French riviera summer

I tried my sample today and instantly fell in love, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why the scent felt so familiar. Then it hit me - I have the oil versions of both the neroli and orange blossom by Ortigia, and I usually layer them because they're my dream team on very hot and humid summer days. Soleil Blanc too, now that I think about it.
Un ete francais smells incredibly similar, although a little sweeter than Ortigia and more citrusy than Soleil Blanc, and much more long lasting. It opens with a bold hit of neroli, in all its bitter green glory, but as it starts to settle it becomes increasingly creamy, leaving behind a balmy, salty feeling - like the scent of your skin after a day spent sunbathing on the French Riviera.
It's incredibly chic, just like the rest of the Celine offerings.

This is how a French summer should smell!

If the color yellow had a scent, it would be this fragrance. It smells creamy from the broom and neroli, with neroli being very prominent here and making up the entire scent. It is also creamy-green rounded by petitgrain, but not sweet. The fragrance, although it resembles a sunscreen, overall feels fresh-creamy, sesame-soft, summery. After 2 hours, it settles even milder, more Nivea-creamy on the skin. Definitely a summer fragrance candidate and rather feminine for me - soft, warm, yellowish, radiating warmth.
Similarity to Soleil Blanc - absolutely, but Tom Ford's creation is brighter, more present, sweeter, infused with ylang-ylang.
Although I find the fragrance good for summer days, for me, its price-performance ratio is not justified. One could also smell like a sunscreen or with Nivea-Sun perfume... and perhaps even longer.

No Glamour, but Quiet Beauty

A fragrance like a daydream on the Riviera: Un Été Français opens like a salt-kissed breeze wafting through the open window, flooding the room with light and life. The first notes are carried by cool, zesty bergamot - they remind me of the first glass of Orangina in the shade of a pine tree while the sun dances outside.

Then comes the broom, a bright yellow summer messenger that grows wild in the hills of southern France, exuding a honeyed, almost coconut-like scent with green freshness. It is soft, warm, sunny, and yet always a little wild. In France, it is deeply rooted in the landscapes of Provence and Brittany, where it shines on coastal slopes and in field edges like a living fan of sunlight. In the poetry of French literature, broom often symbolizes natural grace and resilience. No glamour, but quiet beauty.

Suddenly, there is music too. Very softly, almost like a memory that doesn’t announce itself - “Di Doo Dah” by Jane Birkin. The melody hangs in the air like sunlight: playful, shy, a little offbeat. No grand gesture, but a whispered “Je suis là” - I am here.

And she appears. The woman in the overalls. Not staged, but present. Her outfit, the loosely falling denim overalls, the classic Breton striped shirt, seems as if she has never worn anything else. Her sandals click softly on the warm pavement, a straw hat in her hand, a book under her arm.

She is no apparition; she is part of summer. Her skin carries salt and sun, her thoughts drift like her hair. Perhaps she is thinking of nothing - or of everything that is still possible.

Un Été Français is not a fragrance of grand gestures. It is a quiet film, a lived afternoon, a memory of a feeling that never quite fades.

Pleasant Unisex with Typical Celine DNA

The sample of Un Été Français reached me unexpectedly. While I always enjoy testing new releases, I wouldn't have rushed to get this one based solely on the fragrance pyramid. The combination of bergamot with petitgrain and neroli sounded too bitter/piercing/harsh to me, and I could hardly imagine how it would find a pleasant balance with gorse and vanilla.

However, the manufacturer's sample was there, and it piqued my curiosity.

Generally, there are few scents with neroli that I like. I usually find it piercing, rather masculine, and often old-fashioned. But here it is really well-rounded. The fragrance is equally refreshing and soft from the very beginning. I would have expected to wait longer for the vanilla base to emerge, but that is not the case. Coconut is not listed, but I perceive it along with the vanilla. In the drydown, the warm-soft notes prevail, and you smell well-groomed and moisturized.
Un Été Français is a very mature summer scent, fresh, creamy, lightly woody, and unisex wearable.
Typical Celine DNA - smells expensive, is not loud, and is very pleasing, but not generic.

The sillage is close to the skin, which I find very fitting and pleasant. When someone wears this fragrance, it is perceived rather subtly. Very unobtrusive and stylish.

I cannot assess the longevity, as I only tested one spray on my skin. Here it lasts at least a few hours, but it becomes quieter.

For anyone looking for a pleasant, elegant, and unsweet summer scent, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

It smells like an unremarkable body lotion, but it does evoke some memories.

Strong sheen through the green notes in the opening that reveal a lightly creamy sweeter scent later on. Very nicely executed.

Warm skin on a balmy evening, after a day at the beach. Vestiges of waves and sunscreen evoking the earlier sun.

Reminds me of Carnal Flower without the greenery. A camphoraceous, creamy scent that makes me think of (unlisted) eucalyptus and tuberose

Neroli Blitz!

In the valley, hope blooms

You have to like broom here, which stands elegantly matte at the center. Neroli and citrus notes remain distinguished in the background: fine!

Broom-green vanilla butter smooths sun-kissed skin. Soon the neroli freshness fades and a hint of unsweet coconut emerges.

Creamy & very artificially green
Barely fresh, more of an unpleasant toilet cleaner experience
Everything is overshadowed by a rotten, mushy coconut paste..
