The Green Jewel of the Louis Vuitton Collection
I’m convinced this is the best perfume in my collection at the moment. Yes, the fact that it is discontinued and so valuable right now does add to its special appeal, but it’s something I would buy over and over again if it was available. In a collection of over 150 perfumes, I find myself gravitating towards this one when I need a pick-me-up. It’s so refreshing and invigorating and my heart is so happy when I catch whiffs of this beautiful green scent throughout the day.

This is simply a form of aroma therapy:
Picture yourself at an extremely expensive spa like the Six Senses Douro Valley in Portugal during the Summer. You are sipping a soothing cup of herbal tea and your legs are dangling in cool refreshing water, while you look out at a backdrop of the most beautiful trees and greenery. Pure moments of peace and tranquility.

That’s how I feel about this perfume.

I will forever be grateful to own a bottle of this and I recommend you to sample it if you get the chance.

A surprising green
This whole California themed Louis Vuitton line is eye catching. I wonder what made them select California as the theme for a complete line. My first impression of Cactus Garden was pleasant. It reminded of this gelatinous type texture mixed in with a plasticky type undertone. I decided to buy the whole bottle. The bright green color is my favorite part of the fragrance. As the scent settles the Mate note is unmovable it doesn't flow as say LV's "Orage". I use it sparingly and spray light amounts otherwise its overwhelming.

Pleasant but Dicontinued
Cactus Garden is so utterly pleasant and has a bright summery attractiveness. I was kind of disappointed that the fragrance doesn’t actually contain a cactus note, which would’ve been an interesting touch. Though, it also doesn’t really need it.

Instead you get a delicious bergamot note, with lemongrass, and the herbal tea-like aroma of mate. The lemongrass in Cactus Garden is absolutely beautiful and it takes the lead, after the first few minutes from the bergamot.

As I get a bit deeper into the wear, the geranium freshness becomes more pronounced. Cactus Garden starts to feel more refreshing and cold than it had with the opening citrus brightness.

I know that Louis Vuitton says that there is an incense note, but it must be very light, because I don’t really get it. Maybe it’s just my nose, however.

Eventually, the bergamot fades. Then, the lemongrass starts to bow out. Eventually, the last note standing is the mate. I mean, I do like the smell of that note, but the dry down is definitely the weakest of the entire composition.

Uplifting, potent, but certainly not groundbreaking - crowd pleaser
I love it! It is sparkly, fresh, very tenacious, with good silage.
I don't think that it is a treasure, especially for the price and the prestige of LV, simply because it reminds me a lot of Cartier's Declaration Cologne, that I cannot find anymore. When I write reminds me I mean that Cactus Garden feels to me like that Cartier's offering on STEROIDS. I liked Declaration Cologne and I do like Cactus Garden. There is a sense of quality but what I find more is a sense of richesse that is synonymous with LV, more than things such as innovation, niche, etc. This is why I am sure CG will do very well in the global market. A crowd pleaser indeed. I will certainly cherish my decant ... one spray at a time!

So Special Fragrance
Cactus Garden is one of the perfumes that have surprised me the most in many years. And many people (also in niche perfumery) agree with me.
I have never smelled anything like it, no fragrance to this day brings me the calm that I feel when I apply this perfume.
It smells of spring, summer, sun... It is one of those fragrances that really make you feel something special in your stomach.
I wish the whole community could smell this fragrance.

It is a modern citrus-green that nevertheless winks at the opulence of the classics of the genre. Wearable always and by anyone.

Deeply refreshing green-floral scent that brings flowering cacti to mind. Shame it’s both so expensive and discontinued.

Opens with lots of citrus and dried down with a green twist to it. Wish it had some spice in it, a bit underwhelming otherwise.

Fresh, clean, a little green, unique, good longevity (>8h) on my skin. Sadly underrated and a bit overpriced. Still great quality.

I enjoy the smell and the longevity is decent for this type of perfume, but maybe not the price itself.

Green, uplifting and invigorating. 9.5/10. Worthy of the hype. Best from all the Louis Vuitton releases and a shame they discontinued it :(
