Paris Jardins Romantiques

Lovely! I loved almost all light versions of Paris and I missed then as LE :-( Jardins Romantiques is just as the name says: romantic and happy like a garden in full bloom! The rose is still very noticeable and focus of perfume. The other flowers are very complimentary and the basenotes are typical Paris with lovely soft sandalwood. It's an elegant, linear, coeherent scent just like classic Paris is. The bottle is a timeless classic. I felt very pretty when I wore this one. Not just pretty for prettyness' sake. It made me feel feminine, romantic, delicately sexy. Just one side of my complex personality, the one I like to show more often. Lasting power is good for a light EdT and sillage is also noticeable. It fades gradually on skin.

28. January 2024 Finally im reunited with this treasure! I used to have it, when it was released and back then it was quute inexpensive to purchase. Loved it then. Recently bought a full bottle for very reasonable price and it s.ells like i remember it to be. As many below mentioned this is one of the best if not THE best Paris flanker, especially for those, who find regular Paris too cloying or unbearable. This flanker is fresh and feels like a breath of the fredh air in the garden in the spring. Still very recognizabld as Paris, but with its own character due to its freshness. All other flankers are more rose-violete centered, this one is grass-lilac-rose centered. Simply amazing!

The very best of all the original YSL Paris flankers, in my opinion anyway. I bought this one when it came out in 2007 and still find it delightful 12 years later. It's almost like wild flowers, light and airy in a good way, and on me anyway it lasts at least 6 hours. It doesn't beat original Paris though. And I bought several of the earlier Paris flankers: premiere roses, vergers, printemps. Around 2010 I bought mini-bottles of all the ones I didn't have and have since then lost my scoresheet of what was in each bottle. None of them are as good as Jardins Romantique though. And happily it's still around online.

The best of the Paris flankers and even better than the original. Lovely cheerful spring scent with rose -lilac-Lilly dominance. Grass and orange made it fresher and avoided the soapy vibe the mother scent has during dry down. I miss it very much...

My favourite perfume of all time. A long lasting and lovely fragrance. Beautiful and ''romantic'' indeed :)

even better than Paris; rose, lily, LOTV, lilac, musk; grassy, sweet and pretty

This is a sample that I got in a swap with a forum member, so am not sure what strength I have, but I assume it’s an EdT. It starts out moderately sweet, green and aquatic, with light violet notes. It’s all very faint and airy, barely hovering around close to the skin, like a slight morning breeze that brings in scents from outside, just barely stirring the sheer curtains. As it dries down, I start to smell some rose, but again it’s very light and ethereal, just a hint of potpourri from a drawer that was opened in another room. Over the course of the next 2-3 hours, nothing much happens, except for the scent gradually fading away, but then it seems to get a second wind and hang on as more violet plus a slightly harsh drugstore woody base. If you’re looking for something super light and faintly floral, this definitely fits the description. I can imagine that it would need to be sprayed in order to get a reasonable dose, and probably re-applied after about 3 hours if you want to prolong the nice part. For someone who likes to continually spray themselves with EdT, Jardins Romantiques might be a good bet, although in large amounts and repeated doses it could turn nasty. I’m not going to try.

Very much for spring and summer. Roses aplenty, quite powdery and a touch of musk on the dry down. It needs to be sprayed on several times a day to perpetuate the aroma. It's very inoffensive, so it's perfect for wearing in the office. It has an old fashioned vibe about it, classic YSL.

A fresh grassy floral that is ruined by a cheap, scratchy musk or chemical woods base. Attention St. Laurent, Lauren, etc.: no base at all would be better than chemical warfare. "Cashmere musk" is one of the worst offenders.

Too light. Floral. The rose and the violet note are the most noticeable. Nothing special. The most unnoticeable fragrance I've ever had, actually...

Decidedly more my style than the original, this "romantic garden" version of Paris is much greener, lighter, and better synchronized with current trends. I find muguet (lily of the valley) to be an excellent and under-appreciated note for green scents, and here it really shines. Vestiges of its predecessor can be found in the rose and violet notes, but PJR comes across as a flanker that nods fleetingly at its inspiration, and then walks right on by to chart its own territory. I applaud YSL for abstaining from using "eau verte" or "eau fraiche" here - although it could justifiably have fit those labels. Its poetic moniker fits it even better though, which was a pleasant surprise in itself. To sum up: PJR is a very nice fragrance for lovers of the simple life, and lovers in general. It's also a tremendous scent for fans of contemporary green perfumes.

Although it is very similar to the original Paris, there are two major differences. One - the roses are more feminine, softer and more demure. Two - there are green notes that simply weren't there in Paris. It is a delicious and attractive scent. Not very long-lasting, but still extremely wearable. In all it is beautiful!

Starts with a familiar Paris rose petals, but then gets a second identity as a L`Air du Temps light headed cousin.Works for me great - I dearly love both Paris and L`Air du Temps, but they are demanding a special mood...and this lovely perfume is democratic and wearable about anytime. Lasts a good deal on me, too.

It is lovely, fresh and I can smell the lily of the valley very well and roses ofcourse. For me all Paris summer issues are long lasting, only respray once a day, I spray twice on one spot because it's a light issue and have plenty 4.2oz than stays all day. Do have all summer issues and love all.

I get many compliments when I wear this perfume. Especially when I am hugged my someone Many people who are allergic to fragrance say they like this one. My husband likes it, which is amazing, because he generally doesn't like perfume. Can you get lotion or bath gel in this fragrance?

I bought this one today in Adelaide South Australia - it is very light and fresh, after an hour or so I can't smell it any more but my husband can. It is on special in Adelaide at Priceline Pharmacies for $59.95 for 125ml bottle!

A nice fresh slightly zingy floral with rose that doesn't overpower. If you find the original a bit much this is a nice alternative.

One of a few fragrances I have loved in my lifetime. I am 62... and have a hard time finding fragrances that do not turn on me.

I love this perfume though unfortunately my grandmother wore this everyday until she died. But I still love this fragrance.

Fun , the lily of the valley is most dominant . It's a lovely fragrance but was very hard to get here in the U.K.

Another lovely light floral by YSL. Again, nothing outstanding but it's very fun and light.

I like it. It's delicate and warm, but not long lasting for me.
