Summer by Kenzo

My most favorite perfume when I was in high school. My friends always complimented it, and it really felt like it was so me.

I found www.eaunique.de, where there are a lot of dupes of discontinued parfums. One of them is Sunset, which is a awesome one on one duplicate from Summer by Kenzo. Just saying…❤️

Very handsoapy in a nice way. I got the 0.12ml splash from ebay, which is perfect for me because I wouldn't want to wear a lot of this at once, just a little dab. Makes me think of coming back from an appointment on a sunny summer day and then sitting outside in the grass. edit: they dry down is SO LOVELY...still soapy but much less so. I feel chic and clean.

Este perfume para nada huele a mimosa

I have a 50 ml and a 25 ml of this devine perfume. I treasure it like liquid gold 💰 When they are done, then that was that.... No more 😭 I have not found any close replacement 💔 Very office friendly. Fresh, clean, soapy .... sunshine in a leafy bottle 🥰

Wow this is breathtaking. I was not expecting that ... got a small bottle for 45$. I thought : I cannot be bad, must be nice. No, finally this is beautiful. I smell waxy grass, dirty mimosa, spring flowers and something "sunny" (maybe the citruses) on a delicate amber/almond base. It's actually quite potent for such a delicate scent. 2-3 sprays and I'm fine. It's actually the best mimosa I've ever smelled. I might go back and buy the remaining bottle at the store hihi. Another win with Kenzo vintage-issh fragrances.

All I can say is please bring it back I can't find it anywhere and I can't find a similar scent to this!

I registered here just to write my review on this particular perfume, as I myself am overjoyed that I got it and want to share this joy. I received a sample size some 15 years ago and fell in love with it, asking my dad to bring it from the trip he was going to. He brought Kenzo Flower instead of Summer saying that this fragrance is no longer in stores and I tried hard to hide my dissapointment. Years and years I was desperately looking for something clean, soapy and chic at the same time and none of the bottles in my shelf made it to become my very favourite signature scent. Until not sure what made me remember about this perfume. I was determined to find it and I did. I ordered one and as soon I received it, I just fell into a time capsule of such a nostalgy and joy! The way the scent plays on my skin and clothes is just incredible and even though many reviewers do not like the soapiness it gives, I absolutelly love it in the combination of other notes of fresh flowers and powder. It is not just another fresh scent, it has a soul and I trully think that if you want to charm someone, this is it. Another story is really the pain of it being discontinued… If you are able to find it, the price will be high. I bought 3 bottles and consider it as an investment in my overall image and my great mood when I wear it.

This is unique and I'm dying to get a bottle of it. I only have a mini and I treasure it . I didn't know I could love mimosa until I tried summer by kenzo. The mimosa here is fluffy creamy sunshine It's a chameleon that changes according to the season . It's clean soapy fresh floral with hints of green in summer It's a cloud of creamy lotiony powdery almondy mimosa in winter It's perfect all year round. It's natural ,smooth and feminine. The notes blends together seemlessly the bright uplifting citrus and dewy green fresh white flowers with a hint of indole from jasmine softened by subtle musk and creamy milky almonds and there's a little sweetness and a subtle woodiness adorned by this beautiful powdery veil from violet and all of these notes supports the stunning fluffy sophisticated warm mimosa. There's hints of baby powder or baby lotion and a buttery feel to it. It's divine You wear this and the world became peaceful,safe and calm and you feel relaxed ,adored and carefree in the embrace of your beloved one while sitting in a beautiful summer meadow. It may seem simple but it's complex and well made . It's light ,airy , delicate, uplifting,warm, clean,fresh,sophisticated and feminine .

Mimosa+ cream+ yellow flowers= SUMMER by Kenzo. I do not think it lasts very well on my skin, still I do not mind to reaply.

So I bought a 75 ml of this at a local thrift shop for next to nothing and thought the bottle looked really cute so I got it and I really love it! It's summer in a leaf shaped bottle, period. When you put on sunscreen and go outside on a hot day this is basically it. It's a little almondy and creamy and warm and delicious and it reminds me of how much I miss summer and I can't wait for it to get here!!! Until then...this baby will have to do! Update: it's summer and this is pure magic in the sun. The hot weather does something amazing where it takes this and makes it soapy clean and sweet on my skin. Not really fresh tho, just clean. Like Dove soap. I can't get enough of this. It's the must underrated scent in my collection!

I just bought this, I opened it! I did one spray and I don’t like it!!! I was so looking forward to it that I feel like a fool having bought it without trying it first! It turns out that I hate mimosa smell. The mimosa never goes, and stays lingering. No long later then it gives you a real powdery clean/sunscreen smell that I thought I would really love but....I do not! If anybody is interested happy to resell! Please message me!!!

I found a bottle when it was already discountinued. It was my summer scent for that year. Absolutely adorable! It smells like mimosas and cream, with a touch of fresh citrus and subtle musk, which made it so easy to wear and sophisticated at the same time. Definetly a compliment grabber, my man loved it and all the ladies wanted to know what I was wearing. Wish this gem were still around!

A1: (Stryax + mimosa + cituses) = Heated fresh mimosas A2: (Almond milk + florals) = Suncreeny A1 + A2 = Heated Fresh Mimosa Sunscreen Uplifting. Energetic. Sultry. Heatness. Wait, why do I smell mango?

Mimosa blooms bursting inside the belly of the Sun going on for miles until they rest on almond milk and Nivea sunblock cream. Could haul Summer, happiness and French Riviera pools through misty moors and peaty quagmires in Winter.

Since this masterpiece is discontinued, I spent so much money trying and trying other scents with the hope to find something to replace my Summer by Kenzo, but nothing smells like it. This is the most unique , summer, feminine, warm and fresh at the same time, clean and beautiful smelling fragrance I ever tried. I would describe it as the most expensive mimosa soap you ever smelled, with a hint of citruses in the opening, creamy almond and woody base. It makes people wanna come closer to you and smell you again and again. My best friend used to give me a hug and take a very deep breath every time I wore Summer by Kenzo. Almost everyone asked me what I was wearing. I cant believe that someone came to the conclusion to `discontinue this and released something like Flower by Kenzo, which I absolutely cant stand.

Just tried the Kenzo Summer splash. I am getting a vibe of the yellow pump bottle of Vaseline lotion circa 1980s, which my mother kept stocked. Kenzo Summer smells powdery, floral and clean, with a splash of citrus. Edit: Late summer day, the drydown reveals the “summer” aspect. It smells of a crisp ozonic floral you might get out of a nice sunscreen.

My absolute favorite for about 10 years now, I also found this one on ebay. Yay. The closest perfume I found to this one was shewood golden light from Dsquared, but omg the real thing is so much better. I keep falling into the trap of buying and trying so many other perfumes with mimosa in it. but I really don't smell that in any of them.Love this one, it needs to come back.

Thanks to Ebay I was able to repurchase this gem. As soon as this pandemic is gone I will purchase whatever bottles I can find. Why? Coz this is a masterpiece. This is the creamiest yellow flower green perfume ever. All day it sits around you like a cloud of creamy goodness. It has a powerful body, character, longevity and siage. There's nothing like it in the spring, on your scarf, maybe Poeme by Lancome, which is not as creamy. If it wasn't discontinued I would make it my signature. Why do all good things come to an end? This should have never left the shelves. I guess people are not into green sexy florals anymore. They just want sugar bombs. It's much more complex and beautiful then other niche fragrances I have smelled. It's my greatest wish that Kenzo would bring it back.

I found myself another bottle of Summer by Kenzo, still a beauty and in perfect condition, 1 spray goes a long way and Summer dances around you for many, many hours. One of a kind. I tried other Mimosa- heavy scents- no one compares to Summer.

I know that sense of smell is most tightly linked to memory. Kenzo Summer really brings that home for me. My father, who I have always adored, smelled faintly of dial soap. Every time I wear this, I get soapy notes that remind me of him and of my childhood. It’s a surprisingly visceral connection.

Kenzo Summer is truely a mimosa perfume.I can pickup mimosa from the first minute,but there's also citrus freshness and light and clean florals.It's lovely,gentle and feminine.it reminds me Guerlain Champs Elysees

I don't know how I happened upon Kenzo Summer. Must've been through browsing the list of Kenzo fragrances and wondering why I'd never heard of this one. I read reviews, checked out the notes and found a brand new 2.7 oz bottle on Ebay, for which the seller accepted my lower (not low ball) offer because she said she needed to sell. A lucky day! Summer is undoubtedly the most interesting, while not too much of anything, Kenzo fragrance I've ever smelled. Flower is twisted violets, baby powder and nausea in a bottle. Amour had potential, but I couldn't handle the thickness of that vanilla rice pudding. L'Elephant is everything spicy; a good fragrance I can appreciate from a distance. But Summer!? Finally a Kenzo I am utterly drawn to that I don't have to make special plans to wear! Summer is the most warm, buttery yellow floral I've ever smelled. It starts off seemingly a mimosa overload, but within minutes the almond, violet, amber and woods take position. When I smell this, I think of talcum powder turned into a paste that's mixed into crushed almonds. I can't pick apart the other notes except the ones mentioned. The white flowers and citrus notes makes Summer feel bright and happy - they don't stand strong or alone. I'm impressed that there is no screechiness or harsh edges. It just smooooothes over itself. It smells like a luxurious body cream on the skin and has good-great longevity. Sillage is average. It doesn't wear me, which I like. It melds in with my skin and wafts gently, leaving soft trails of something soft, fluffy, and warm, but yes still manages to be bright and upbeat. I agree with other reviewers here.... It is totally unique while being easy to wear, which is not always an easy feat where fragrance is concerned. I'm so very happy with this in the summer, but I see myself wearing it a lot in the fall too. It isn't an obvious summer scent imo. It's more of a year-rounder, happy but still somewhat mysterious. It's grown up, not the usual juicy, fruity, tart, sweet, tropical summer scent we see today. As a lovely reviewer named Super Dacob said, it seems niche perfumes are the new mainstream and discontinued designers are the new niche. Summer by Kenzo blows Eau De Noho and Mimosa Pour Moi out of the water if that tells you anything.

I hope KENZO will make something very similar soon. This is very unique. I keep about 30ml. in a bottle and just stare at it ... :)) Smells like expensive mimosa perfume and sunkissed skin ! Fresh and warm : citrus , mimosa, musk, woods +almonds. All you need. Very unique blend, not a simple one !

I echo the praise for Kenzo's Summer as I just found the best representation of mimosa in a perfume. This is a warm, natural scent starring mimosa and her well blended cast of citrus, creamy almond and sparkling violets. I pick up a little salt too, feels like a sunny day at the beach. Easy to wear and unique don't often go together, and Summer accomplishes that task by avoiding the cliche warm weather labels: it's neither overtly citrus or aquatic. I bought a new tester of the original formula off eBay and it's in perfect condition. I'm happy to add it to my summer scent collection. Better than average longevity with soft projection. The only thing I don't like is falling in love with a discontinued scent.

Just a very, very nice perfume =))

Suntan cream (mimosa, almond milk) + violets + soap + plastic + hint of indole. Very "yellow" sunny scent. Summer in a bottle. Love it. Why is it discontinued? Similar : Daylight - Gabriela Sabbatini (more watery)

Oh, WOW, this perfume is beautiful. It is full of sunny, breezy mimosa blossoms, that are milky sweet and musky. They're fresh, fuzzy, but also warm and tickle your face. This lasts all day on me, and I get whiffs of it while I move around. I really wish this wasn't discontinued, perfect summer perfume.

So gentle, soft yet unique. WHY would they discontinue this one? every woman who smelled this one on me (some 10 years ago, when I had it) would ask, what this lovely perfume was called and then buy it for themselves. Basically all my friends and female familymembers bought it. Such a beautiful scent, that really smells of all the good things about summer-flowers, sunshine, suncreme, relaxed life, falling in love, dancing in your summerdress, warm, sunkissed skin. SO sad!

lucky me found a vintage bottle in Norway. more then 10 years old, in perfect condition. I'm sooo happy. Kenzos best ever-made parfum in my opinion. Lyckliga jag hittade en vintageflaska i Norge. Mer än 10 år gammal och i perfekt skick. Lycklig!! Kenzos bästa doft - alla kategorier, tycker jag.
