My Little Garden

It's a nice, refreshing scent. First to develop is basil and then lily of the valley. A floral green scent. Crisp and clear. The mix between basil and lily of the valley is well done, there is unity in the whole composition. Personally I like it better than the original but it can only work as a pick me up scent, as the longevity is not more than three hours. Not totally unwearable in winter. In my opinion, lily of the valley, despite being a spring type floral, can totally work in winter as well; there is something about its crispyness that in my mind is associated with the cold air in wintertime. It's a smell with quality, but bad longevity. Too pity.

It's an intriguing perfume - not a lemon-basil combo which I'm a total fan of (these can be found relatively frequently on the market) but a lily-of-the-valley and basil combo with some tropical fruit - really cool and soothing, juicy but not sour. IMO it's a very distant reminder of my long-lost love Manifesto by Isabella Rossellini - but this is far more complex, milder and fruitier, the basil note is not as prominent here as in Manifesto, despite still being the main note. It's another must-have of mine, but I'll wait with it until summer - then it will be really precious, especially on warm, rainy days.

I actually noticed it has some similarities with Waterlily Tea Dress from Zara but dries down to more green apple (DKNY Be delicious sort of). I agree with the opinion it also wears well in winter. Imho it is all year round scent but it's the type of scent that due to fresh green-watery vibe is thought to be great during heats. Honestly I feel like this is so underrated. But maybe it's better. When everyone is so crazy over gourmand scents lovers of freshies green florals don't have to worry about availability ;P

It's a floral green fragrance, that works best in summer. I personally like it a lot. Please keep in mind this is an Eau de Toilette. Of course it lasts only 2-3 hours. It reminds me of Arden Beauty, but I find the Oriflame version sharper.

This would be lovely for a holiday by the sea. What a gorgeous fragrance for spring, summer and fall! Really bright, soft, lovely perfume!
