Dark Garden

This was my signature perfume for a long time. Dark Garden is the perfect name for it, as it is sweet and floral with an earthy twist. I'm not a fan of strong rose notes, but the rose is well-blended in this. There is a lovely vanilla/musky drydown. It reminds me of something Tom Ford would make: how he takes traditional notes (such as rose or vanilla) and adds something dirty or unusual to it to create complexity. I think this scent leans more feminine, but has an earthy complexity to it that makes it a great unisex fragrance as well. Great price. I would highly recommend. I own several Bourbon French perfumes.

An earthy Australian sandalwood, slightly spicy with a teensy bit sweet rose and grassy vetiver. Lovely. I'm more in love with my Oriental Rose from this house, but this is a really close second. I can't believe I haven't used, much less not even heard about this perfume house. The beauty of this one is that even though it's fairly heavy on the sandalwood, I don't get that dreaded sour javanol smell. Either it's not there or the perfumer doesn't go overboard with it. As a person living with allergies, it's much appreciated.
