What does From the Garden smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: it neither dominates the room nor vanishes quickly. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear are the occasions it leans towards. It doesn't read as purely feminine or masculine, and has a modern feel.

Green mandarin orange, grapefruit and blackcurrant open fresh and fruity. The heart brings tomato leaf greenery, Bourbon geranium and rose. Indonesian patchouli, white musk and crystallised moss give the base an earthy footing. Prada Infusion de Rhubarbe and Jo Malone English Oak & Redcurrant have a close profile.
