In the dark leaves, the gold oranges glow, A gentle wind blows from the blue sky, The myrtle is quiet and the laurel stands tall? Do you know it well? There! There I would like to go with you, oh my beloved. (J. W. von Goethe)
Never before have I experienced a more authentic citrus scent than this one! Bitter bergamot greets me at the start and is quickly accompanied by fresh lemon juice, which comes not from the greenish ones available here, but from fully ripe lemons. It makes me want to drink it!
In the heart, the scent is green and slightly floral, with the green impression being further enhanced by the violet, so that the lemon blossom only contributes the fragrance, but not the sweetness.
Only much later does Jardin de Sicile become darker and warmer, but also softer, as the base notes blend very well together and none of them is overly strong or unpleasantly noticeable.
Wow, what a scent! And at such an affordable price! Besides, the "Jardin" series by Isabel Derroisné is made almost entirely from natural raw materials, which also makes it stand out from the rest of the Derroisné fragrance range. To maintain the environmental thought in the packaging as well, it is kept minimal but sufficient regarding the clear bottle and comes without cellophane.
I believe Mr. von Goethe would have been absolutely thrilled with this garden water had this scent existed back then!
