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.

This magnificient fragrance perfectly captures the smell of a 7pm cooling lawn after a sunny day. I can see dandelions and crickets. It is singular, beautiful, elegant and playful as well. This reminds me a lot of Relique d'Amour (without the wet chapel vibe). It's almost as if they depicted the same place, each focusing on different details. To me, Déjà le printemps depicts the blooming garden of the abandoned chapel that is Relique. Ideal for spring/summer and during the day. Lasts a lot longer than Relique on my skin.

Bitter grassy notes to open -- certainly mown hay and clover, a little aromatic and tangy like fennel. This is the smell of hot, crushed wild grass that is still green, full of acerbic poisonous sap. There is a lovely mild sweetness to this too, lively and evocative of tender green shoots, young and virile. This is where rattlesnakes find respite in the shade on a hot day. Deja Le Printemps is strong in character. Delicately applied to layer, this would bring a beautiful green balance to any soliflor.

Ok on my skin this isn't green at all. Maybe because I had the pleasure of smelling Viola decumbens, a gentle smelling Spring flower. To my nose this is the same exact smell. And what they usually call Violet in the perfume world to me doesn't smell of any flower I've ever smelled in nature. But in any case, on a paper strip or on my skin, I sense no traces of Vetiver or Cedar. It is Violet first, then musky in a feminine way. And possibly the only Oriza fragrance that doesn't smell old fashioned.

I am sampling this currently after being recommended to try it at a local perfumery. On paper, this is something I would not usually go for but HOLY smokes this is amazing. If springtime could be bottled, it would be this. That feeling of coming out of a long, deep winter when you can feel the change in the air and everything just smells and looks different? This is that! The grass, mint, and fig leaf come through so beautifully. I can't justify buying a big bottle yet but soon!

A refreshing, delicate, green fragrance that authentically offers up each note listed in it’s composition as though carried on a breeze. Springtime, indeed, but also suitable for summer or a warm fall day. The longevity/sillage could be better, but this is the kind of fragrance one wears for one’s self not just others. To wear it is to both recall memories and attach to new.

This perfume is one of two from Oriza that I adore - Horizon. Deja is clean, green, dry, a natural. Gorgeous Spring and summer scent. Its a Monet in a bottle - hazy, country paint strokes in liquid form. You think its going to disappear after an hour but its more tenacious than you think. Get their sample pack - you won't be disappointed.

Unbelievably yummy, fresh, green scent. Very figgy and grassy. It's like a lighter hearted Philosykos, and frankly I think I might love it more (though it doesn't last as long).

Halfway through my little sample box, this sample of this house at this point may be the most unwearable of the ones I tried so far, but simultaneously it is also the one that conjures up the most nostalgic memories for me. To give this verdict a little background, in my home country - Germany - there is a deeply rooted culture of natural self-medication with a plethora of herbal remedies. There are herbal rubs and soaks to cure sore muscles, herbal infusions/teas to cure anything from a sore throat to an upset tummy, little herbal pillows/bundles for headaches, and concentrated tinctures of herbal essences for the digestive system and overall immunity. Those herbal remedies may most commonly contain things like camomille, melissa, peppermint, sweet clover, fennel, wolf's bane, sage, valeriana, liquorice, aniseed, mugwort, and many more things I just can't remember off the top of my head. Well, the opening of this fragrance smells exactly like a cough drop ointment my mom used to give me diluted in water whenever I was sick, sharp and very herbal with a strong camomile note on top. The dry down is more gentle and pleasing, the camomile milder now with soft green herbal undertones, like an already cooled down herbal infusion. I don't find it unpleasant at all, mind, I just connect it so strongly to home remedies, that it would be really hard for me to consider it a fragrance to wear. If I smelled it on another person I would also not mind it, but I would presume they have some smaller ailment which they are currently self-treating. Now, I do not mean to deter people from this fragrance with this! This is really just my very specific subjective impression that is largely due to my cultural background. If you like it, do wear it and wear it proudly! It smells very close to nature, very grounded. Like the goddess Eostre walking through the forest in springtime to wake up all that lives and grows for the new season. While the opening felt a bit more masculine, the dry-down is unisex, maybe leaning slightly feminine. Decent sillage and longevity too. I will never wear it out, but I really do appreciate the creative effort and nostalgic feeling it's giving me. Solid like.

Obsessed with the scent, not thrilled by the sillage. I have to get *real* close to this one to get anything, but it absolutely evokes its namesake. In fact, I described it not knowing what it was trying to be, and I was spot on with the official description, citing dewy grass, daisies, and the wind in spring. It’s a wisp, though. Unsure if I can justify the full size at this price point and it’s *impossible* to get at a lower cost in the U.S... I also got Relique d’Amour in this round of samples, and though I’ve been fantasizing about smelling Deja for nearly a year at this point, I think I like Relique more despite being quite an upbeat and bubbly person. Deja is optimistic: nascent, budding, bobbing in the breeze. Relique, in contrast, is somber: ancient, moldering, statuesque in the fog. Both are evocative, but if I’m ever to choose a poem, it’s always the darker one. I love you, Mary Oliver, but it’s going to be Frank Stanford every time if I’m forced to choose! Guess it’s just the Appalachian in me. Final thoughts: A green and smiling sister to Relique. I see the faces of Mucha's seasons, coy muses wrapped in vibrant layers of aesthetic history, stated simply as can be: Spring. The wind blows over dewy blades of grass and the sun warms the pollen on the lilies and daisies. You can almost hear the air twinkling around you — like laughter, like chimes. The faint aroma of chamomile wafts out of an open window from your lone cabin in a pastoral landscape. It's enchanting, and a better performer than Relique longevity and projection-wise... but is it really me?

I've red many reviews saying that it smells so delicate and ethereal. To me it doesn't smell as innocent and and springtime-like as the bottle and description suggests. What it evokes to me is the fields in late summer, when the harvest is done and wild plants and flowers start growing in, dampened by the first autumn rain. Also, something about it is quite sexy, like human skin after a long walk in nature. It's green but not in a fresh way, more like in a natural herbaceous way, like actual freshly picked plants. When I first tried it, it reminded me of something, but I really couldn't put my finger on it. Today I pulled out my Womanity decant to smell it again and review it, and then I realized: they have very much in common to me. I guess it's the fig leaf that gives them a similar damp-green vegetable latex note, which I guess is the note I perceive the most in this perfume. Deja la Primtemps smells quite different tho, very prominent and vegetabe fig latex note, but not in a sticky "humid" way like in Womanity, in here it's rounded up by other dry and fresh notes. I love its chypre-like structure, the base notes (of which I get vetiver the most, perhaps made a bit more bitter by oakmoss) make it agrestic yet quite refined and more complex than other green frags. Truly a gem for those who love the countryside and the smell of actual plants. I can see myself wearing this for outdoors activities in late spring or summer.

A delicate, slightly sweet, fresh green scent. I would put Deja Le Printemps together with other zen-like scents such as Calvin Klein's Truth, Bond No. 9's High Line and Nuit Etoilee by Annick Goutal. The grass is truly green in this scent, slightly sweetened in a natural manner by the clover note. The galbanum brings to mind an association with Chanel's No. 19 but not as strong as in No. 19. The camomile, mint and fig are present as well but there is nothing loud about this scent. Truth would be far more aquatic than Deja Le Printemps, Nuit Etoilee has a wonderful strong mint note that is muted here and High Line has the hyacinth note that makes it different from Deja Le Printemps and the others. It's not predominantly any single note but a nicely crafted, very natural smelling, calming as camomile tea, green scent. Sadly the lasting power is pretty abysmal on my skin, lasting about 2 hours and slightly better on clothes. It is a pity as I found sniffing this scent very soothing, totally unlike my usual desires of heady flowers and rich spices but in my opinion would have been a worthy buy if not for the poor staying power which is unfortunately worse than my experiences with L'Artisan. For those who have better fortune with the longevity, lucky you and enjoy!

181) Forever green un floral vert délicat assez rétro. On peut voir une veine un peu chypré comme dans le récent Perle de Mousse d’Ann Gérard. Le nom est parfaitement choisi, l'effet général est celui d'un vaste jardin au printemps lorsqu'on vient de couper le gazon entre deux averses. A mon goût le meilleur parfum "purement vert" naturaliste que l'on puisse trouver, je veux dire par naturaliste très éloigné des parfums verts abstraits comme Pentachord Verde de Tauer et plutôt basé sur le rendu d'une expérience. Le souvenir d'une ballade dans un parc Parisien ou la première fois qu'on se rend compte que l'herbe coupée ça peut sentir délicieusement bon? A delicatequite retro green floral. You can smell a chypré vein as in the recent Perle de Mousse d'Ann Gerard. The name is well chosen, the overall effect is that of a large garden in the spring when the grass is cut between two showers. To my taste the best Naturalist "pure green" perfume that we can find, by naturalist I mean very distant from abstract green scents like Pentachord Verde by Tauer and rather based on the rendering of an experiment. The memory of a walk in a Parisian park, or the first time you realize that cut grass can smell deliciously good?

Sweet Grass, Light Woodsy Musk, Hint of Green Opening Smells like a freshly stocked cedar barn hayloft (no indolic funk) in August. This is an olfactive portrait of a freshly stacked hayrick. It opens with a lovely fresh bitter green scent then within in minutes it becomes photorealistic hay/straw scent. There is also a hint of a honeyed green scent in the heart likely from the clover. I do not get as much greenness as some of the other reviewers, but perhaps it's because I love green scents and like to overdose myself with them that my expectations for greenness are just too high. As a typical Wisconsinite, I have smelled my fair share of fresh hay/straw on a farm, and this scent is all hay to my nose and very little grass. Perhaps there is also leather saddle sitting in the middle of this haystack. As it dries down I get a lot of musky earthy and leathery vetiver with hint of woodiness. This is surprising light on my skin and fades fairly quickly. This is solid like for me, but not a love. I would have hoped for a fresher wetter green scent with "Printemps" in the name. This is a dry late August scent to my nose and does not live up to my expectations of spring.

Most realistic fresh-cut grass note I have ever encountered. Truth be told it reminds me more of a lawn in summer than spring. But it is nice. Within an hour it seemed like all the green grass was gone and that the perfume was close to fading into oblivian. I went about my day and figured I would go without perfume once this disappeared. Soon enough I started smelling the perfume wafting up to my nose, but I really needed to put it close to my nose to be able to describe it. There was no green grass left at all, and it smelled woody instead. The dryness of it seemed like cedar. This phase went on for a couple more hours before it became more of a vetyver scent. After a couple more hours, I swear I smelled sweet fig leaf. The perfume was a skin scent for most of its wear. In total it lasted about 10 hours on me. While it is much too weak for my taste and also not my idea of spring, I really enjoyed its complexity and evolution. I would still recommend it because a green perfume like this is typically not a sillage monster anyway, and it is also more complex and interesting than most perfumes of this genre.

If you love the smell of freshly cut grass, you’ll love this too; I certainly do, even if it makes me sneeze a little. Despite its grassy character, this fragrance is also creamy. When I later checked the notes, seeing fig leaves didn’t surprise me; I had already sensed their presence. Clean, airy florals accompany the greenery, always carrying it into a calm and happy space. There’s a touch of minty freshness, but it doesn’t feel like washing mint under running water; it simply supports and uplifts the freshness. I adored this one: green, creamy, cheerful like stepping barefoot into the very first day of spring! The only downside is how weak it is :( It makes you want to drench yourself head to toe just to stay wrapped in it a little longer.... Tag(s): grassy, spring, creamy fig
