Lovely Garden

Omg, what in the heavens. This is such a surprise, first perfume from this brand to such an affordable price and I'm absolutely enthralled. So many have questioned where the connection between the name and the milky top note lays.. but please, indulge yourself in this scent and you will know immediately, it's out of this world beautiful to me. This is garden pleasures pure in a lost in wonderland, lost in time and between the worlds kind of way. Yes, milky flowers and fresh green meadows. Something I searched for without knowing and let me stay at that place for a little while, so thankful that I found something that will take me there anytime. Who would have thought that this strange mixture can feel so right. The milk note is very creamy and done so well (I tried a few milky perfumes and none of them were as good as this, this is not a synthetic sickly sweet milk note, it's more neutral-creamy like fresh whole milk), same goes for the rhubarb note, very strong, but very seductive and done so well (love Ricci Ricci, but that's rather harsh in comparison). Also notice the dreamy calming presence of Heliotrope. Name, bottle and even the advertisement are a perfect match for this scent. ❤️❤️❤️ Now I'm so excited for the other perfumes from this brand.

This was a blind-buy for me, based on the notes. I love rhubarb and anything milky and creamy. It smells just like I expected, just a little less green than I would have thought. Lovely Garden opens up with a mouthwatering tart and sweet rhubarb, then it gradually turns warmer and the fresh milk note comes out. Besides that there is a noticeable dry sandalwood note which fits in nicely with the milkiness and balances the fragrance, a little musk and a creamy-powdery, dollskin-like heliotrope note. At the end of the day the rhubarb is almost gone and the scent is completely different from the opening. This has a real development and doesn't become thin and sour or too cloying, so it can easily keep up with more expensive designer perfumes. Fun and easy to wear, not boring, especially fitting in the springtime. It smells better on my skin than on the bottle. The whole fragrance could be a little more intense, but really, for the cheap price it's fine to just use a couple of extra sprays.

It breaks my heart that they discontinued Lovely Garden. It's such a special, well rounded scent to me. Something about the way the tangy top notes sing in the early spring sunshine makes my head spin. And the warm, cozy and creamy drydown feels like a hug. Lovely Garden never fails to lift my mood, and it never fails to turn heads. You'd think for an EDT no one would smell it but me, but it's quickly become one of the most complimented fragrances in my collection, far beyond other more popular scents. It's rare to find such a mild scent that's extremely inoffensive that still gets a reaction out of people. Floral, yet not heady; creamy, yet not sweet; zesty but not sour. It doesn't last very long, but pretty good sillage, and again, divine drydown! Guess I'll have to go Ebay hunting, because I wanna wear this one forever!

I did not think I would fall for what I expected to be a straight up garden-type floral fragrance, but I did. Creamy sweet with a touch of tartness during the initial spray. Rhubarb is present in a light and cheery form while the creaminess of the milk balances the potion. Surprisingly it is able to maintain that green and fresh quality. It stays close to the skin after the initial blast but the scent that lingers is soft and sweet. Lovely Garden is successfully able to bring me a vision of a garden filled with luscious smelling flowers with the backdrop of dewy grass. I find the beautiful blend quite appealing.

When I first see it, I thought it would be something green and fresh, if not a little bit floral. But what I get is something different... Not that I hate it -- the scent is lovely, with lots of rhubarb at the opening. Too bad that initial scent doesn't last really long -- I hope the opening would stay a little bit longer, since I really loved the initial, sweet yet 'herbal' scent which is rather 'mysterious' for me.
