The Pour Un Ete L Artisan Parfumeur for women

Sea of jasmine.
For me too plain and harsh. I'm quite disappointed, that I don't get any tea notes, nor mint or anything pleasant - only Killer Jasmine ;]

To update even further from my past reviews, this has been a joy wearing during the cold holiday season. There are two parts I love in this perfume.

The mint for one is almost mimicking the cold air. I feel like a polar bear with a candycane colored scarf . Secondly the burning smokey sensation of the tea notes. There's almost an incense like feel, but instead of pine it's the tea that's smoldering by the camp fire. The warmth and the cool contrast in an effort less way.

A++ L'artisan thank you for such a beautiful fragrance!

Initial burst of natural jasmine and citrus came out when first applied. Later the tea note & mint start to come in blending with the jasmine & citrus. I find it very refreshing, clean and cologne-y. Smells very natural indeed. Lovely!

A very nice, simple fragrance. You can wear this on casual, lazy days, or when you want to have fun. Nothing overpowering. Good for the senses.

The first thing I smell is lemony citrus and green tea, in a very light cologne-like scent. I get the feeling that this EdT is tiptoeing around in a morass of olfactory political correctness, afraid to offend anyone by expressing any opinion whatsoever.

After the first 15 minutes or so, it does develop a little prickliness and light notes of jasmine and mint, but these are almost as bland and inoffensive as the opening. It’s one of those scents that are like blurry, pastel watercolor paintings, which I generally dislike, done on rough paper that creates unnatural, crinkly edges to the colors.

It’s sort of like a diluted version of Un Jardin Sur Le Nil, with the same sneeze-inducing “tea” accord, which, unfortunately, grows as the scent dries down. The prickly “tea” note persists surprisingly long for a fragrance that in other ways seems so weak. Definitely not my cup of tea (apologies, I know that’s trite), but I can imagine that those people who wear pastel colors and fuzzy scents might adore this.

Jasmine is the main player on my skin. True to life jasmine with the tea giving itself off as a smokey character. I don't smell the mint at all, but I'm sure it's playing well with the others because this scent really shines in my collection. It doesn't change much the longer I wear it. I would say that is it's only negative, just because it can bore me.

The top notes of peppermint and lemon are very sharp and if there's jasmine in here, I don't get it at all. It is a nice green tea scent, but it all seems to be angles and edges, no soft notes. Definitely not what other people have gotten, I guess. Not for me, anyway.

On me, this smells like a fresh linen closet, kind of pleasant but totally unsignificant. No staying power at all. I had high hopes for this one because I love tea fragrances, and this one sounded great. I smell more soap than tea and I can't find any mint anywhere. I'm disappointed.

L'Artisan Parfumeur THE POUR UN ETE is a simple yet satisfying tea scent which combines jasmine, lemon, tea, mint, and bergamot to produce a pleasing composition. I have to say that such a concoction would make for a pretty ghastly cup of tea and in fact reminds me of an ill-conceived lemon green earl grey which I once tried. There was just too much going on, and not in a tasty way. Here, however, these notes do all work together harmoniously somehow to produce a subtle perfume suitable for women and men.

As an avid tea drinker, I tend to be pretty selective about tea fragrances, and while I like this one and find it nice enough to wear, I recently tried Guerlain TOKYO (from their trio Les Voyages Olfactifs), which strikes me as much more compelling (it's on my wishlist). I think that I prefer something with a bit more oomph than jasmine--the Guerlain contains both violet and hinoki...

This has the most luxurious green tea scent note. To describe it: It's like lying in under the spring-sun on purest light-green grass, while drinking a cup of ice-tea with fresh lemon. Where? = In a 1910-1920's English park, reading a Jane Austen novel.

Start with the same notes than Creed's Silver montain water but without the salty note. Turns quickly into a lemony-light jasmine thing. Not my cup of tea but good scent. Again, too light.

This is the first tea scent that has worked with my chemistry! It opens with a refreshing blast of green tea and and a little mint, which reminds me of the green tea "pearl milk tea" I used to occasionally drink. Then the bergamot and jasmine begin to emerge, and eventually the lemon. The scent is so real that it transports me! I feel like I have my nose buried in a cup of fresh steaming tea.

I keep smelling my wrist. The fragrance undulates on my skin throughout the day, rotating between jasmine tea, minty-green tea, and earl grey tea. Sometimes I even just smell jasmine and lemon, but mostly I can't decide which cup of tea I'm actually drinking! Would it be a bad thing if it were all three at once?

I bought this over Chasses aux Papillons (which I preferred) because my husband absolutely insisted. At first I thought it was fresh, green and straight citrus and jasmine. But later when I was in the car I kept asking who was wearing cheap cologne and hairspray. It was the The pour un Ete... I want to sneeze everytime I wear it and it gives me an instant headache. But my husband loves it, go figure.

This fragrance creates summer mood. You feel like you're in a citrus garden. Adore it.

Now this is a Tea Scent! I like Tea for two as well but if you are looking for just tea with no spices. I have found my love. It has less warmth than Bvlgari red tea and really focuses on the Jasmin tea. I have found that mint is a very welcome note in perfume for me as well. At first I thought of spearmint yuk but just mint is so fresh and up lifting. smells like a true home brewed iced tea no fake brisk to it. Lasting time is good for all the lightness. Will have to save for this one. I want the big bottle :)

For some reason this scent reminds me of right where I live- the Bay Area. Before Silicon Valley we were Blossom valley, and this scent has the citrusy scents that I detect here. Unfortunately this fragrance is very light, a recurring theme for L'artisan. Wearing this makes me want to follow a winding road up into the foothills, where I'll find a charming little winery :-)

I have this perfume. It is, to my nose, just like the notes listed here. It has a pretty tea scent with some citrus (but not a lot). I can smell a dash of mint, which I really enjoy. I know it's listed as a green fragrance, but this is not as green as a perfume such as Chanel 19, which is the ultimate green scent to me. This is a clean, fresh scent that would be really nice to wear in warmer weather. Hope that helps a little!
