Thé Pour un Été (1996)
by L'Artisan Parfumeur

A feminine floral fragrance. Highlighted by iris and jasmine notes with a touch of citrus behind it. Give it about 10 minutes, and you'll notice an awesome natural smelling spearmint note creeping in. Unlike others, I don't pick up on any tea notes; I'm a big tea fan, and I wanna believe it's there, but I just don't get any. It doesn't smell like just jasmine, iris, mint, and citrus though; there's without doubt something there bonding it all together, keeping it exceptionally well balanced. I'll assume that's the green tea. Unfortunately, I don't smell the green tea by itself though.

A beautiful fragrance for a woman imo, but as a man, not something I wanna wear. Longevity is over 8 hours.

I agree with Lorenzo88. Perfect jasmine tea. This my beginning foray into scent reviews so feel very lame and tongue-tied. This is a perfectly acceptable frag but does not inspire me at all. I will not purchase a full bottle when my sample is finished.

I really enjoy this jasmine tea floral combo, however I found that it does not last very long on my skin. A very light, super safe frag for the more timid peeps and which I think is slightly too feminine to be unisex.... beautiful nonetheless.

Thé pour un Été starts is a crisp, cheerful lemon and green tea scent that transforms into a bright, transparent, lemony jasmine. Graceful, sweet-natured, and perfectly poised, this scent is a happy child playing in the summer sun. Simple and lovely.

Very close to L'Occitane The Vert au Jasmin, which is cheaper. It's a lovely tea scent if you must purchase something from L'Artisan, though.

Weak tea with lemon...that's it for me with this one. I don't dislike it; I don't like it. I guess I should say lukewarm weak tea with lemon. It is one of the only disappointments from this really good perfumery.
