Parfum d'Ete 2002

Parfum d'Ete 2002 is a floral green fragrance for women, composed by Antoine Lie for Kenzo in 2002, a reworking of the house's earlier Parfum d'Ete. Green notes and lily-of-the-valley open it, leafy and cool rather than sweet, and the heart keeps the same register: hyacinth and peony with jasmine adding the only real richness. White musk and sandalwood close it softly. It smells of cut stems and water, which is what it set out to do. It lasts a moderate while and projects moderately, and it suits spring and summer daylight.
