L'Artisan Parfumeur The Pour Un Ete is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996, created by Olivia Giacobetti. The Pour Un Ete opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mint, settles into a heart of Mate, Jasmine, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. L'Artisan Parfumeur's The Pour Un Ete carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A gentle, elegant tea fragrance for summer that's adored for its natural feel, though its notoriously fleeting nature is a real drawback for many. If you want a personal, calming scent, this might be your jam - just don't expect it to last.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it excellent for office or casual wear, as it won't offend. However, its poor longevity and minimal sillage mean it's too understated for dates or formal events, though it could be surprisingly refreshing for light sport activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a delicate brew of green tea, infused with bright, zesty lemon and bergamot, and a whisper of fresh mint. A soft jasmine unfurls, not overly heady or indolic, but sheer and clean, resting on a subtle, clean musk base with a hint of cedar. This is a wonderfully transparent and refreshing aroma.
