What does Un Jardin sous la Mer smell like?
Its notes are tamanu, tiaré and mineral notes. A citrusy, aquatic freshness comes first; the floral side of the tiaré softens it, leaving a light sweetness and a woody trace behind. A synthetic accord adds a cool, mineral edge.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with office use not far behind. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it reads as balanced between the two. Hei Poa Tiaré and KIKO Turquoise - Tiare & Neroli have a close profile.
