What does Jardin d'Essai 2020 smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, both slightly above the middle of the scale, though only a few people have voted. With no season or occasion data to go on, the one thing that can be said is that it is unisex, open to both men and women.

It opens with raspberry, bergamot, orange and mandarin orange, a bright, fruity citrus. In the heart, caramel, white woods and patchouli set the sweetness on a woody footing. The base of musk, amber and vanilla settles into a creamy, gourmand finish, with a synthetic edge among the accords. Pierre de Velay Chou Chou and Afnan 9am pour Femme have a close profile.
