French term or phrase: solaire
Hello,
Not quite sure about the use of "solaire" in the following as I know it can refer to tanning products....
Le parfum solaire qui vous accompagne durant tout l'été. Have personally never heard of a "tanning perfume" maybe just one you can wear in the sun?
thanks to all,
Anne

summer OR with sunkissed notes


Explanation:
I get the impression that this refers to perfume that suits the mood of summer. Yves Roché translates it as "with sunkist notes", and "as uplifting as a caress of sunshine".
