What does Confessions of a Garden Gnome smell like?
It opens with pink pepper, yuzu, coriander and Sicilian bergamot, which give it a spicy, bright start. The heart of lily of the valley, rose, violet leaf and mango stays floral, green and lightly fruity. The base of ambergris, Virginia cedar, birch, white musk and amber leaves a soft, woody ground.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. On character, feminine gets the most votes, with masculine a clear second. Jeanne en Provence Un Matin dans la Roseraie and Nilafar du Nil Lake Mariout have a close profile.
