The Mysterious Garden Jean Poivre 2022

Spring is coming, and I'm in the mood for green scents. I like them anyway, but especially in spring. This little sample that has been waiting for its test for days comes just in time. The liquid is a bright green, and according to the name, it should be about a mysterious garden, that should fit! So I sprayed it right on my skin, waved it around, and smelled: sweet, very sweet even.
Hmm. There are sweet green fragrances, but no matter how much I sniff, I find nothing green. On the contrary, it’s more about the complementary color red.
A melange of warm red tones: orange-red saffron, the red oriental standard rose, and a warm cinnamon red-brown.
Are the virtual perfumer and their marketing colorblind, or is this supposed to be a gag: offer green but deliver red?
The whole thing is enveloped in a sweet, indefinably fruity cloud. So definitely not my direction. More for fans of fruity-sweet oriental scents. However, this red fades surprisingly quickly; after about two hours, only the base remains. It smells somewhat like burnt sugar, but it lasts.
Whoever included this sample for me did so not out of thoughtlessness, but because this scent was on my watchlist. But why was it there?
About two years ago, I participated in a mailer from the brand Jean Poivre. I liked one scent quite a bit, but the rest not so much. The garden wasn’t included, which is why it went on the watchlist. It could have been that...
Garden checked off, company checked off.
Next please.
