第一瓶的阿蒂仙大瓶就是她,虽然很清淡 但是留香很不错 而且散发性也不差 只是这个香调表是否完整呢 感觉玫瑰和橙花都不是主导...

L'Ete en Douce is one of the nicest Spring appropriate florals I've smelt in recent years. There is something truly likable about it. I can't help enjoying the way it smells on my skin.

The opening is the perfect blend of sweet and moist orange blossom and linden blossom, with an enticing note of fresh mint. It's a happy and delicate fragrance with feminine written all over it.

The overall feel is light and breezy. The white floral aspect is watered down, so it smells more clean rather than heavy or creamy. Gentle aromas of hay, grass and rose provide a natural and very Spring-like sensation that I can't help but admire.

Towards the base, L'Ete en Douce takes on a crisp soapiness with a touch of musk. It does have a slight laundry detergent smell, but on this particular occasion, it doesn't bother me.

Thankfully this fragrance is lasting despite its watery softness and delicacy. I feel instantly refreshed when wearing L'Ete en Douce, so I do not hesitate in recommending this fragrance whole-heartedly to floral lovers or niche enthusiasts.

Can you imagine yourself bathing under the frozen, crystal waters of a sparkling waterfall?..

If no, then L'artisan once again achieves the desired effect.
L'ete en Douce is exactly what you need to get transported in this refreshing paradise!

In the beginning, the first spray might hit you in the face with it sharp and a bit medical aspect, but that phase doesn't last long. According to my nose Linden tree along with a generous portion of musk is the one to give that flowery cold feeling. A hint of mint blends perfectly with the orange blossom which adds a slight sweetness to the whole composition.
L'ete en Douce finishing it development as a clean, musky-woody perfume that plays a safe, gentle game on you skin, especially in summertime.
my rating: 8/10

This is your typical Olivia Giacobetti creation. Many people say it is light, and it is, but on me the sillage is great and it lasts and lasts. As soon as I think it's gone, it comes back better than ever. I love the mint in the sharp opening. It moves on to hay and orange blossom and then the rose and musk develops. It's like fresh air or cool sheets. VioletLily definitely sums it up!Definitely one of my top five favorite L'Artisans.

Hmm, this is a curious one.

I bought it mainly because a boutique in town had a few L'Artisan 100 ml perfumes at 30 euro each (down from 90!); I had tested L'Ete many times on paper, enjoyed its sweet linden softness, and decided for that price I would buy a full bottle. In the end, they only had the tester left, so I got a nearly full bottle for 20 euros! L'Artisan bargain!

So, the price was right. How about the scent?

Well, that's where I struggle a little bit. On me, I've found it really difficult to not think of fabric softener every time I wear it. Something - perhaps the mint - is lending it a cold edge that on me, smells a little chemical. A beautiful light floral, but with a bit of harshness somewhere. It warms up a little after an hour, but not enough that I would call it a 'skin scent'.

Sillage is pretty good, but the fragrance only last around 3 hours. So that's the other curious thing. You can smell it and smell it and smell it and then it just vanishes.

So, I think this one depends on chemistry. On paper, it was a soft, herbaceous, rose-tinted summer perfume. On me - well, I smell like I just washed and ironed every item of clothing I'm wearing.

It could be worse!

UPDATE: now that I'm smelling this in summer, I loooove it! I don't get the harshness that I definitely used to in winter's cold, dry days; with a bit of heat + humidity, this is a fabulous soft sent-bon. I frequently wear it to bed, keeping my wrist close to my face as I fall asleep for a wonderfully aromatic lullaby...

L'Artisan Parfumeur L'ETE EN DOUCE evokes memories of the mingling aromas of freshly steamed rice and sencha tea in a Japanese restaurant--oddly enough, given the notes! Surely there is some guaiac wood here? Otherwise I believe that an authentic act of alchemy has occurred in producing these aromas from rose, neroli, mint, and musk!

L'ETE EN DOUCE is certainly soft and tender and almost unperfumelike in its subtlety. It's not quite a skin scent, but neither is it either very floral or very woody. I find this composition pleasing in a zenlike way. This is not a perfume to conquer the world in. This is a perfume with the power to calm and soothe rattled nerves. But eating a bowl of chirashi and drinking tea would accomplish that aim equally well, if not better...

Tested this one today and thought I would love it from the descriptions. It just smelled bland and of hairspray and then disappeared on my skin. Guess I like my perfumes heavier unless it is the white musk that disagreed.

Oh my. I made the mistake of buying Douce immediately after I first sniffed it. I was taken in by the originality of the scent - which I can describe as butter cookies in a stack of hay during a hot summer day... Unfortunately, after an hour of smelling this bold confection on my skin, my nose gets extremely exhausted, to the point where even if I smiff the bottle now, I feel nautious, as if all that hay has started to decompose.... I'm really sorry but this isn't working for me, it's just too weird and crazy.

I got a sample and used it up with great pleasure in summer, I'm not going to purchase because I think it's too bland. there are days I almost can't smell it at all, then other days I smell a lovely, sweet floral (not foody!), joyful, light scent. It's uplifting and comforting. Not a sexy scent.

To me, L’Ete En Douce is a daydream in gentle sunlight. It isn’t one particular note or scent, though at the beginning I do get a mix of the mint and rosy top notes and a hint of orange blossom, though none yell out their presence.
Soon, as the linden and hay emerge, I’m surrounded in pale greens and blues and the lightest, purest breeze, drifting in through the door, the sun outside warming the hay and freshly washed cottons on the line. Just the sheerest whisper of their scent is carried in on this warmed, fresh breeze. Seriously, it fills my nose with joy. It’s almost a cross between a clean and musky skin scent, with its nuances of mint, rose and orange blossom and musk. Although, at times I get just a touch of sugared almonds, but I think that is just how it plays out on my skin sometimes.
I’d normally prefer to wear L’Ete En Douce in an environment which is not awash with other smells, or even noise. It is one to wear in more quiet places or moments or even to sleep. Despite the quiet aura of this scent, I’m still surprised by its tenacity on my skin and soft sillage.
