Freshly shaved...?
The name ("garden") and the concept of a botanical fragrance journey sounded promising. What's more, I had never tried a fragrance from Giardino Benessere before. So I was all the more pleased to be able to test the sample. However, for me, Hortus has little to do with a garden.
After spraying it on, I first notice the citrusy notes, interspersed with green, a bit like freshly cut flower stems. I don't know whether it's (just) the lavender or whether the oakmoss is already peeking through a little - but the whole thing then unfortunately drifts quite quickly into an aftershave. Or perhaps in the direction of hand soap? Not totally unpleasant, but has nothing to do with how I imagined the fragrance (note also the design of the bottle...). As for the floral notes, I can only really identify violet and jasmine. However, these disappeared again immediately. The base is slightly woody and consistently builds on the aftershave from the beginning. All in all, I would see the fragrance as more suitable for men from middle age onwards, i.e. not 20-year-olds. I place H/S in the mid-range, although the fragrance quickly became skin-deep on me.
Conclusion: no garden, but at least the gardener is freshly shaved ;-)
