Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of First Summer Pour l'Ete weaves an exquisite bouquet of notes, starting with the refreshing blackcurrant leaf, which imparts initial greenery and juiciness.

At the heart of the fragrance, delicate floral chords unfold: jasmine adds a languid sweetness, narcissus brings a fresh aquatic note, and rose completes this ensemble with classic romantic charm.

In the base, warm and earthy tones resonate: sandalwood creates a creamy depth, vanilla adds a soft sweetness, and vetiver contributes a fresh woody accent, uniting all elements into a harmonious summer symphony.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

Spring in a bottle? Oh come on, don't make me laugh. The scent is too harsh, the flowers seem to scream, and the lightness here is only superficial. This bitterness only makes it worse, no romance, just heaviness and rejection 😒
3/5

I expected lightness and freshness, but I just got rose with vanilla. Honestly, I'm disappointed 😕
4/5

Here, you can feel greens and flowers, and in the base, woody and vanilla accents peek through. The scent is really pleasant, reminiscent of spring
3/5

Rose and vanilla are clearly at the forefront here. The scent turns out sweet, rich, and spicy, but at the same time bright. The name and color of the bottle, honestly, don't match what's inside at all 😔
5/5

The combination of pink notes with green leaves and narcissus powder looks quite appealing. However, despite its femininity and softness, this fragrance doesn't leave a strong impression. It can be a nice addition to a basic wardrobe, but nothing more. The sillage, though beautiful, cannot overshadow the overall feeling. In the end, a bitter aftertaste remains, as if something is missing )
5/5

I'm craving to get this fragrance, I don't know where to find it, but I simply must have it. It smells like sweet, yellow daffodils with honey, and at first, it seems like it will be too heavy. But then a green note with a light pink tint appears, which adds lightness to it. Now I understand why it's in a blue bottle. Although the fragrance is rich, it feels warm and light, as if filled with sunbeams 🌼
3/5

The scent reminds me of eternal spring, with light sweet notes of birch sap and something a little boozy, like grape mash 🍇 It opens especially well in the morning, but loses its magic during the day. I can't say it's bright, but it's not entirely quiet either - something in between. There's nothing in it that would make it stand out from others. That's just how it is
4/5
4
This scent is definitely not for winter - it makes me nostalgic for warm spring days. Gentle and light, floral, but it doesn't get lost in the crowd, it fills everything around. You just want to close your eyes and imagine birds singing in spring 🌸
