What does Eau des Jardins smell like?

It opens bright with bergamot, grapefruit, orange and lemon, with curly mint adding a cool edge. The heart turns green and lightly fruity through blackcurrant and bay leaf, softened by rose and patchouli. Vetiver, musk and cedarwood set it on a woody base, while the sweetness stays in the background.

Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Most voters find it feminine.
