Eau de Ciel Eau de Toilette

Lovely notes of dried linden and grass interlaced with airy musk. At first smell, it's totally easy to see the comparisons/family relationship to L'Artisan's L'Ete en Douce. Compared to that scent, though, Eau de Ciel feels a bit more green, earthy, and rugged. L'Ete en Douce amps up the cloudy white laundry musk much more, and it's scent trail is definitely dominated by those notes. Eau de Ciel's hay-ish drydown is more in the direction of the very rare Prada Narciso extrait in the exclusifs boutique line they had from the early 2000s...there is more of that skanky, banyard, herbal hay impression of jonquil absolute (whether or not there's actually any of that in it is another question). This is absolutely lovely and a go to spring scent for when I'm craving hay. It is, however, a very atmospheric scent, perhaps making it a bit harder to find an occasion for me to wear it. I'm rather satisfied simply smelling it and being transported to a pastoral paradise.

Truly a beautiful fragrance. I definitely get the linden blossom in the opening, mixed with a bit of tea, and then the rosewood and musk. I don't get much of the iris or beeswax. Its sweet, but not overly so. This is a plus for me, don't care for sweet scents in general. As other reviewers have noted, it has extremely short longevity. I have the EDT, and have had no success in finding the EDP. If anyone knows where to find it, please let me know!

Perfection. I’m a sucker for any perfume with a beeswax note. And this, I've literally smelled nothing like it. I also have L'Artisan Parfumeur Été en Douce but these are not even in the same league. I snatch EdC up whenever I see them, no matter the price.

soft and calming scent.... too bad its so weak :(

LINDEN?! I got a sample of this with a purchase a while ago, and never once thought of checking the notes - I took it for granted that this was a 'bitter almond' perfume! It's a dewey, noticeably green perfume that to me smells noticeably like fresh, green almond/almond water. I'm Mediterranean and it smells like some traditional pastries with orange blossom or rose water and almonds - just less sweet/syrupy. Mind blown. Like most AG fragrances I've tried, it's beautiful and evocative, but soft and doesn't last more than a couple of hours. Would not purchase, but I've enjoyed my little sample.
