Kenzo Parfum D'Ete Kenzo for women

i'm sure there was honey in it.. loved this perfume in the summer. would not wear otherwise as it is quite unspecial. But very cute.

This is a lovely, fresh green fragrance with notes of sweet pink jasmine. It's perfect for hot, humid summer days. I purchased a big bottle years ago, but I found I tired of it quickly. Even though the bottle is creative and pretty, it drove me nuts. It was big and awkward, and the fact that it couldn't stand up ruined the symmetry of the bottle display on my dresser. I don't know what ever happened to my Parfum d'ete. I must have given it away, because I'm sure I didn't use up the entire bottle. My using it got interreupted by Blumarine II, and then Blumarine II caused me to ignore D'ete entirely. I was still in the mindset that owning one to three perfumes was some kind of "law", and it never occured to me to keep a fragrance I wasn't using up to the last drop. Those days are long gone!

I had the bottle but the only thing I could smell was lily-of-the-valley. I understand the fragrance can be liked, it's just me who can sniff only lily-of-the-valley and I got tired of it... strange thing was going on with the fragrance on my skin. Pretty bottle.

Fresh, alive...that sensual warming note of jasmine. A favourite.

I received a sample of this perfume a few years ago. I loved it then. It smelled fresh. But I have never been able to find it in any of the perfume stores I have ever been to. :(

I miss my Parfum d'ete... Whats a lovely scent! Like a cool silk scarf on my skin. Where can I find it???

Kenzo Parfum D'Ete is my new favorite for summer. It is light, fresh, and green. Reminds me of Estee Lauder's Pleasures, only not as floral and definitely not as strong. It stays close to the skin; someone will have to be close to you to smell it. It is not intrusive at all, so it would be a great choice for the office. The bottle is cool, too. Love this stuff!

Such a fresh, green, springy fragrance! It's a clear, straightforward scent, doesn't dry down to anything other than what it begins with, at least on me. And since green is my favorite color, this is one of my favorite fragrances. Love it, love it, love it, and I always get compliments on it. Highly recommend it!

Usually I change perfumes and don't buy the same perfume twice (there are so many possibilties out there :) ). Well, Kenzo Parfum d'Ete is my exception to the rule. I keep on buying it wherever I can - it's a bit difficult to find - and I find it perfecr for the summer days. It smells very freshy and greeny. It's like spring on my skin and is one of the most particulars I know.

Perfumes often become unavailable in Australia whilst still available overseas. So when this reappeared a few years back, albeit packaged differently/relaunched/reformulated, I was thrilled and purchased it immediately! It had been on my list of "must-find at any cost..." If it has changed perhaps it's not too drastic because it's still lovely and still instantly recognisable. I still have soap in the older version to compare it with, but is it really a good comparison? I love it regardless.

P.S. There are more reviews under Parfum D'Ete (without Kenzo in title).

I dont like it, nothing special in it

This was my first perfume and I truly love it. However, the packaging has been changed and the scent as well. Some good scents never last.

just jasmine...!
as i usally say...gardenia and jasmin perfumes are the best!
i used to wear it when i was searching to find my favorite one...
i still have it,i some times wear it at summer...
it is lovely...

Kenzo Floral Perfumes rulez de business!

This is how a Green-Floral fragrance should smell, and after more than 15 years, is still one of the most beautiful jazmin/lily-of-the-valley scent.

The original formula place a little more emphasis on Sandalwood/Cedar/Oakmoss but this new reformulation is beautiful too, and I found the differences are negligible, but the new bottle suck :(

If you're looking for a clean, fresh-musky-floral scent with excellent sillage and powerlasting , try this!!

It was my first ,,real'' fragrnce... Was lovelly - light an unusual - then.
Now i am older and like much more spicy and oriental fragrances... But that always will be in my mind. Great fragrance for young, happy woman!

fresh in an original and non-generic way - somehow it reminds me of the smell of bamboo, only more intense.. must be a mix of the notes that's creating that impression, as I can't see bamboo in the pyramid itself.. a definite must try for lovers of floral greens :))

Just got a small bottle of the original off Ebay and sprayed this and the newer version on each wrist. There is no comparison. Kenzo please bring back the rich smelling original and ditch this pale new imitation!

On first spray I like the fresh greeness of this fragrance however after wearing for a hour it gave me an intense headache :-(

I was very sad when I bought the new version of this fragrance! I was given the little frosted leaf from the sister of my step father who lived in Italy back when I was around 12 yo. I was just small enough to clench in my palm. How I treasured that leaf! I used to take it out of a keepsake box and take a little sniff for years and years! I bought the soap bar (which came in the old packaging) when I bought the perfume and it is definitely the original smell - the soap though is not the same when on the skin. I like the new perfume - but I don't adore it as I used to. Now I am reduced to sniffing a bar of soap!

smell fresh and green for the first time but as days went by the smell turned into strong one and i get headache everytime i smell.plis smell it first before u buy it or ull end up regret it like me

I bought this perfume thinking it smelled like the original D’Ete, but I found out that this version is greener than the original one, but it is so leafy that it’s kind of annoying and obnoxious. Also I noticed that it has less staying power and the bottle is hard to handle. It certainly lacks of femininity and quality. I definitely prefer my old lovely, elegant, neat version of this scent; besides, I adore the frosted leaf bottle. It’s a shame that Kenzo discontinued this scent to replace it for this cheap, shameful misrepresentation of nature in an awkward bottle.

a little too powdery for my taste

Very pleasant, green and fresh. A pared-down version of the delicious original (which can still be found at online discounters and ebay). The hyacinth and green notes are prominent to my nose, and the scent is pretty linear - there is no drydown, the perfume tapers off to faintness fairly quickly (2 hours on me).

I layered this with Diorissimo, and it was wonderful!

For me, this is the smell of spring! I had it 4 or 5 years ago and loved it. People said to me "this is your scent" Then my sister felt in love with it and I gave it to her, and almost regret it:) when I smelled it on her. I tried it lately and found it a bit too strong at the top-but after these few minutes it´s faboulos. It´s a high-quality perfume-like the other Kenzo´s. It´s my favourite perfume house. And on me, it lasted the whole day.

The bottle is a piece of art...like Summer by Kenzo. Nice fragrance but very short lasting!!!!

Note: This version, Kenzo Parfum D'Ete, is a reformulation of Parfum D'Ete by Kenzo.

The *original* formula,(PDPK), came in an upright, frosted glass leaf bottle in a blue box, and has since been discontinued. I think the original was the slightly better of the two scents, because it was fresh and slightly sexy,cjould be worn day or night, and was longer lasting. (I think you can still find the soap version of this scent for sale.)

KPD (the current version) has many of the same notes as the original, but it fresher, not sexy, and not as long lasting or versatile. Still, as a daytime casual green summer fragrance, it is better than many of the summer scents out there. So I am giving this version a qualified thumbs up.

its such a clean, innocent and nice scent, i love the bottle and the whole stuff. great, its really green

this is a piece of art, this is so beautiful

I've been using it for over 10 years! It is so great, that everybody says that I always smell like spring without the sweet!

Just great.

It's a simple green perfume. I never thought it would smell that great on my skin. Too bad it didn't last long. Only about 4 four. Great and unoffensive kind of perfume.

This is indeed one great perfume by Kenzo. Lovely fragrance, beautiful packaging.

it's green, watery and fresh.
for hot days, but not for a teen.

i love it
