Description
“The garden of memories…where strong emotions flourish; the scent of a place, of a moment, of beloved skin.” Each of the fragrance is inspired by a past love story and a timeless French song, thus making a new creation, “receiving a new life, a new interpretation, through these fragrances.”
Ete Indien (“…et tes caresses du matin douceurs de notre ETE INDIEN”) is an oriental citrusy fragrance, warm and spicy; not quite summery nor fresh, just like the Indian summer is not quite summer itself. A woman that ispired it is warm, enveloping, exotic and persistent and so is the fragrance.
Top notes: elemi, bergamot, lemon, clary sage, geranium.
Heart: patchouli, vanilla, tolu balm.
Base: styrax, labdanum.
The fragrances are available as 100 ml Eau de Parfum Ete Indien was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Dominique Gindre.

The only fragrance I’ve tried from Histoire d’Eaux, Ete Indian, or Indian Summer, is true to its name in that it evokes both summer and fall elements, as a citrus-dominant opening of bergamot and lemon makes way for a more herbal dry down of clary sage and patchouli and ultimately a base of vanilla and labdanum, sweet and sharp simultaneously.
A decent performer, which it should be, as an EDP priced at $180 for 100ml at Osswald NYC, now on sale for $144, but not something I would have much use for, ultimately. Still, a fun try and nice experience that I imagine would suit some better. Nice to wear, but not something that I want to be continuously smelling.

wow, truly this is a historial indian summer smell! amazing blend and very amusing.
the Tolu Balsam, elami, and styrax are playing quite harmonic melody and being smacked down by the Geranium triple times in away that makes the vanilla and citrus shines a bit at the background. the dominant here is the tolu balsam, dusty tolu balsam with a hint of sweetness. the clary sage also shows clear. beautiful blend indeed.
(2nd April 2015) OH MY… this one reminds me of my childhood when my country was in war…. basement…. and it was the cologne splattered on a wet, & dried furniture… not much air inside but the overwhelming gathering of family makes it major breezeful and lovely.
