Jardins d'Écrivains · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Jardins d'Écrivains Wilde is a fresh, green and woody fougère for men that opens on grape and bergamot, softened by fig and tea, and suits spring and summer days. Most voters place it in spring, summer and fall, with winter far behind. Leisure and office wear get the most votes, and it works for daily use too. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Voters mostly read it as masculine, though some see it as feminine or classic. The top pairs grape with bergamot, giving citrus freshness with a touch of sweet fruit. The heart of carnation, tea and fig turns it floral and green. Oakmoss and vetiver dry it down onto a woody, earthy base. Caron Le 3ᵉ Homme and Ermenegildo Zegna Italian Bergamot have a close profile.

Eau de Toilette

Chatillon Lux Weinstrasse Eau de Toilette is a green, floral men's fragrance that most voters place in fall and spring, for leisure and evening wear. Oakmoss and blackcurrant bud set a green, fruity base, while grape and honeysuckle pull it toward the floral side. Iris and sandalwood add a dry, slightly powdery woodiness, and musk and coumarin soften the whole. Fougère and spicy accords, with an animal edge, give it a classic feel. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring. More call it masculine than feminine, though a fair share read it as feminine. Ted Lapidus Création and Luciano Soprani LS have a close profile.
