Eau des Jardins

my aunty used to work in clarins and she would kindly gift me and my mum some of their products for christmas/birthdays. 5 or so years ago, she gave me a bottle of this. since then, i have repurchased it 3 times. THREE times, and not because i run out of it so quickly, i just love it that much and never want to be without it. i never get sick of smelling it. it is one of the most delectable citrus perfumes i’ve yet to come across, and generally i’m not a huge fan of heavily citrusy perfumes. this one is just something else. it smells so real, SOoooo fresh and ripe. tangy and juicy. almost like you’re hovering your face above a mound of freshly zested lime, lemon and orange. it’s incredible really, how they’ve managed to create such zestiness, without it being at all overwhelming, cleaning product-esque or headache inducing. it’s such a clean scent and utterly uplifting. it is marketed as being aroma-therapeutic, and i fully believe that it is. for me, the mint plays a huge role in the effectiveness of this perfume. it’s always there, just peeking through all the citrus. it’s subtle but noticeable. i don’t really pick up on the bay leaf or cassis, but i’m sure they help to balance out the sharpness. as the previous reviewer pointed out, the matching body lotion is indeed divine. wearing the lotion and spray together packs even more of a punch. you cannot help but feel alive and rejuvenated. i love wearing both on really hot, sunny days. it is PERFECT for summer. anyway i’ll finish by saying that if you are a lover of citrus fragrances, you must buy a bottle of this. it’s affordable and addictive, which are two things that go perfectly hand in hand.

This is really nice! It's zingy, citrusy and herbal. Normally I don't like green notes but that's because I mostly encounter them in the "chypre floral" genre and I don't like overly floral scents. There may be rose listed in the notes, but the scent itself is devoid of any floral hints. It's all citrus and green notes, making it upbeat and energetic yet also zen and relaxing at the same time. This is a happy, comforting scent, and I can absolutely see how it has aromatherapy benefits. Sometimes when I'm feeling anxious I keep this at my desk and smell it periodically throughout the day. It calms me and makes me feel happier. I agree with the previous reviewer who said it's not for people who don't like the smell of essential oils, or those who like perfumey scents. I hate these stupid social media terms but this is a "clean girl" scent - something fresh, clean and invigorating, making you smell like you're just out of the shower. Reminds me of an invigorating shower gel. Better still, the lasting power is excellent. So many fresh scents evaporate within minutes but this lasts all day on me. I love it! Super underrated. It's definitely my favourite out of the whole line, with my other favourite being Eau Extraodinaire. Edit: No one has noted this but I'm pretty sure this scent has been reformulated and I have the new one. The text on my bottle is different. I also smelled a tester of this in a store and it smelled quite different, and the sales associate confirmed that there is a newer version (which I have). I also want to add this while this is labelled as "for women", I find it completely unisex. Most citruses are, in my opinion.

Where do I even start with this one? This one’s one of the OGs; been my constant for over a decade now. I’ve got so much to talk about this one you better brace yourself. This gorgeous smell entered my life nearly twelve years ago. It came to me in a tiny vial that a family friend (who frequently traveled abroad) had generously gifted to me, along with a few others from Clarins. The moment I smelled Eau des Jardins, I knew my life wouldn’t be the same until I owned a full bottle of this. I mentioned it to the then fiancé who was shuttling between Singapore and Vietnam, and then decided to save that tiny vial for the days when I needed instant happiness. Because that’s what this perfume is – it is sunshine in a bottle. Eau de Jardins calls itself a Treatment Fragrance that “Uplifts, Refreshes and Captivates”. For once, here’s a product that does exactly what it claims. It is a citrusy, aromatic, very green scent. It practically begs to be worn on the beach. I think the salt in the ocean breeze actually enhances its beauty. Wear this with a flowy floral dress, settle down on a hammock with a flirty beach read, and grab a tall glass of something sweet and boozy. And if you’re like me, able to only dream of days in the sun, simply spray Eau des Jardins, and let its beguiling scent carry you to a sun-kissed beach where you can feel the breeze in your hair and the salt on your lips.

I bought this as a blind buy because I really love citrus and rose scents and Clarins has a proven reputation with aromatherapy. I am so glad I bought this. I use it all of the time and I find it uplifting, balancing and comforting. It really does make me feel happy and less stressed. It is definitely a feminine scent and I would not consider this unisex like Clarins Eau Dynamisante. Eau de Jardins is a beautiful combination of citrus, rose and woods. The citrus is mainly juicy bergamot and ruby red grapefruit which is gently sweet, warm and natural. It is not sharp or cold as some citrus scent's can be. Roses produce many different variations on scent. The rose in this is more on the juicy floral side, not at all powdery or sharp. There is a hint of woods and musk to balance the fragrance. It is natural and captivating. I find the scent to last well for an aromatherapy scent. It lasts more like an eau de toilette than a cologne. This is very well crafted and of the highest quality. It is well worth the price. I find myself using this twice a day and I really love how it makes me feel. This is aromatherapy at it's very best.

Imagine a lovely garden, filled with beautiful flowers and all kinds of herbs and plants. It is very early in the morning on a beautiful summery day. Everything is still dewy and there is some humidity in the air. The sun has just woken up, and starts spreading her light and warmth. Everything is gently warming up, the dew on the flowers and plants is slowly evaporating. The air carries the soul of all the plants around: their scent. Get the picture? Well, that is Eau des Jardins! It smells like a lovely garden, early in the morning. It is fresh and clean, fruity without too much sweetness. It is refreshing and uplifting, it eases your mind and brings you in a happy mood. The opening is packed with citruses, fresh and energizing. The fragrance evolves to a more floral and even slightly woody scent, without losing the freshness. It is perfect for summerdays, and suitable for every occasion. The scent is gentle and soft, spraying a lot or more frequent makes the scent more present without being overpowering. The lastingpower is excellent on my skin.

I really love this scent! It’s the best of the Clarins range by far - (I find Eau Dynamisante too masculine.) The fragrance is just so lovely. Its light, refreshing, and summery. Defintely a feel-good daytime fragrance, its brilliant value at £30GBP per 100mls. I like it because its fruity and slightly floral, but not overpowering or sickly sweet. I always wear this when I have a long flight, as you can re-apply without offending anyone. Clarins class this as a "treatment fragrance", so its not exactly a eau de toilette, but I wish they did a concentrated / slightly stronger version. Whenever I wear this, I find myself inhaling my wrists, as it stays quite close to the skin. Because its alcohol free, Its lovely to wear on holiday, on the beach or round the pool, and it moisturises too. Perfect!

Just like Eau Dynamisante by Clarins, this is a very natural and clean deodorant fragrance. It's more of a fresh complement than a heavy perfume, something you can carry with you to always smell fresh. When you see the citrus in the ingredients, you might expect a strong lemon scent, but instead, it has a natural, soft sweetness that makes you want to spray it over and over. I usually don't prefer rose notes, but in this perfume, the rose note isn't overwhelming. Instead, it hits the nose as a soft floral breeze, more like a subtle fragrance in the air than a strong rose or rose water scent. It's really nice. The green notes from the base add an extra touch of elegance. Spray your perfume, but be sure to keep this handy in your bag as well.

VERY nice. Reasonable price point. Definitely feminine. I wear usually in warmer weather, but could wear in colder weather. I usually pick this for casual to business casual days. Great for any occasion. Love to wear this after a day at the beach, after I'm showered and ready to go out for dinner with a fresh tan and a flirty summer outfit. There are no downsides to this one for me. It always makes me smile and it was a good choice for my collection. This is the 1 perfume you can pack for your vacation and it would be appropriate for whatever you do, wherever you go. It is very versatile. Your guy will like it and so will your friends. It's gentle, but not soft. It is not overwhelming, but has a strong presence. 4/4 stars.

Love this scent right now. I do overspray it. Having done 5 sprays it lasted me through a storm, and I got complimented. Looking at the notes surprised me, cause I get such a strong Seasalt vibe. Not that it smells salty in the bottle, it's more sweet, but it reminds me of seasalt the same way light blue does. They don't have much in common apart from that vibe, and it might be the mint and bayleaf combo that does it. Either way, nice light scent, that feels fresh, a little different, and cheers me up. I recommend it, but not as a blind buy, considering the price.

I just got this yesterday... it was funny because when I went into the perfumery I was looking for something completely different... and then I found THIS. Fresh, clean, uplifting. Wonderful. I feel happy when I wear it. It's my favourite perfume now. It reminds me a tiny bit of "Pure Morning" by Marc O'Polo, which I loved... guess it's the citrusy top notes. By the way, I got a lot of compliments on this fragrance. I just HAD to have it. This is a wonderful scent I will never get tired of. And it hydrates the skin, leaving it soft and fresh. I TOTALLY LOVE IT!

I was given this a gift and my first thought was "oh no" as I really dislike the other two Clarins perfumes I've smelled - Eau Dynamisante and Eau Ressourcante. Then I sprayed it on and bam! Love at first sniff. It begins with zingy citrus top notes which mellow to a greener soft scent, fresh and delicious. I love it for day wear or casual spring/summer evenings. Pretty and feminine - how could Clarins get it so wrong with their other scents yet so right with this one?

Just discovered a small sample vial in my purse with only a tiny tiny bit left. I carried this with me last year during a holiday in Portugal. One spritz and I'm transported back in time. This is so refreshing without being harsh or cold. Rather soft lemon notes with a quite dominant flowery edge. It's so soft and refreshing, I wish it lingered a bit longer. On to the want list it goes! Love the Clarins aromatherapy fragrances!

I have went through BOTTELS of this perfume over the years. This perfume is my safety perfume ! I always have it near by/ in my bag. Everybody likes it as there isn't much not to like. Its fresh. Its NOT a statement perfume. if you are trigger happy, this could be your lucky day. It wears for an hour on me and then needs a touch up. Citrus, Citrus, Citrus, is all I can say, this is the note most people smell. worth the money!

I absolutely love this fragrance! I find it deliciously fruity and zingy, yet also floral and fresh! To me this is "sunshine in a bottle" - a fragrance to make you happy! Unlike many, I find the performance to be good - this is one of those scents where you perpetually catch the fragrance wafting around you for hours on end. The best of the Clarins treatment scents. Ps....the matching body lotion is absolutely sublime!!

Great to help you wake up in the morning... I bought a box set on special at Christmas and along with the scented moisturiser it's awesome... All I can smell is grapefruit :) Also the lady at the day spa said that you can spray this all over your body before you go out and you won't end up with any sun spots as there is no alcohol in it?? All in all big yes from me...

I have trouble finding scents I like at all, and this one... I love it! I find it quite sensual, it certainly gives me an extra touch of confidence. Eau des Jardins irradiates summer and spring vibes, but I can see this being worn during winter and fall. I mean, it's currently February and I'm wearing it. I very much intend to rock it all year, so... Hahahah.

I love it. It is very relaxing, especially after a hard day of work. I take a shower with the Clarins Eau Jardins shower gel, then apply the lotion and spritz on this aromatic fragrance. It relaxes me completely. It is good for day wear but works wonders in the evening just before bedtime. My only recommendation is that it should come in a 500ml bottle.

just found out that this is readily available in my local clarins outlet, albeit in a newish bottle. so i snatched it in a heartbeat. its a nice comforting fragrance with dominant dusty rose and bayleaf notes. its alright. the best in this line are still dynamisante and ressourcante, with extraordinaire slowly creeping up

I love, love, love this fresh scent! Not too sweet, not too citrusy bitter - just the right mixture. I would have given it a 10 if it had better sillage and longevity. Unfortunately, i have to overspray every time i use it and even then it quickly becomes a skin scent. But other than that, a beautiful summer fragrance.

This is stunning and so light, aromatic and long-lasting that it is great for beach days. We always call this the ''Jamaica perfume'' as it reminds us of the lazy, hazy, natural and carefree warm beachy days over there. It is so unique and natural, I don't like being without it in the height of summer.
