Wonderful fragrance! As the name suggests, it’s a summer perfume with excellent longevity. I perceive it as more floral and fruity than anything else, very delicious!
I owned the original and adored it; whenever it ran out, I’d buy the largest bottle until they stopped making it. I hunted for it online a month ago, and I don’t know if I’ve changed or if they reformulated it so much that I no longer like it at all. It has a resemblance, but now it has an unpleasant note I simply can’t stand. I’ll give it to my mother when she visits, as she still enjoys it and says she can’t detect any difference.
I had the old version and I loved it; whenever it ran out, I bought the largest bottle until I stopped finding it. A month ago I looked for it online and I do not know if I changed or they reformulated so much that I do not like it at all now. It has a resemblance, but now it has an unpleasant point I cannot stand. I will give it to my mother when she comes, because she still likes it and says she does not notice a difference.
The old version in the matte leaf bottle was something else entirely: super sophisticated, noble, and eager to embrace whoever wore it. The new one smells similar, but the difference is noticeable.
It’s not just the bottle that has changed compared to the 1992 version; the juice is entirely different. The original Parfum d’été was a green floral with hints of wet, acidic wood, an ultra-rich and narcotic perfume based on the abstract idea of somewhat domesticated nature; it was a fragrance that, viewed with the distance years provide, had nothing to do with what is today understood as a summer cologne. In truth, Parfum d’été was never a cologne, but a heavy perfume that exploited the starting point of summer, the green and the natural, to represent a kind of forest witch, a swarm of florivegetal notes that made you dizzy just by smelling the cap. The current version, whose only beauty lies in the stylised bottle, has little in common with the previous one. The idea is similar, but they smell different; the latter is much more watery, whining, and transparent. Besides, it’s a more banal perfume. At some point in the dry-down, it comes closest to resembling the original: a burst of sharp green notes and sulphurous ones, on one hand the green of wet richness, on the other the very noticeable muguet, and also a young hyacinth that is somewhat tamed, tasked with giving it that sense of speed. This mixture of ingredients also brings me memories of slightly older vegetation that take me back to the original, memories of chamomile, linden, hay… However, there is something I dislike greatly about this fragrance, and it is how artificial it feels. A very fake muguet, even knowing it always is; the current of sharp greenness rather recalls the effervescent body of a powder detergent, a hyacinth with a laundry softener aftertaste, or a linen spray. Anyone who smelled the original would undoubtedly understand what I mean, because if there was one thing the authentic Parfum d’été smelled of, it was bottled nature, a very rich, fatty one, with a touch of sex. You might like it or not, but it smelled like something expensive. It is also true that perfumes used to smell expensive by rule. In this version, things go wrong when the peony appears, which strangely reminds me of a reed diffuser. Here, as one might expect, it has that tone, that synthetic aftertaste of home air fresheners based on pink flowers; moreover, when mixed with the green notes and the jasmine, it floods the fragrance with a terribly fake acidulated sweetness, with no harmony at all. The 2002 version of Parfum d’été seems to me a capped and lobotomised perfume, a shadow of what it once was; besides, I find it tiresome, monotonous, and with synthetic notes of a pink-green tone that I find utterly annoying to keep feeling, especially since its longevity is not bad either. One of those cases, and I’ve lost count, of a disastrous reformulation.
How beautiful! It smells clean, a fragrance you simply cannot dislike. I owned it in my youth (20 years ago); the bottle was textured, with a matching cap, and heavy. The version I found is the one with the large leaf. To me, it’s the same fragrance, divine! It lasts a long time on the skin and on clothes. When I put it on, people compliment it.
Not only does the bottle change compared to the 1992 version, the juice is nothing to do with it. The old Parfum d’Été was a green floral with hints of wet, acidic wood, ultra-greasy and narcotic, starting from a somewhat domesticated nature; over the years it had nothing to do with what we now understand as summer cologne. In truth it was never cologne, but a heavy perfume that took advantage of summer, the green and the natural to represent a forest witch, a swarm of florivegetal notes that left you dizzy just smelling the cap. The current version, whose only beauty is the stylised bottle, has little to do with it. The idea is similar, but they smell different: the latter is more watery, querulous and transparent. Moreover, it is more banal. At some point in the middle phase it gets closer to the original, an explosion of sharp green notes and sulphurous: on one hand the green of wet richness, on the other the very notable muguette, and a tamed young hyacinth that gives speed. It brings me memories of aged vegetation, chamomile, linden, hay… However, what I dislike most is how artificial it feels. A very false muguette, even knowing it always is; the sharp green current recalls the effervescent body of a powder detergent, the hyacinth to fabric softener or bed linen spray. Whoever smelled the original will catch what I mean: it smelled of bottled nature, rich, greasy and with a little bit of sex. You could like it or not, but it smelled like an expensive thing. Before perfumes smelled like an expensive thing as a rule. Here the matter twists with the peony, which is strange that it does not remind me of a reed diffuser. It has that synthetic tone of rose-flower-based diffusers; when mixed with the green and jasmine, it floods the fragrance with a falsish acidulated sweetness, without harmony. The 2002 version seems a capped and lobotomised perfume, a shadow of what it was, tedious, monotonous and with pink-green synthetic notes that is a genuine pain to feel non-stop, besides the longevity is not bad either. One of those cases of disastrous reformulation.
This perfume was one of my first loves. I used it for many years during my adolescence until I could no longer find it. A few years later, I saw they had relaunched it and I couldn’t resist buying it. I did it blindly, without thinking it could have changed so much. I tried it and no, I didn’t like it. There was no way. It sat in my wardrobe for years and years, but despite trying, there was no way. I eventually gave it away. It’s a pity that classic perfumes like this are reformulated.
Parfum d’été… I adore this perfume! Kenzo is a floral genius. To be honest, the first version didn’t appeal to me because it had an ingredient that felt scratchy to my nose. When the new version came out… I fell completely in love and surrendered to its exquisite scent: fresh, green, youthful, authentic, subtle yet at the same time lasting and jovial. When I wear it, I feel refined but discreet; it’s not very showy, but people notice it for its finesse and subtlety. It’s not easy to acquire as it was discontinued in Mexico, like many other perfumes from my collection, so I treasure it; it’s not for daily use. Its trail lasts until the end of the day, but it remains subtle.
Parfum d’été! I love this perfume! Kenzo is a floral genius. Although to be honest, the first version did not delight me because it had some ingredient that felt raspy to my nose. When the new one came out, I fell completely in love and surrendered to its exquisite aroma: fresh, green, young, authentic, subtle yet permanent and jovial. When I use it I feel refined but discreet; it is not very showy, but people notice it for its finesse. It is not easy to acquire as it was discontinued in Mexico, so I treasure it much; it is not for daily use. Its trail is durable until the end of the day, but it is subtle.
The Little Leaf. After using Eau de Dolce Vita and failing to find it in my local perfumeries, I decided to try something similar in freshness: Kenzo D’été. It’s so green, so rich, and fresh, yet with a couple of higher notes than Eau de Dolce Vita in terms of freshness, in my opinion, with more intensity. Beautiful.
I bought it because it is a classic and I wanted it in my collection, I bought it without testing. It is fresh, green, herbal, for spring and summer, for daytime. Personally it is a fresh clean scent like freshly cut grass. It is very similar to another I own, the Issey Miyake (classic/grey cap); not so much in the opening, but in the dry-down it is identical, except that the Issey has better projection and lasts longer on the skin. I would not buy it again, on my skin the fragrance lasts two hours.
Rich, fresh, sweet. But in its dry-down I find it very similar to Narciso Pure Musc or For Her EDT… but softer. In any case, for me it was a very pleasant surprise as I bought it blind and finally I found a soft musky perfume for summer, which gives that clean, creamy but fresh scent that does not oppress.
Green as I want you green! I cannot be impartial about the perfume of my life, my favourite above all others. I first had it around ’96; the old leaf-shaped bottle was beautiful and hid a wonder. It was a gift from my father for my birthday; we went to the perfumerie together and I chose it from all of them. I felt like a teenage girl with personality and elegance wearing it, a true privilege of those years. It became my favourite alongside Eden by Cacharel. It is very green; I feel it creamy every time I apply it, it envelops me, and on my skin I feel it all day, even the next day before showering. My untrained nose recognises the lilies and green notes, not so much the sandalwood listed in the description. It is a different, uncommon perfume; if you do not want to go unnoticed but without such opulence, this is for you. One of the best by Kenzo.
Green that I want to be green! What can I say about this perfume? I cannot be impartial about the perfume of my life, my favourite above all others. The first time I had it was around 1996, the old leaf bottle, beautiful, hiding a marvel. It was a gift from my father for my birthday; we went together to the perfumerie and I chose it from all they showed me at that moment. I felt like a teenager with great personality and elegant using it, truly a privilege for those years, perhaps that is why it became my favourite perfume along with Eden by Cacharel. It is a very green perfume, I feel it creamy every time I apply it, its aroma envelops me. On my skin I feel it all day, even until the next day before the shower. My untrained nose manages to recognise the lilies and green notes, not so much the sandalwood attributed in the description. It is a different, uncommon perfume. If you do not want to go unnoticed but without such opulence, this could be your perfume. One of the best by Kenzo!
I had read negative reviews and wanted to smell it; I own the previous version, so beautiful, green floral and earthy. This one is very similar to the original, but it lacks that earthy touch that made it so different, like a garden soaked in summer drying under intense sun, where you smell flowers, leaves, and damp earth, a slightly wild garden. This version lacks that touch, having 7 out of 18 notes from the original; without some ingredients, it is lighter, a more civilised garden. The similarity is 80%, and with current reformulations I cannot complain. They could have made this version and called it Kenzo d’ete légère, made for those for whom the nineties version felt heavy, and continued selling the original.
A pretty, fresh green floral. The opening can be slightly sharp for some noses, with that vintage touch, but it settles in seconds, leaving herbal notes like freshly cut grass with dew. Then the muguet appears, so characteristic… It smells of countryside, spring, and summer breezes. It leaves a clean, soft scent on the skin. It’s elegant and timeless. The drawback is that, although the leaf bottle is beautiful, it needs to be kept lying down. Perhaps you were one of the lucky ones who had it on its acrylic stand. Nevertheless, it’s a delight. Bravo to Kenzo! I only hope they don’t discontinue it as they did with the ‘Summer’ version by Alberto Morillas.
A beautiful, fresh floral green scent. The opening can be slightly sharp at first with that vintage touch, but it settles within seconds, revealing freshly cut grass with dew still upon it. Then comes the muguet, so typical of this fragrance… To me, it smells of the countryside, spring, and summer breezes. It leaves a clean, soft scent on the skin. It is elegant and timeless. If I have one gripe, although the leaf-shaped bottle is gorgeous, it forces us to keep it lying down always. Perhaps you were one of the lucky ones who had it on its acrylic stand… because they did… Nevertheless, it is a delight. Bravo to Kenzo! I only hope they do not discontinue it as they did with the wonderful ‘Summer’ version by Alberto Morillas.
My favourite; it’s getting harder to find it every day, a real pity. Sometimes I’m afraid they’ll discontinue it as people say. Since I first smelled it, I was in love at first sight, and it suits my skin perfectly. No other fragrance convinces me. Nowadays, I find they make perfumes for women that are very sweet and cloying (some give me nausea) or very citrusy. Everyone praises how I smell when I wear it; they recognise me by the fragrance. A wonderful olfactory creation. It doesn’t tire you; you always want more. It smells of clean, subtle florals. It’s one of those fragrances that surprise you because it doesn’t resemble anything else. Valley lilies are one of my favourite flowers, along with jasmine, gardenia, and freesia. At first, it smells more green, then the floral fragrance becomes prominent. The moment I put it on, it transported me to a movie landscape (forest, waterfall, little flowers) on a spring day. It hasn’t happened with others since. I like that it leaves a mark subtly, without overwhelming the senses. Feminine, tender. It smells of a young woman, not a lady.
I remember this perfume from many years ago. At the time, due to my age and what I craved, it wasn’t a purchase option, but that didn’t stop me from recognising its quality, freshness, and style; it felt sharp at first and I never forgot that. I saw it again this month, surprised to find it, and as my tastes and olfactory experience have evolved, I happily decided to try it… but there was nothing of what I remembered. The opening that so attracted me wasn’t there, nor the green intensity I recalled. To me, it just smells of water. Why do they reformulate perfumes? Who knows. It’s a shame.
Undoubtedly one of the greenest perfumes I’ve ever smelled. Perhaps it has a brief resemblance to Noa, but it is much greener; it transports you and makes you feel unique.
I loved this perfume; it was my signature in the 90s. When I saw it in its new frosted leaf packaging, I rushed to buy it blindly… but what a disappointment. Nothing of that charming scent remains. It’s a very linear reformulation, just artificial green jasmine, without grace. I sold it without regret.
A springtime freshness aroma, cheerful and soft. It is green, but with a certain honey or flower jam sweetness. The herbal part is impregnated with lily, jasmine, etc. nectars, recalling that gentle, kind floral tenderness of Acqua di Gio, where the velvety green softness is the standout. Easy, versatile, kind. A luminous, positive spring in a beautiful bottle. A Kenzo for everyone.

Ideal for summer. I bought it blindly, thinking it smelled like Kenzo Summer, which I couldn’t find. I was 33 and found it very strong; the lily and jasmine notes made it seem suited for older women, so I gifted it to my mother and she was fascinated. Over the years, I took notice of it again, read the reviews about how wonderful it was, and bought it again, although it’s hard to find. Now my perception has changed completely. I still sense the strong lily and jasmine scent, but improved, and I find a resemblance to Fleur de Floris, which I also own. It lasts quite a while on my skin, I receive good compliments, and I recommend it for hot days. Perhaps tastes change with age, but it’s a marvel.
I’ve read the reviews and regret not having known about the 1992 version, as I have the 2002 one and I love it. It’s fresh, with green and floral notes highlighted; I find it caressing. It lasts 6 or 7 hours on me. Additionally, I have the body cream, which means I perceive the fragrance all the time.
I read the previous reviews and regret not knowing about the 1992 version, as I have the 2002 edition and I love it. It’s fresh, with green and floral notes standing out; it feels caressing. It lasts six or seven hours on me; besides, I also have the body cream, so I can smell the fragrance all the time.
I suppose I bought it last month purely for the nostalgia, knowing it had already been reformulated. The disappointment was total. I wore it for years with the corrugated leaf version and I simply can’t stand this one. It smells sour and heavy; it lacks that herbal freshness it used to have. It feels like a shadow of what it was, a poor imitation. Another classic lost, what a shame.
This fragrance embodies spring from A to Z: green leaves, freshly cut grass, flowers, dew, and sunshine. It feels classic, fresh, soft, and elegant, refusing to fade; beauty deserves to endure. Although reformulations have taken over, you can still recognise it amongst its petals. On my skin, the green notes dominate, along with valley lily, peony, and musk; the sandalwood is barely perceptible but gives a sumptuous feel. It’s the scent of a white chiffon dress dancing in the wind. Upon application, you first notice the lilies with their glossy leaves, then the flowers emerge, the striking peony without overshadowing the lily. After half an hour, the initial freshness turns creamy, as if flowers and leaves have been crushed into a luxurious cream that melts into the skin. It’s not a ‘youthful’ essence, but one with great personality. If you want to smell of spring or something different, this is for you. It lasts about 6 or 7 hours with a moderate trail that is always perceptible.
Does anyone remember the 90s green Jovialle? Is there a current perfume that replicates that scent? I’m from Argentina and I’ll read everything you say—I’d be so grateful!
