From your scent profile
Jardins d'Écrivains Gigi is a fresh, green floral: orange blossom and neroli meet cut grass, then settle into a powdery, creamy warmth, and it suits spring and summer days for those who want a feminine scent.
Skunky's take: A candidate for the summer vacation bag.

What does Gigi smell like?
It opens with orange blossom, neroli and grass, light and green. In the heart, jasmine and tuberose widen the floral side, while blackcurrant adds a fruity touch. White musk and sandalwood soften everything into a powdery, creamy base.
Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is worn mostly for leisure, work and daily use. It reads clearly feminine. Dior Milly-la-Forêt and Van Cleef & Arpels First Jasmin de Chine have a close profile.
