Un Matin au Jardin - Lilas Mauve

Purple Lilac

Yves Rocher 2012

Namely lilac. I find it overall more pleasant than the Pur Desir lilac scent, which contains quite a bit of musk. This one is lighter and fresher, but it doesn’t last quite as long. However, it still lasts about 3 hours. Lilac scents often give me headaches, but I tolerate this one well. Two years ago, I had it once before and thought I detected a similarity to Pleasures. While Pleasures is also very lilac-heavy, it is overall greener and a bit sharper. I can’t recognize much similarity anymore. It’s a lovely scent that doesn’t give me headaches.

The entire Jardin line is wonderfully fresh and natural. I enjoy wearing them almost all year round. Here too, the respective scent has been beautifully captured; it really smells like a garden when the lilac is in bloom. At the very first moment, the alcohol briefly stings the nose, but really only for a moment. Then the scent becomes wonderfully lilac-like. Just as if you were burying your nose in a blooming lilac bush. Over time, the scent becomes less green, but creamier and warmer. Nevertheless, the scent remains wonderfully fresh throughout, making it pleasant to wear even in very high temperatures. When YR launched the Jardin fragrance line in 2012, I was still wearing more intense or heavier scents than today. Back then, I could only perceive the scents for a maximum of 2 hours and also complained about the short longevity and lightness. In the meantime, I now mostly use lighter scents; the fragrances from that time have generally become too intense for me. Since then, I can also perceive the Jardin line well for 3-4 hours.

A beautiful, delicate spring messenger not only for lilac fans!
