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 the French summer should smell!

If the color yellow had a scent, it would be this fragrance. It smells creamy from broom and neroli, with neroli being very present here and making up the whole fragrance. It is also creamy-green from the petitgrain and not sweet. The fragrance, although it resembles a sun cream, has an overall fresh, creamy, sesame-soft, summery effect. After 2 hours, it becomes 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 the Tom Ford's creation is brighter, more present, sweeter with ylang- ylang infused.
Although I find the fragrance good for summer days, for me it does not justify its price-performance ratio. You could also smell like this with a sun cream or with Nivea Sun Parfum.... and maybe even longer.

No glamor, but quiet beauty

A fragrance like a daydream on the Riviera: Un Été Français opens like a salt-kissed breeze blowing through an open window, flooding the room with light and life. The first notes are carried by cool, sparkling bergamot - reminiscent 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 fragrance with a green freshness. It is soft, warm, sunny and yet always a little wild. In France, it is deeply rooted in the landscape 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, gorse is often a symbol of natural grace and resilience. No glamor, but quiet beauty.

Suddenly there is also music. Very softly, almost like a memory that doesn't announce itself - "Di Doo Dah" by Jane Birkin. The melody is in the air like sunlight: playful, shy, a little quirky. No grand gesture, just a whispered "Je suis là" - I'm here.

And she appears. The woman in the salopette. Not staged, but present. Her outfit, the loose-fitting denim dungarees, the classic Breton striped shirt, looks as if she's never worn anything else. Her sandals clack softly on the warm pavement, a straw hat in her hand, a book under her arm.

She is not an apparition, she is part of the summer. Her skin carries salt and sun, her thoughts blow 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 movie, a lived afternoon, a memory of a feeling that never quite fades away.

A daydream under the impressionist sky

There are scenes that you immediately associate with a movie - and for me it's the scene on the skyscraper in Vanilla Sky, where Tom Cruise stands on the roof and the famous call goes out: Open your eyes.

What Tom Cruise sees at this moment is a sky that could hardly be more beautiful: vanilla-colored, pastel tones, boundless, almost surreal. This sky is no coincidence, but consciously inspired by the impressionist paintings of Claude Monet. I just can't remember which one.

This is exactly the kind of sky I see when I smell Un Été Français by Celine: the most beautiful pastel yellow tones, merging seamlessly into an emerald green Mediterranean landscape - all flooded with light and full of vanilla harmony, as if Monet himself had wielded his brush as soft as butter.

When I smell the fragrance, however, it is not just a dreamlike impressionist sky that opens up, but a whole daydream. Un Été Français is more than just a fragrance - it is a journey back to the summer memories of childhood and youth.
And yes, perhaps it wasn't a vacation on the French Riviera, but afternoons in a dreary swimming pool, not a Mediterranean thicket, but the smell of freshly mown grass at the edge of the pool, not a salty sea breeze, but a slight smell of chlorine in your hair. And yet the feeling was certainly the same: happiness, lightness and light-heartedness - something that sometimes gets lost in everyday life.

It is precisely these memories that are brought to life by the fragrance: I perceive a subtle note of sun cream on warm skin, perhaps also a hint of coconut creaminess and a green, soft vanilla sweetness, which Celine does very well. The wheel is not completely reinvented here, but the fragrance is really beautiful to my nose.

I would like to end this review with a film quote from Sofia, alias Penélope Cruz:
"Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around."
Perhaps this fragrance will also awaken beautiful daydreams in you and remind you to stay open to the special moments that life has in store - and the chance to make the most of them.
I hope you enjoy discovering it and say in closing: "Open your eyes."
