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.

I mourn this perfume. It's such a perfect scent in every way; it's fresh without being screechy, fruity without being syrupy, creamy without being cloying, and woodsy without being heavy. This was THE perfume that got me into the fragrance world, and I still own a bottle that I use sparingly. I haven't found anything quite like it which is an absolute shame. Rest in peace Lovely Garden, I will always remember you.

The boutle is so nice and the first sniff was so good soI bough a full bottle of this perfume. It`s very very nice however after 30 minutes all the perfume is gone and only sugary smell is left on your skin. Very very ellusive.

I had this perfume long ago and really loved it. Milky notes are prominent. So refreshing and yet still calming. But its longevity is weak and I barely notice the fragrance from me. Anyhow I love the smell of it.

I tested this yesterday and was so pleasantly surprised. I didn`t expect much - I though it will be sharp and fresh but it`s the very opposite - very soft, very creamy and dreamy. I`m gonna purchase it for sure.

fresh, floral, girly scent. this was my daily scent in middle school

this parfume smells great but it is very weak.

First off, this bottle is beautiful! It may look plain in the image above, but the glass is thick and the entire presentation is simple, crisp and clean. It has a nice heft, and even incandescent light rainbows as it passes through the edges of the bottle. The jus is a crisp and lovely pale green, and this is much much prettier than I was expecting, based on the images I had seen. The jus inside is nice. It's light, it's sweet, it's creamy. This reminds me of Chopard Wish, without any spice- just the sweetness and the milk note. That said, this was a blind buy, based on the notes. I was expecting tartness from the rhubarb and pomegranite, and acidity. I was expecting big green aldehydes. Then I was expecting powderpuff vanilla from the heliotrope and orchid, with sandal wood to ground it. Instead Lovely Garden opens with a nice breath of rhubarb that is gone almost immediately...leaving sweet peony. This is a nice, light, pretty peony with a nice milky note to it...but that's about it. On my skin this is completely linear for the hour it is present. Then it's gone. I was really hoping for something that would have the subtle impressiveness of the bottle, and that would live up to the big notes the bottle is supposed to contain. I was hoping for crisp edgy acidity and sharp greenness that would gradually mellow. Instead, this is like admiring the sun glinting off of a wind ruffled lake. It's lovely for a brief moment- then gone. It is however, cheap enough to reapply. I don't find it very impressive, so I will probably use it as a layering scent. If you want something pretty, inoffensive, and faint, this is it. If you enjoy respritzing to freshen your scent, this may be a good choice. But if you're looking for something unique, with an edge, save your money.

I bought a bottle last month, soon after I had the chance to sniff it on Oriflame's catalog. However, it took about a month for me until I finally decided to bring it on a trial-wear today. I normally wear L'occitane Green Tea for work and most of the other day-things. As for Lovely Garden, I knew it smells okay on the catalog paper - but the coworkers' response was better than I thought I'd get. They liked it! And according to them, it's a great great variation after almost-linear Green Tea scent that has been my signature. I admit that Lovely Garden is sweet, simple, and cute scent with "green" hints that brings out the ultimate freshness. The milky scent sweetens the overall performance, but obviously not sickening. In fact, it makes it smell even better :) Sillage is okay. Not big but generally noticeable if somebody stands or sits in two-meter radius, and also when you walk pass them. As for longevity, remains noticeable until 3pm - which means that it's been 7 hours since i put it on (and it's still going on) It's not an easy-to-like scent though.. Sniff and check before buying one.

Indeed. It is a lovely scent. The scent would start off as being soapy in the beginning but after a few seconds, it settles down and becomes softer, green floral and a bit fresh citrus. Though there doesn't seems to be any citrus ingredients. I am not familiar with most of the ingredients given on this fragrance. I am not sure why but to my nose, it smells a bit like fresh citrus. It isn't very heavy to wear. I suppose it's good to wear for casual events and for offices. Best time to wear: Day Best Season: I suppose spring is the best time but I think it will be good during early autumn too. Longevity: 3 hours on average (it does stays on for longer for 6 hours maximum but after 3 hours or so, its sillage becomes weak.) Sillage: Is moderate for the first three hours or so. Overall, not a bad perfume if you ask me.

Adorable, delicate and feminine - the name and the colour are perfectly matched with the name and the idea of a lovely garden! It works really great in the summer for endless days in the garden, when it's warm and everything's blooing all around me! And the price is great as for this type of an elegant fragrance. The milk notes are present indeed, but they are really delicate - like a milky peony scent, not the smell from a milk jar straight from a cow. The most noticable are the floral notes - especially the peony, but the heliotrope adds some warmth to it, so does the sandalwood. Rhubarb? Maybe, but very delicately. All in all, it's a very balanced and simply superb perfume.

Very unique scent. Takes some 'getting used to'. Lots of slightly tangy rhubarb and green notes! But as soon as it dries down on my skin it gets creamy with the '(sugary) warm' milky notes and a pinch of almondy-heliotrope. Unfortunately it gets very close to the skin as soon as it settles. Longevity is also poor, around 2 hours on me. It's a shame because I am sure I would have grown to really like this one if only it would actually last. But hopefully it will behave better in warm weather. Sometimes a bit of sunshine is needed to make fragrances project better :) ♥♥♥♥

I receive a lot of discarded bottles of Oriflame perfume from a relative who works in their factory. Most of them are not my thing but I was pleasantly surprised by this one! From the name, the bottle and the color I was expecting a bland, boring floral but instead I get rhubarb and milk with a lovely green backdrop. Eating rhubarb with sugar and milk, usually outside in the garden, is such a summer thing for me! And a lovely theme for a perfume! The rhubarb note doesn't last very long, but the drydown is still lovely green, sweet and milky.

On me, it smells like mojito - the sweeter version, while on my friend it's woody mixed with blueberry or something like that. I agree it doesn't last much, after about 2 hours I have to concentrate to feel the scent on my skin, but the aroma is wonderful. Actually, all perfumes smell a lot sweeter and powdery on my skin - I suppose it's because of my high blood sugar level - and I have to try really hard to find a perfume that is both citrusy and sweet so that I could suit me. This one is great !

The milk note is good and elegant but maybe it's too sweet. I can only smell sweet sweet and sweer And when it dries down a very good good scent. I'm also felling good after 1 to 2 hour after spray. The bottle looks like a little beautiful dress and the color of this fragrance is very cute. I think it's suit for teen girls and suit for winter night. Reminds me of when i was 20.

I have had this perfume for a while now. It's a quite nice daytime fragrance, green and fresh. There's really nothing offensive about it, when you can smell it. And there lies the problem; this fragrance is so weak that after a short while it dries down to nothing. The only way to make it last a bit longer, for yourself at least, is to wear a scarf and spray it on the scarf.
