Garden of Good & Eva

OK , i wasn't supposed to buy another perfume until i don't finsh one bottle of my wardrobe . I went to the perfume store today , just to smell , but a very good seller talked to me and made me discover this house , very casual , and unexpensive , i was searching something fresh because i have already almost only sweet perfume right now and somedays when it's not so cold i want something lighter . she made me smell this one and Gina , i prefered this one because of the jasmine note which is one of my favorite. I would have never tried the perfume of this house by myself , and i'm not disaponted i did really love it !

This fragrance reminds me of some type of hair product - or at least smells like clean/freshly washed hair. Is it just me? Anyway... this would be the perfect fragrance to cut through those hot humid months during summer. Lasting power is better than I expected too. I can't wait to get my hands on this baby once winter is over!

My all time favourite scent. Very green and clean, very much an 'eau de toilette' rather than a thick heady perfume. Perfect for a young woman in spring. So sad they discontinued this.

When smelling Garden of Good and Eva, I picture a fifties to sixties- world, like in a Doris Day-movie where songs are sung and women wear pretty dresses, maybe with a main character who wears petticoats and ballerinas and who finds her big love in an almost Shakesperian hodgepodge kind of story . The cute packaging underlines this feeling definitely, by the way. The scent is so friendly and clean, summery-light-hearted and positive, fruity by notes of melon and pear and by bright and enchanting freesia and jasmine notes. It has also a gentle hint of green to it. I would recommend it for the warmer months, but if the weather is getting really ugly and you stay inside, it is an appropriate pick to dream away to summer. Especially on fabric, the lasting power is pretty good, on my skin it stays four hours plus. When I first smelt it, it made me smile, because it felt like the sun was coming out. It also has indeed a certain fabric-softener kind of quality, but this helps me the more to dream myself in a fluffy clean world of kitschy songs and swinging flowery dresses...

Very nice clean scent. Mostly Lily of the Valley. Good support from the other notes. Perfect for a sunny spring day. Slightly reminds me of a body spray I used to wear right after I graduated from high school. Right Guard Chill body spray. Probably because it's a little soapy/clean. So I guess it could be kind of masculine? Not sure if lily of the valley and masculine go together but that's what it reminds me of... I call this one a winner either way.
