Collection Été

In the year of 2013, I was VERY disappointed with Yves Rocher's summer fragrance, Retropical. Now, I didn't have many high expectations but I was still curious. The second I grabbed the bottle, sprayed it on paper and sniffed it, IT HIT ME. This fragrance is one of the most beautiful and gorgeous summer fragrances for women ever made. It has a balmy citrus scent reminiscent of Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess mixed with a soft, airy breeze that can be found in Carolina Herrera's CH L'Eau, Davidoff's Cool Water for women or D&G's Light Blue. Also, the box has the most beautiful and creative design I have ever seen in a fragrance box. Hands down, Yves Rocher! Truly one of the most precious summer essences.

I just got this, and I love it! I'm glad I tried it at home, because I just couldn't stop smelling my wrist. If you like YR's Naturelle, but don't like smelling like everyone else who is wearing D&G's Light Blue, then this is a good choice. It is similar, but not the same. It's got something 'warm' about it that reminds me a little of YR's Retropical. It's not the strongest or longest lasting, but it's not meant to be, because it's a warm/hot weather (summer) fragrance.

Collection Été is lovely, fresh, citrusy and sweet, with a gorgeous woody dry-down. Very light and gentle, yet comforting and warm. It's gorgeous. I love it. I think it lasts well enough, about 8 hours, and anyway I love spraying it on again and again, because I love it!!! It's cool and warm - such a lovely scent. Beautiful!!! And it's a lovely gentle colour, and I love the shape of the bottle! Different!!

it smells so lovely, like holidays... mmmmmh

I'm a bit surprised at how much I like this; I got it at a big discount after a short test, just to have something nice and inoffensive for summer while deciding which more expensive scent(s) to buy for the warmer seasons, but ended up liking it even among its new and more carefully considered neighbors in my wardrobe. It's fresh and light but in a warm, soft way, and it's not boring at all. I can't make out any individual notes, it's very well put together. Perfect for hot days at work, because it won't bother my coworkers (if they even notice it at all), while it'll remind me of the summer and lazy vacation life that is going on outside. It doesn't last long, but that doesn't bother me for such a cheap summery fragrance.
