshine, and outdoor activities where you want a clean, refreshing vibe without drawing too much attention. It is a light, easy-going option that is hard to dislike.
If you want a strong, complex fragrance that lasts all day, you should skip this one. However, if you are looking for a fresh, watery peach and lily blend in a unique, guitar-shaped bottle for casual hot-weather wear, it is a fun and affordable addition to a summer rotation.

How does the scent change from the first spray to the dry down?+

Is this a good signature scent for someone?+
It works well as a daytime signature during the spring and summer. However, because the performance is weak and the base notes of sandalwood and amber are very light, it may lack the depth and warmth needed to carry through cold winter months.
