I sampled this today and didn't look at the notes first. It opens as a very creamy and heady white floral with a touch of peach...a GARDENIA white floral, I swear! I see that isn't listed and no one else has said that, but on my skin, it smells just like Kai - which is loaded with gardenia.
After about 20 minutes or so, I can detect more of the other flowers - peony for sure, lily-of-the-valley, and a drop of rose here and there.
Mix all this with a fresh, lovely, leafy undertone, and you get an aptly named bottle for summer! :) I like it, but I'm not a white floral kinda girl...so I won't be buying it. Good staying power like other Kenzo fragrances I've used.

"I`m not a girl - not yet a woman" - it`s about Perfume d`Ete.Sweet little things...Running barefoot through the grass, splashing in the rain, the sweetness of Mom`s lipstick stuck on your teeth, sucking the nectar out of petunia flowers when noone`s watching...
The base is a little bit more mature - the appealing mossy-woody notes come forward, and while the top and the heart still linger, it is not all innocent anymore, it even becomes warmer!
I admire the perfumer that could create such weightless wonder with such sensual components.There is really nothing sexual about this lovely, sparkling,all-natural scent.It is pure and brings to mind a forest spring surrounded by wildflowers - the sweetness of the cold, clear underground water.

I had some samples of kenzo perfumes and I gave some of them,including this one,kenzo l'eau par and kenzo flower to a close friend of mine.she fell in love with this perfume immediately so that she bought herself a 100 ml bottle.I tried to tell her that they are better fragrances out there,but she didn't listen(LOL)
this is nice.it smells so fresh,fruity and sour at the first,but immediately the floral heart appears.it's really floral,that's why I think it's more suitable for spring rather than summer.fortunately I don't get any ylang-ylang neither peony.in return narcissus is very dominant and nice.
it's energetic and young and if you consider the year in which it came out,you accept it's unique for that year.
so if you like energetic perfumes without looking like a teenager this is for you.

This perfume was the first gift ever from to my mum back in time when I was 7 years old, I took around 50 $ from my savings and bought her the 100ml one, whenever I smell it on anyone I can't help it, but remember the floral scent of my mum ...

This is a truly unique scent I have used since it came out. Its fresh floral and I have never smelled musk in this. Green notes dominate and the narcissus gives the sweetness. On the drydown Iris which has a sweetness/floral and cedar come foward. This one is so special I ALWAYS know when someone has it on. On my 5th bottle :)

very green, with personality. For my nose its like a sugary grass... not too sweet, not overpowering... however is strong and notable.
Like a floral-mossy-woody scent. Its interesting
Make me think about moist air, humid green place, tick of nature at warm weather
Great!!!

A beautiful floral/green fragrance. It is very unusual, in my opinion. The top notes, in particular, are unlike any perfume I have sampled. Difficult to explain and I am not very adept at describing scents, but I think it is the peachy topnote mixed with the huge variety of flowers that give it a really heady opening. This is a strong perfume yet somehow perfect for warmer weather. It lasts for a very long time on the skin and it dries down to a very pretty cedar/sandalwood. I love this one and have worn it for years. Another great perfume from Kenzo--and the bottle is lovely.
