Because I love the bottle designs and love teh eponymous Kenzo, I tried Parfum d'Ete every time I had the chance, hoping it would reveal itself. Unfortunately the strongest impression I gained was always Chlorine as well as soap. I was reminded of an outdoor public swimming pool on a sunny day, not in an unpleasant way; it seemed this was very decidedly an outdoor summer fragrance. But why on earth have a soapy-smelling perfume when there's so much soap to be had? I prefer fragranceless vegetable oil soap so that the option is there to smell like something of choice rather than incidentally as a side-effect of having showered. How ironic not to smell of soap but then to buy a perfume in order to do so.

This is my mum's signature scent along with Samsara. I used to "steal" it when I was in school but could never wear it as beautifully as she did. It smells of dewy jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and iris on her, not fruity nor green, just pure sweet floral breeze after rain. The thick, heavy ground glass bottle itself is a piece of art, much better than the new cheapie one.

This is my signature for almost 20 years on and off. I am waiting for a new vintage opaque bottle to arrive. This is way more sophisticated than a new tansparent bottle of juice.

Beautiful. Calming. Reminds me, especially in the opening, of another favorite, Parfums de Rosine "Rose d'Ete" (a sort of green apple-y yellow rose). Treasure. Cherish. Ah perfume makes it easy to "wax lyrical" :)

I loved this perfume, light and fresh but sweet and classy at the same time without being cloying. I wish, wish, wish I could find a perfume like this again.

Herbwitch, you can try Iceberg Twice - it's cheap, greenery fresh, it really might evoke similar feeling to Parfum d'ete ... "Clean sweet flowers '' just as you said...
I have both of these fragrances. They are both distinct but overall somehow feels similar.

OK, I am now sad :( Picked up small bottle for the summer but want something easier to obtain. Can anyone recommend something that smells similar? I really love this.

Fresh, cool, youthful. Received a test sample with a purchase I made years ago. I keep them all in a sealed container in a dark cool closet. Going thru the testers and decided to try it. I love this. It is exactly what I was looking for. So light and clean and a little sweet. Little wifts of clean sweet flowers all day. Makes me feel like I am in my garden, even when I am not. For a light clean scent it really lasts, 6 hours and counting! This will be my summer day scent this year - as soon as i find it.

Just bought a 5 ml miniature of this perfume from an online shop.

I think i got an old, fermented miniature, since it's launched over than a decade ago, I was a mere young girl then.

Well, when I first opened the bottle, a whiff of very strong alcohol and old drawer hung in the air, this actually taken me aback. I rushed washing my hand. I almost hate this perfume. Maybe the unpleasant smell is because of it's been 'fermented'.

Then this afternoon I give a second chance for this infamous perfume. I already prepared my nose for that old alcoholic granny smell.
And waits..
As time goes, the actual smell revealed.

Sweet, fresh white flowers. Soapy, indeed.

I havent smell the drydown notes though. hope it'll be great too.

WHY do they so often change the formula of perfumes that are a success?? I really dont get it! Make a New perfume instead! I LOVED this one and the changed version doesnt interest me at all!

I used to wear this in 1997 and bought it again last year. However, I was warned of the formula change and was able to get a bottle of the original on ebay. It still smells great. And although this is more green and less sweet than what I usually go for, I just love it. It smells fresh and sexy. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. I just hope I can find the original formula again when I run out.

The natural sweetness of peony in company with iris and fresh moist greens. This fragrance is persistent and long lasting, and just in time for sunset it has morphed and revealed a wonderful base with a somewhat different personality. The light flowers now come to rest on a attractive slightly musky base of woods and moss. Its almost "two for one" with this quality composition.
Nothing silly about the lightheartedness of this "summer" - it's plain happy with a beautiful sensual base.
Some sillage, very good lasting power.

The classic original leaf bottle is definitely different and better than the reformulated version in the clear leave bottle. I love this in summer - very fresh with subtle sweetness and light spice. I wore this years ago, and it still works today. I also love the L'eau D'Ete, although it is much more citrusy and unusual. I switch back and forth.

This is fresh and clean, yet also sweet and feminine...a great warmer weather scent with gorgeous, somewhat strong sillage and impressive lasting power (~8hours). I sense the succulence of peaches, the green crispness of dew drenched leaves, and the sweet nectar of various flowers, all dancing on mossy strips of bark, fluffy amber clouds and velvet musk. I'd say this scent is ahead of its time (in a good way), yet I agree with other reviewers who find this scent nostalgic. I feel like I've smelled this lovely scent before, I think a friend's mom in grade school used to wear it. Parfum D Ete is romantic, beautiful, carefree, and innocent. Mmm...my nose is stuck to my wrist. I love this stuff. Must hunt it down.

This is a gorgeous Summery fragrance, so very aptly named! Kenzo perfumes are a bit hit or miss with me, as are green fragrances but this is a big hit all the way! It starts out fresh, sparkly and zesty, then the florals come through with lots of lily of the valley. It dries down to a mossy/woody base. I love it.

no matter how many editions Kenzo come up with, this original kenzo with the very special leaf-like bottle and unmistakable scent is simply the best among them

A girl I was falling for used to wear this. I bought a bottle years ago and I'm so happy every time I smell it! It's beautiful, honest and noble. This should be called parfum d'un ete inoubliable.

I just love this perfume. On my third bottle since about 1995. Unavailable in Australia for many years it reappeared like an answer to prayer. Because I love it! Ofcourse it was in a new bottle but still a leaf and still the same delightful, uplifting scent. Reformulated? I didn't notice. Have a long way to go to be able to explain what it is about Parfum d'Ete that both soothes and elevates me so, but it does, and no nasty after-effects unlike most mood-altering substances.

It is a truly unique scent, utterly recognisable and so able to recall nostalgia upon the merest whiff of its green shoots and dewy freshness..like happy walks in the forest in the early morning before the dew has dried and the flowers are heavy with the lushness of their own sappy juices.
However, I detect a slight change in this delicate fragrance..there is something missing and I am sure of this after years of wearing it faithfully and then returning to it after a gap of 7 years. Can anyone confirm that I am not going mad on this one? There seems to be the humid sweetness of the peony that is the heart of this fragrance that is sorely lacking..

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.
