Which Should You Buy?
A legendary green floral from the 90s, Parfum d'Ete is adored for its fresh, dewy garden scent - but only the vintage, original formulation. Don't touch the newer stuff, it's a travesty.
This perfume is a divisive one. You'll either adore its unique green and fruity freshness, or you'll be left underwhelmed, finding it too generic or synthetic for its luxury price tag. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, but for those who love it, prepare for a joyful spring garden in a bottle.
