Brise Verte Jardin Bohème 2022

A few weeks ago, I received this fragrance as a gift from my two best friends. We've been very close with them for a few months now, even though we've known each other for years... Yes, friendships can take twists and turns. And although it's not necessarily the case with this fragrance and I only like it so-so, it will always be remembered as a sign of our friendship. Yes, I don't particularly like it, but it still reminds me of security, a feeling of coziness and warmth. Funnily enough, it doesn't even smell warm, rather cool, but because of my association, I often perceive the scent more positively. I'm not going to write about Opoponax or other exclusive or less exclusive fragrance notes, but simply describe my own scent association when I spray it on. Green sweet is really accurate, because what I smell is a lemongrass note mixed with vanilla. It really smells almost exactly like when I mix the essential oils of lemongrass and vanilla, add them to my diffuser, mix the oil blend with water and let the vapors of this relaxing scent take full effect on me. This spicy vanilla sometimes reminds me of speculoos, although there is not even any cinnamon or anything else in that direction. For me, it is not necessarily a fragrance to wear in public. Rather, I use the fragrance to create a relaxing atmosphere at home with essential oils. The fragrance would definitely be more successful as a room spray than as a perfume.
The durability and sillage are rather poor for the brand, but that doesn't matter, because the fragrance isn't supposed to waft and scream. The bottle is also kept simple, which is typical of the brand. Accordingly, the price-performance ratio is of course also okay. Not all, but some of the brand's fragrances even smell quite natural or not overly synthetic, even though they are so cheap, instead of having to turn into the highly synthetic BR 540 curve...
To be honest, I wouldn't buy the fragrance again, but I will always associate fond memories with these and especially think of them when I turn on my diffuser.
