Wonderful fragrance! As the name suggests, it’s a summer perfume with excellent longevity. I smell it as floral and fruity as anything, very rich!
I had the old version and loved it; whenever I ran out, I bought the largest bottle until I couldn’t find it anymore. A month ago I looked for it online and I don’t know if I changed or if they reformulated it so much that I hate it now. It’s similar, but now it has an unpleasant note I can’t stand. I’ll give it to my mom when she comes, because she still likes it and says she doesn’t notice a difference.
I had the old one and loved it; whenever it ran out, I’d buy the biggest bottle until they stopped making it. A month ago I looked for it online and I don’t know if I changed or if they reformulated it so much that I hate it now. It’s similar, but now it has an unpleasant note I can’t stand. I’ll give it to my mom when she comes, because she still likes it and says she doesn’t notice the difference.
The old version in the matte leaf bottle was something else: super sophisticated, noble, and eager to hug whoever wore it. The new one smells similar, but the difference is noticeable.
It’s not just the bottle that changed compared to the 1992 version; the juice is completely different. The original Parfum d’Été was a green floral with hints of wet, acidic wood, ultra-rich and narcotic, starting from a somewhat domesticated nature; over the years, it had nothing to do with what we now understand as a summer cologne. Honestly, it was never a cologne, but a heavy perfume that used summer, greenery, and nature to represent a forest witch—a swarm of florivegetal notes that left you dizzy just smelling the cap. The current version, whose only pretty thing is the stylized bottle, has little in common. The idea is similar, but they smell different: the latter is more watery, melancholic, and transparent. Plus, it’s more banal. At some point in the dry-down, it gets closer to the original, a burst of sharp green notes and sulfurous: on one side, the richness of wet green, on the other, the very noticeable muguet, and a tamed young hyacinth that adds speed. It brings back memories of aged vegetation, chamomile, linden, hay… However, what I hate most is how artificial it feels. A very fake muguet, even knowing it always is; the sharp green current reminds me of the effervescent body of powdered detergent, the hyacinth of fabric softener or bed linen spray. Anyone who smelled the original gets what I’m saying: it smelled like bottled nature, rich, greasy, with a little sex to it. You might like it or not, but it smelled like an expensive thing. Back then, perfumes smelled expensive by default. Here, things go wrong with the peony, which oddly reminds me of a reed diffuser. It has that synthetic tone of rose-flower-based room fresheners; when mixed with the green and jasmine, it floods the fragrance with a horribly fake sour sweetness, without harmony. The 2002 version seems like a lobotomized, capped perfume, a shadow of what it was, tedious, monotonous, and with those pink-green synthetic notes that are a real pain to feel non-stop, plus longevity isn’t bad either. One of those cases of a disastrous reformulation.
Not only does the bottle change compared to the 1992 version, the juice has nothing to do with it either. The original Parfum d’ete was a green floral with hints of wet, acidic wood, an ultra-greasy and narcotic perfume starting from the abstract idea of somewhat domesticated nature; it was a fragrance that, viewed with the distance years provide, had nothing to do with what is today understood as a summer cologne. In truth, Parfum d’ete was never a cologne, but a powerhouse perfume that leveraged the summer starting point, the green and the natural, to represent a kind of forest witch, a swarm of floral-vegetal notes that made you dizzy just smelling the cap. The current version, whose only pretty thing is the stylized bottle, has little to do with the previous one. The idea is similar, but they smell different; the latter is much more watery, complaining, and transparent. Besides, it’s a more banal perfume. At some point in the dry-down is when it’s closest to resembling the original: a burst of sharp green notes and sulfurous, on one hand the green of wet richness, on the other the muguet which is very noticeable, and also a young hyacinth and somewhat tamed one that is in charge of giving that tone of speed. The mix of these ingredients also brings me memories of slightly older vegetation that take me back to the original, memories of chamomile, linden, hay… However, there is something I really don’t like in this fragrance, and it’s how artificial it feels. A very fake muguet, even knowing it always is; the sharp green current rather reminds of the effervescent body of a powdered detergent, a hyacinth with a laundry softener aftertaste or a linen spray. Whoever smelled the original will certainly catch what I’m saying, because if there was one thing the authentic Parfum d’ete smelled like, it was bottled nature, a very rich, greasy one with a tiny bit of sex. You could like it or not, but it smelled like something expensive. It’s also true that before perfumes smelled expensive by rule. In this version, things go completely wrong when the peony appears, which strangely reminds me of a reed diffuser. Here, as expected, it has that tone, that synthetic aftertaste of home air fresheners based on pink flowers; plus, when mixed with the green notes and the jasmine, it floods the fragrance with a fake, acidic sweetness, with no harmony. The 2002 version of Parfum d’ete seems like a capped and lobotomized perfume, a shadow of what it was; besides, I find it tiresome, monotonous, and with synthetic notes of a pink-green tone that I think it’s a real pain to keep feeling without stop, because on top of that, longevity isn’t bad either. One of those cases, and I’ve lost count, of a disastrous reformulation.
This perfume was one of my first loves. I used it countless years during my teenage years until I couldn’t find it anymore. After a few years, I saw they relaunching it and I couldn’t resist buying it. I did it blindly without thinking it could change its scent so much. I tried it and no, I didn’t like it. There was no way. It sat in my closet waiting for years and years, but despite trying, there was no way. I ended up gifting it. It’s a shame they reformulate classic perfumes like this.
How beautiful! It smells clean, a fragrance you can’t not like. I had it in my youth (20 years ago); the bottle was textured, with a matching cap, heavy. The version I found is the one with the big leaf. To me, it’s the same fragrance, divine! It lasts a long time on skin and clothes. When I put it on, people compliment it.
Parfum d’Été! I love this perfume! Kenzo is a floral genius. To be honest, I didn’t love the first version because it had an ingredient that felt scratchy to my nose. When the new one came out, I fell completely in love and surrendered to its exquisite aroma: fresh, green, youthful, authentic, subtle yet lasting, and cheerful. When I wear it, I feel refined but discreet; it’s not flashy, but people notice it for its finesse. It’s hard to get since they discontinued it in Mexico, so I treasure it; it’s not for daily use. Its trail lasts until the end of the day, but it’s subtle.
Parfum d’été… I love this perfume! Kenzo is a floral genius. To be honest, I didn’t like the first version because it had an ingredient that felt rough to my nose. When the new version came out… I fell completely in love and surrendered totally to its exquisite scent: fresh, green, youthful, authentic, subtle yet at the same time lasting and cheerful. When I wear it, I feel refined but discreet; it’s not very flashy, but people notice it for its finesse and subtlety. It’s not easy to get since it was discontinued in Mexico along with many other perfumes from my collection, so I treasure it; it’s not for daily use. Its trail lasts until the end of the day, but it’s subtle.
The Little Leaf. After using Eau de Dolce Vita and not finding it in my city’s perfumeries, I decided to try something similar in freshness: Kenzo D’ete. So green, so rich, so fresh, but with a couple of higher notes than Eau de Dolce Vita in terms of freshness, in my opinion, with more intensity. Beautiful.
I bought it because it’s a classic and I wanted it in my collection, I bought it without testing. It’s fresh, green, herbal, for spring and summer, daytime. Personally, it’s a fresh clean scent like freshly cut grass. It’s very similar to another I own, the Issey Miyake (classic/grey cap); not so much in the opening, but in the dry down it’s the same, except the Issey has better projection and lasts longer on the skin. I wouldn’t buy it again, on my skin the fragrance lasts only two hours.
Rich, fresh, sweet. But wait, upon drying down I find it very similar to Pure Musc Narcisse or For Her EDT… but softer. Anyway, for me it was a very pleasant surprise since I bought it blind and finally found a soft musky perfume for summer, that gives you that clean, creamy but fresh scent that doesn’t overwhelm.
Green that I want green! What can I say about this perfume? I can’t be impartial about the perfume of my life, my favorite above all others. The first time I had it was around ’96, the old leaf bottle, gorgeous, hiding a wonder. It was a gift from my father for my birthday; we went together to the perfumery and I chose it from all they showed me at that moment. I felt like a very personality-driven and elegant teenager using it, truly a privilege back then, maybe that’s why it became my favorite perfume along with Eden by Cacharel. It’s a very green perfume, I feel it creamy every time I apply it, its aroma envelops me. On my skin I feel it all day, even until the next day before showering. My untrained nose manages to recognize the lilies and green notes, not so much the sandalwood attributed in the description. It’s a different, uncommon perfume. If you don’t want to go unnoticed but without too much opulence, this could be your perfume. One of the best by Kenzo!
Green is the color I want! I can’t be impartial about the perfume of my life, my absolute favorite. I first got it around ’96; the old leaf-shaped bottle was gorgeous and hid a true treasure. My dad bought it for my birthday, we went to the perfumerie together, and I chose it from everything on the shelf. Wearing it made me feel like a confident, elegant teenager—a real privilege of those years. It became my favorite alongside Cacharel’s Eden. It’s very green, feels creamy every time I apply it, envelops me, and lasts all day on my skin, even the next morning before showering. My untrained nose picks out the lilies and green notes, not so much the sandalwood listed in the description. It’s a different, uncommon scent; if you want to stand out without being overly opulent, this is for you. One of Kenzo’s best.
I had read negative reviews and wanted to smell it; I own the previous version, so beautiful, green floral and earthy. This one is very similar to the original, but it lacks that earthy touch that made it so different, like a garden soaked in summer drying under intense sun, where you smell flowers, leaves, and wet earth, a slightly wild garden. This version lacks that touch, having 7 of the 18 notes from the original; without some ingredients, it’s lighter, a more civilized garden. The resemblance is 80%, and with current reformulations, I can’t complain. They could have made this version and called it Kenzo d’ete légère, made for those who found the nineties version too heavy and continued selling the original.
Beautiful fresh green floral. The opening can be a bit sharp at first with that vintage touch, but it calms down in seconds, leaving freshly cut herbs with dew still on them. Then the muguet appears, so typical of this fragrance… To me, it smells like the countryside, spring, and summer breezes. It leaves a clean, soft scent on the skin. It’s elegant and timeless. If I have one complaint, even though the leaf-shaped bottle is gorgeous, it forces you to keep it lying down. Maybe you were one of the lucky ones who had it on its acrylic stand… because they did… Still, it’s a delight. Bravo to Kenzo! I just hope they don’t discontinue it like they did with the wonderful ‘Summer’ version by Alberto Morillas.
A beautiful, fresh green floral scent. The opening can be a bit sharp for some noses, thanks to that vintage touch, but it settles down in seconds, revealing herbal notes like freshly cut grass with dew. Then comes the muguet, so characteristic… It smells like the countryside, spring, and summer breezes. It leaves a clean, soft trail on the skin. It’s elegant and timeless. The only downside is that, although the leaf bottle is gorgeous, you have to lay it down to spray it. Maybe you were one of the lucky ones who got it with its acrylic stand. Still, it’s a delight. Bravo to Kenzo! I just hope they don’t discontinue it like they did with the ‘Summer’ version by Alberto Morillas.
My favorite; it’s getting harder and harder to find it, a real pity. Sometimes I’m afraid they’ll discontinue it as people say. Since I first smelled it, I was in love at first sight, and it suits my skin perfectly. No other fragrance convinces me. Nowadays, I find they make perfumes for women that are very sweet and cloying (some give me nausea) or very citrusy. Everyone praises how I smell when I wear it; they recognize me by the fragrance. A marvelous olfactory creation. It doesn’t get old; you always want more. It smells like clean, subtle florals. It’s one of those fragrances that surprises you because it doesn’t resemble anything else. Valley lilies are one of my favorite flowers, along with jasmine, gardenia, and freesia. At first, it smells more green, then the floral fragrance comes through. As soon as I put it on, it transported me to a movie landscape (forest, waterfall, little flowers) on a spring day. It hasn’t happened with others. I like that it leaves a mark subtly, without overwhelming the senses. Feminine, tender. It smells like a young woman, not a lady.
I remember this perfume from many years ago. At the time, due to my age and what I was craving, it wasn’t a purchase option, but that didn’t stop me from recognizing its quality, freshness, and style; it was sharp at first and I never forgot that. I saw it again this month, surprised to find it, and since my tastes and olfactory experience have evolved, I happily decided to try it… but there was nothing of what I remembered. The opening that so attracted me wasn’t there, nor the green intensity I recalled. To me, it just smells like water. Why do they reformulate perfumes? Who knows. It’s a shame.
Undoubtedly one of the greenest perfumes I’ve ever smelled. Maybe it has a brief resemblance to Noa, but it’s much greener; it transports you and makes you feel unique.
I loved this perfume; it was my signature in the 90s. When I saw it in its new frosted leaf bottle, I bought it blindly… but what a disappointment. Nothing of that charming scent remains. It’s a very linear reformulation, just artificial green jasmine, without grace. I sold it without a second thought.
A cheerful, soft spring freshness. It’s green, but with a certain honey or flower jam sweetness. The herbal side is infused with lily, jasmine, and other nectars, recalling that gentle, friendly floral tenderness of Acqua di Gio, where the velvety green softness is the standout. Easy, versatile, kind. A luminous, positive spring in a beautiful bottle. A Kenzo for everyone.

Ideal for summer. I bought it blindly thinking it smelled like Kenzo Summer, which I couldn’t find. I was 33 and found it very strong; the lily and jasmine notes made it seem like a perfume for older women, so I gave it to my mom and she was fascinated. Over the years, I took another look, read the reviews about how wonderful it was, and bought it again, though it’s hard to find. Now my perception has changed completely. I still sense the strong lily and jasmine, but improved, and I find a resemblance to Fleur de Floris, which I also own. It lasts quite a while on my skin, I get good compliments, and I recommend it for hot days. Maybe tastes change with age, but it’s a marvel.
I’ve read the reviews and regret not knowing about the 1992 version, because I have the 2002 one and I love it. It’s fresh, the green and floral notes stand out, and I find it caressing. It lasts 6 to 7 hours on me. Plus, I have the body cream, which makes the fragrance last all day.
I read the previous reviews and regret not knowing about the 1992 version, since I own the 2002 one and absolutely love it. It’s fresh, with green and floral notes that really shine through; it feels so caressing on the skin. It lasts about 6 to 7 hours on me, and since I also use the body cream, I can keep smelling it all day long.
This fragrance embodies spring from A to Z: green leaves, freshly cut grass, flowers, dew, and sunshine. It feels classic, fresh, soft, and elegant, and it refuses to fade; beauty deserves to endure. Even though reformulations have taken over, you can still recognize it among its petals. On my skin, the green notes dominate, along with valley lily, peony, and musk; the sandalwood is barely noticeable but adds a luxurious feel. It’s the scent of a white chiffon dress dancing in the wind. Upon application, you first notice the lilies with shiny leaves, then the flowers emerge, with the striking peony not overshadowing the lily. After half an hour, the initial freshness turns creamy, as if crushed flowers and leaves were blended into a luxurious cream that melts into the skin. It’s not a ‘youthful’ essence, but it has great personality. If you want to smell like spring or something different, this is for you. It lasts about 6 to 7 hours with a moderate but always noticeable sillage.
I guess I bought it last month just for the nostalgia, knowing it had already been reformulated. The disappointment was total. I wore the corrugated leaf version for years and I just can’t stand this one. It smells sour and heavy; it’s missing that herbal freshness it used to have. It feels like a shadow of what it was, a poor imitation. Another classic lost, what a shame.
Does anyone remember the 90s Jovialle Green? Is there a current perfume that replicates that scent? I’m from Argentina and I’ll read everything you say—I’d be so grateful!
