Jardin du Nil

I’m testing the new formulation, and I find it to be most posh. The mint livens up the rose-geranium accord, lending it a frosty undertone similar to Centaur. The airy floral texture floats over the skin like a silk shirt. The scent is well-suited to summer but not averse to fall, which would bring out the more somber facets of rose. I wore this today while working in my herb garden, and for a few moments I could not tell the difference between nature and art. I can pick up a lighter version the “pickled-olive” rose note characteristic of Epic Woman. It is worth buying a bottle to add to my already extensive Maître collection. With this house, the reformulations are as good as the originals. They offer a surprise in the form of a new statement or rendition that is excellent in its own right. This is why I collect the old and the new.

This reformulation is nothing like the epic, older version that was much stronger and sharper. The new formulation is much more tame, which is a shame. It's still beautiful, but nowhere near as daring or important as a new direction. C'est domage.

there's not one dirty sock in there, smells very nice

143) the scent of sex...yep Floral grungy and sweating. It starts badly? no,not at all, this is disturbing and then completely addictive. In fact there is a large dose of lemon in opening that propels into the nostrils the most bodily aspects of geranium, vetiver, patchouli and finally gives this comparison with a male armpit after sport. In heart I smell especially the rose/patchouli alliance but the lemon relieved by mint is particularly tenacious before leaving his place to a background of more consensual amber. This perfume have to be wear absolutely on the skin and keep it for those times when you want a naughty time with your partner ... well ok all the time in fact! Unisex, good performance(oh yeah) and good projection as always with this great brand. Floral crasseux et suant. Ca commence mal? non pas du tout c'est perturbant et puis complètement addictif. En fait il y a une large dose de citron en ouverture qui propulse dans les narines les aspects les plus corporels du géranium, du vétiver, du patchouli et donne au final cette comparaison avec un aisselle masculine après le sport. En coeur je sent surtout l'alliance rose/patchouli mais le citron relevé par la menthe reste particulièrement tenace avant de laisser sa place à un fond d'ambre plus consensuel. Ce parfum est à porter absolument sur la peau et à garder pour les moments où vous voulez passer un moment coquin avec votre partenaire...bon ok tout le temps quoi! Unisexe, bonne tenue et bonne projection comme toujours avec cette excellent marque.

Usually, when we think about a rose scent, we think about something comfortable to wear, nice, clean and gently sensual. Well, if this is what you expect, stay carefully away from Jardin Du Nil. This composition has a dirty allure throughout, it's like spraying a perfume on the shirt you was wearing the day before, and maybe even two days before. A remarkable lived-in vibe on a massive rose / floral note laying on an ambery base. A daring fragrance, unique and absolutely compelling. If you like rose and are sick and tired of "pretty fragrances" you've to try this. Rating: 8/10
