Un Été Français

This is a greener less gourmand Sunkissed Goddess, imo. I'm not mad, it's a like from me.. nothing stands out to really elevate this into something outstanding though. I like my perfumes to have longevity, but sillage isn't so important to me personally. This is not a loud fragrance by any means, but it definitely lasts on my skin for 8+ hours There's a strong hit of green for only a couple minutes on the top then it settles into the sun tan lotion smell. I do really like the hit of green, albeit brief! A few hours in its sun tan lotion with a dry vanilla backbone. UPDATE: Changing to a love! Don’t know what it is but the overwhelming sun tan smell isn’t as striking as my first wear/impression. I swapped out for a couple different fragrances over the last couple days but I couldn’t get this out of my mind! Yes, the similarities I’d originally noted are still present, but I’ve grown to appreciate the florals here as well. They’ve really opened up and are giving a delightful floral melody throughout! She’s become a dry creamy vanilla floral. I’m always a sucker for greens and Celines (lol), and this one is wrapping me in my own little delicious cloud 🌿🥥🌼

This is absolutely beautiful! I got a shared 10ml from a friend recently, and at first it was a little sharp... bright citrus and neroli. It reminded me of Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver Harvest and Forte. But more so the forte because of how creamy it is. But now that it's been a few weeks and it's has time to settle. I tried it again today and I am sooooooo in love with it. It's so intoxicating. I smell a lot more pillowy and creamy vanilla mixed with a fresh citrus/Neroli/petitgrain combo. It's absolutely gorgeous. Now that it's settled, that true, beautiful Celine vanilla that we have all come to know and love it's definitely present here. It definitely steers away from Dans Paris, Black Tie, and Night Clubbing. It's in the same family as Cologne FRANÇAISE and Parade. But this one out does the latter. It's the decadent Celine vanilla in this for me!! FB worthy!

Yeah yeah, I’m commenting yet again! I’ve got to make a few more notes on this. I have fallen HARD for this one. I’ve worn this every single day (minus maybe 2?) since I got it about a month and a half ago. My bottle is nearly half-gone as well! Both of these facts are genuinely unheard of for me. I cannot help myself, she is DELICIOUS and profoundly beautiful on me! Longevity is ~7-8hrs so I reapply when I get home if I’m going out again. This really re-ups the green notes and projection. I LOVE Celine’s vanilla and imho, I believe this fragrance is its most complimentary blend. I get a dry vanilla mixing beautifully with the yellow/coconutty gorse. The other notes flank the heart and work so this never veers into cloying territory whatsoever. So so well blended. 10/10 would wear again.. and again. 🤩

Oh my gosh! I know a lot of the comments before me mentioned sun tan lotion or cleaning products but on my skin, this is divine and I am so happy I finally have Un Été Français in my collection! It’s sharp at first, yes. The Petit Grain note, surely. It is floral and so fresh and full of sunshine too. As the fragrance develops, I do get that hint of sunscreen people are mentioning but not in a bad way at all. It’s more aromatic to me than anything else. The sweetness of the vanilla comes last mingling with the aromatic notes in the dry down and though it isn’t sweet per se, it has that particular Céline Vanilla that I love. It’s the same note found in Dans Paris or Parade. I love their Vanilla! All in all, it’s a love for me, I am thrilled to have it!!

As a guy, this is so fantastic as a standalone or layering scent in the summer. The suntan lotion vibe is real but in a beautiful way that radiates class and smells exactly how I feel on a perfect summer day. Easy to wear at the office or out on the water. It is not overwhelming, and seems to last much longer than other Celine fragrances. It still has that classic Celine DNA and goes great with Parade. If you love fresh summer scents (that actually smell like summer) this will likely be a hit for you too.
