Is It Springtime Again?...
Deja Le Printemps opens with what best can be described as a slightly aromatic eucalyptus-like mint and fig tandem with a fresh green grass undertone. As the fragrance enters the early heart the mint slowly fades, leaving the fig to directly mesh with the remaining green grass supported by resinous musky woody galbanum. As the composition progresses to the late dry-down a slightly sharp vetiver driven natural woody accord joins the remnants of the greens with a very faint tree moss undertone from the base adding weight to the relatively airy composition. Projection is on the low side of average, with average longevity at 6-8 hours on skin.

Deja Le Printemps did not exactly wow me when I first sprayed it on, but its eucalyptus-like fig and mint really does gain appeal as it gradually couples with the green grass and galbanum in the heart. That aside, it is the late dry-down with its welcome addition of vetiver and woods, however, that turns the composition into something special as they combine extremely well with the remaining greens and the aromatic fig. This whole effect indeed conjures visions of a spring countryside with fig trees in the background, green grassy fields and wild aromatic herbs growing within. The bottom line is the 120 euro per 100ml bottle Deja Le Printemps delivers what its name promises, earning a "very good" 3.5 stars out of 5 and a solid recommendation especially to lovers of fragrances like Eau de Campagne by Sisley.

Hey hey hay
Well this was fun for about half an hour. The opening was surprisingly fresh and evoked indeed a fresh springtime mood. Picture a dewy green meadow of pollen-rich herbs and wildflowers. Nice woody support.

And then.. Ah yes the 'hay' note, induced by a fierce dose of coumarin. That's where the fun ends for me personally. The green turns greyish-yellowish (beige-ish?) and the freshness makes place for a warmer musky-woody blandness.

Note to self: avoid coumarin-heavy perfumes.

Delicate as a spider's web
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!

for singular tastes
Very French. It's a bit too grassy for my taste but I will say that the fig and musk give it a solid foundation. Fair warning, Oriza L. Legrand likes cedar and while I adore it and don't mind smelling like a cedar chest, it's not for everyone. Lots of clover post dry-down. The orange blossom isn't strong enough for me to wear it.

Freshly Mowed Meadow
"Déjà Le Printemps" could be described as a plastic scent. It smells almost like a freshly mowed meadow. This inner image appears immediately after I apply "Déjà Le Printemps." In that respect, the name isn't quite right: "Already Spring?" This fragrance is one that can be perceived in the middle of spring when hay is being harvested.
The scent begins immediately with a grassy aroma, and the fragrance of many different plants that grow in a good meadow, such as bitter clover, dandelion, plantain, various types of grass, sometimes a mint, herbs, flowers. It smells as if the meadow has been mowed in the morning dew and now the plants would begin to wilt and ferment. Yes, as if they were already a little wilted on a sultry hot late spring day. Because I smell coumarin. Also astonishing is the very authentic fresh earthy smell that can be clearly detected shortly after mowing a hay meadow. Even when mowing with a scythe, which I have done, you come across mostly loose soil, in molehills, and that smells like earth.
This freshly mowed meadow scenario lasts about an hour.
Then I smell fig leaves; they could also be other tree leaves and fresh thin branches that are torn off by the mower or whose soft shoots are effortlessly cut by the scythe. I can't name it so distinctly.
Then "Déjà Le Printemps" becomes additionally floral, but I can neither identify lily of the valley nor any other flowers. There are simply sweet floral scents. Perhaps wild carrot flowers, nettle flowers? And definitely the scent of clover blossoms. And it still smells of green plants in the fermentation process. I also perceive the slightly sharp and somewhat pungent note of galbanum umbels. There could also be other umbellifers. Some of them also smell strange. A slightly citrusy note mixes in. I cannot identify cedar and vetiver. Nor musk. But moss that is also cut and torn during mowing is perceptible.
When I think about it, "Déjà Le Printemps" is so far the authentic green meadow scent that I have sniffed. Andy Tauer's "Collectible - ZETA a Linden Blossom" comes very close to "Déjà Le Printemps," but is subtler and more citrusy, sweeter, and definitely also smells of linden. It is not a light fragrance. A freshly mowed meadow exudes a rather intoxicating scent. It is a truly rural scent, "Déjà Le Printemps." For all those who miss nature and its scents: This would be a fragrance that clearly reminds one of that. The longevity is good, and the sillage is also strong. I am not sure whether I should find "Déjà Le Printemps" beautiful or perhaps a bit too intrusive.

Minty, Galby and Grassy run wild in the garden, until Mama Chamomile calls them back in. A green playground with a calming touch.

Cut grass, mint, an incredibly green and natural scent with amazingly decent longevity. To the point it could be *too* realistic for some.

Incredible mint and fig opening. Idyllic, fresh, dry and naturalistic. Short lived as vetiver soon overpowers

The musty smell from last winter still lingers in the rooms
The figs in the basket remind me of the last vacation
First grasses, green, in the mint-white cold.

Exactly my thing. A fireworks display of green notes. From herbal to leafy, floral to mossy. It never gets too fresh or too harsh.

Plenty of green cuttings, from fresh-herbaceous to dried-crinkly, floral notes, mossy earth, and a hint of fig. A bit quirky...
