What does Jardin Secret smell like?

The opening is fruity and sweet, with apricot, blackcurrant and tangerine. In the heart, rose, jasmine and tuberose bring out the floral side. The base of cedar, amber, oakmoss and patchouli grounds it in a woody, slightly leathery, spicy chypre structure.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and it leans towards night out and evening wear, though daily and business use also get votes. Most voters read it as feminine. Fendi Fan di Fendi (Eau de Parfum) and Ted Lapidus Création (2011) have a close profile.
