What does Gardens of India/79 smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding anyone. Most voters pick spring or autumn, though summer has a fair following too. It leans feminine in character, with a modern feel alongside.
The scent reads as one piece rather than a progression: Indian tuberose and Jasminum auriculatum drive the floral side, while Indian sandalwood settles it onto a creamy, woody footing. The fresh accord lightens the flowers, and the sweetness stays in the background.
