Jardins De Bagatelle

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on jasmine, aldehydes and violet, moves through tuberose, narcissus and gardenia, and settles on tuberose, vetiver and neroli.

• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much
• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
