Fresh · Citrus · Floral
Jardins d'Écrivains La Dame aux Camélias is a fresh, floral and lightly powdery women's fragrance built around camellia, violet and rose; it has been discontinued.
It opens with vervain, cardamom and orange blossom, which give a citrusy, green and slightly spicy freshness. The heart turns floral and powdery with camellia, violet and rose. In the base, tonka bean adds sweetness, musk softens it, and Canary Islands juniper brings a woody depth.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and it suits leisure and daytime wear best. Half of the voters read it as feminine. Labeau L'Eau d'Iris and Acqua di Parma Gelsomino Nobile have a close profile.
