On first whiff, it smells like a very expensive French milled soap - fresh, clean, floral. But oh my goodness, once it settles, it is pure springtime in a bottle. Photorealistic, fresh cut white flowers with a dewy greenness. Not indolic at all. If you like sheer, dewy spring florals like La Tulipe by Byredo, you’ll like this. As others have noted, only complaint is, since it’s all floral top notes, it does fade more quickly. Still, a lovely daytime spring floral.

This is the most beautiful smell in the world. Nothing comes close, and I have loved this for decades. It is the fragrance of life when it's at its best; the most memorable times, the most loving times. It smells so natural, and real, it takes your soul to paradise.

Gorgeous floral that dries down to a nice powder. It would be a perfect scent if it lasted longer.

The original perfume that opened the door to my lifelong obsession. Honestly, I would wear anything that Anne Flipo designs.

A lovely, light perfume. As it was mentioned earlier, not too strong which is definitely a plus for me. I can still feel it throughout the day and not to get overwhelmed by the smell.

Excellent uplifting floral. Definitely get a bit of the waxy lily, a bit of the peony, although not in the definite notes, and hits of bright bright green. Like wandering through a very airy garden with honeysuckle bushes, fresh and sweet. Moderate longevity and I can see why it's a bestseller for L'Artisan Parfumeur.

A light linden fragrance with a little bit of crushed green. It's nice, I like it, but it's not strong or lasting.

I love this scent, it is very feminine, soft and delicate. Agree with other posters that it's a nice combination of floral+green, disagree that it is "generic". On me, the longevity is excellent, I smell it on my hair and sweater/jacket the next day after I applied it on my skin.

That is definitely floral. It reminded me of my Soviet grandma's Lilly of the Valley perfume, but once I got past that, didn't seem too bad. I see how the strong floral scent could be off putting to some, and attractive to others. I find it pretty neutral. I'll finish the sample, but won't be purchasing the bottle.

This has been my standard for day perfume for many years. I wore Jessica McClintock when I was in college and this is, to me, a more refined, grown up version of that floral profile. Easy to wear in warmer weather and people comment that I smell good. My only sadness is that it fades quicker than most; however, it’s a good thing if you want a different scent for night.

I can't explain why I like this so much. Above and beyond the notes (or maybe a note I don't know), there is this "thing" I smell when it's on my skin that reminds me of being in love - the smell of kissing a lover. I don't know how else to explain it! It makes this my favourite perfume - it is magical.

Floral magic!

This smells EXACTLY like jasmine tea to me. It's a very light fresh floral which yes, as most of the other reviewers have said, is best suited to warm, sunny spring days. I don't get any linden, which is disappointing, but everything else is extremely well blended -- this is definitely not a tuberose monster. It's a bit too simple for my tastes, but it is very pretty. So if you're looking for something sheer and uncomplicated, this certainly is worth a try.

Starts as a meh generic floral, perks up to a nice hyacinth. Some artificiality to it. Not something I'd even sample again.

this was unusual for me. partly because i didn't know what to expect but also because of the similarity it has with mimosa. Though i did smell the jasmine, tuberose, and orange blossom, but ironically i smell more of a violet aspect and the overall finish was more towards a mimosa then something you would expect the perfume would deliver. Literally is identical to Calypso Christiane Celle's Mimosa perfume except more fruity and sweet and expensive. I still like it though.

I bought a full size bottle of this lovely spring scent. The top note is a strong turberose. After the first 15 minutes the true beauty of this perfumes begins! It takes me back to when I was a little girl playing in my grandmother's garden by her mock orange bush. The orange blossom is truly breathtaking. The unfortunate thing about this perfume is that it is not very strong and it doesn't last very well. Most perfumes I only need one spray. This one I need at least 5! My only wish for this is that it was stronger and longer lasting.

Don't know why I bothered sampling this- I don't really like white florals, and none of the other notes are really my thing either, but I guess I got caught up in the hype of this. Oh well I can put my curiosity to rest now. It's a sweet honeyed tuberose. Nice but not for me.

When I first put it on, it was a light floral bouquet. Was surprised at the drydown. It became a soft, subtle gardenia on my skin. Really pretty. Will have to try it a few more times. Am considering buying.

I love floral and fruity fragrance. This is a little too woodsy for me and did not last long.

It's perfect, if there is such a thing.
