Quelques Fleurs Jardin Secret Houbigant 2018 Eau de Parfum Extrême

AugustA had already written a comment on the edp version, which for me also applies to the Extreme version in general. The edp Extreme is for me a bit calmer, rounder, and deeper, but less bright and effervescent compared to the edp.

In QFJS, I initially do not primarily find the floral scent that the name of the original suggests, but rather an enchanted garden with various types of flowers, a murmuring brook, a sunbeam falling through the greenery. Along with that, the smell of a meadow, which perhaps adds a bit of bitterness. The overall picture is peaceful, refreshing, airy. One walks through this garden surrounded by lemon powder and lingers hour after hour among well-tended and lush flower beds.

The scent in this intensified version, which feels softer and more powdery, also tells me a bit more about past times that never quite fade away, until it dissipates after a few hours in the summer wind.
