What does Le Jardin de Monsieur Li smell like?

Citrus and fruity brightness leads: bergamot and kumquat soften against the floral side of jasmine sambac. The stone note adds a cool, mineral quality beneath. The notes aren't split into layers, so it reads as one light, green-tinged garden impression.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions chosen most. Voters lean feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Monotheme Bergamotto and Lubin Mandarino have a close profile.
