Deja Le Printemps

Deja Le Printemps Oriza L. Legrand, This smells like real mowed field, not the yard grass. But the one in the wild nature. It is now 30c in Thailand, still breezy but the sun is getting stronger. Our gardener starts mow the field as the grass start growing tall. I walk across, I smell something reminds of "Deja Le Printemps". last night; I just do comparison of this scent before the bath. After the bath, I rub myself with Mitsouko eau de cologne follow with 3 sprays of Marescialla, SMN. The next day, I used Oeillet Sauvage by L'Artisan Parfumeur. At that moment I got the whip of herbal grass. I sniff myself; wondering, does Deja Le Printemps last this long!? . No, there is no trace of Deja Le Printemps left on my body. Deja Le Printemps just happen to smell like breeze of fresh cut grass. It is already spring. (Structure wise : Deja Le Printemps : Is a grassy vetiver with slight of sweet Fig. It has herbaceous support and fairy strong labdanum and soft incense feel. The concoction seems to be a strong scent but this still work in lightess as usual from Oriza. I think this makes a perfect fragrance for Saturday, a walk in the park) === January 6, 2026 I revisit this today, well it is already spring.

I have to admit I pay as much attention to the descriptions of perfumes as to the notes. This got my attention immediately! Probably because I'm in a phase of my life when I really enjoy green scents, and I love Nature. All the perfumes from this house sound and smell great, but I'm so glad I decided to buy this one, as I fell in love with it after the first sniff. :) The opening is very green and very fresh. I can smell grass, (fig) leaves, and clover. I don't get much of mint. And I get no lily of the valley at all, but I really don't mind. It's probably somewhere there with the orange blossom making sure this green scent isn't too green or sharp. But it doesn't smell flowery or sweet at all. I can get all the base notes when I try to smell them out, but I prefer to perceive them all together, because to me they smell almost like pine nuts. The base notes become more vivid after some time. This perfume is indeed like a walk through the countryside that's awakening after a long winter. It's very green, almost herbal, slightly woody, and actually quite subtle, yet very powerful. I adore it.

I got this in a fragrance fitting as a green/herbaceous scent lover out of 12 different scents, and this is a winner. It is fresh, cool, slightly floral, delicate, and grassy. It really reminds me of being in a grassy field with morning dew. The mint, thankfully, is not strong and I can’t even detect it; it just adds a freshness to the scent. I love everything from the chamomile-infused opening to the grassy middle, and the light musky fresh-dirt dry-down. It reminds me a lot of my indoor-outdoor cat, who rolls around in clean dirt and grass in our garden all day. On my skin, the chamomile and grassy scent lasts about an hour. On fabric, the grassiness lasts for a good 4-6 hours. Very unisex, very wearable for me. I ended up getting a full bottle of this and have been enjoying it on days I want to feel light or one with nature.

WOW! So very fresh and green. Im lying down on newly mown lawn on a cool spring day. Its spot on. Its lovely to smell in the middle of winter. The mint is low key but present and I definitely get the chamomile softness and the sweetness from the clover. I have no idea what fig leaves smell like so I cant comment. The musk, cedar and moss hold the fort to the end. As an experienced gardener I guess I am very tuned into the fragrances of plants and this smells so natural. No BO or bug spray here! Im so glad the musk is never strong in Oriza fragrances. It is sad for me that the longevity is not good but I guess that is mostly down to the type of notes in this. Fresh and invigorating whilst it lasted.

Everyone seems to have their own little fantasy with this perfume. For me it was a redwood forest in a spring rain. Like, the whole thing, down to the ferns and the moss and pine cones. I LOVE it. I was able to sample all of the Oriza Legrand fragrances and this is my favorite. All of them kind of have a musty, sickly sweet undernote, what is that? I have no idea. It smells like an old 19th century farm house. But for some reason that crisp green herbal spark in Deja Le Printemps makes it work. It's a unique addition to my collection.
