Quelques Fleurs Jardin Secret

Spring in a bottle! On me, this is a pretty blend of floral notes (all melded together so that no single flower is distinguishable from all of the others) brightened by the bergamot and mandarin, with a clean musk lingering in the base. While it is a fresh fragrance, its sillage and longevity are incredible; I sprayed it on myself yesterday, and it is still going quite strong. Highly recommended!

Starts off pretty astringent (similar to interior paint drying??) but after a few minutes dries down to a very pretty powdery creamy floral. I surprisingly really like it!

À very polite, unremarkable but well-accomplished floral with no sweetness whatsoever. It has the DNA of L'Atessa, by the same perfumer, with a greener floral element.

This is a very green secret garden - full of herbs and weeds, grasses and moss. I get a very bright citrusy opening, at once astringent but also refreshing, like a tonic. The fragrance dries down to a quiet aromatic natural scent - just like a garden left untended - a bit wild and peppery. It's nice, but not what I was expecting at all. I was expecting a lot more florals to be apparent. It's a fragrance that is very office appropriate but also good for those warm days when only citrusy aromatic fragrances will do.

An indolic citrus/floral bouquet that, on my skin, is a total mess. Smells of baby wipes for the first hour, then scented washing powder in the dry down. The big astringent opening is heady in the way that it could easily induce a headache. There’s a certain synthetic quality to the composition, particularly in the base where I assume the musks are the culprit. A feminine fragrance. Certainly not one to buy before testing. 2.5/10
