Ebichuunee

This one leans old-school floral, built around a sweet, syrupy rose that dominates from start to finish.
I was somehow hoping the coriander would cut through the density, but it stays subtle, which is a euphemism, it's completely dorwned in the sirup, in my opinion clearly not enough to balance the richness.

For me, the vibe is vintage, almost powdery in a way, like a floral from decades ago. Not bad, just heavier than I expected. Performance is solid, projecting loudly and lasting. If you love dense, honeyed rose without too much edge, this could work for you. Personally, I wanted more of that coriander bite to shake things up.

This one stays close to the skin, never too loud. It opens with sage but slowly turns smoky, like herbs steaming over hot coals. The smokiness is soft, not harsh or overpowering, which makes it easy to wear. I like it, but it didn’t knock me out. It’s interesting, just not a love. Performance is average, don’t expect a huge projection. Thanks i don't smell the dreadful ambroxan, but some might get disapointed.

I suppose that it's a good fragrance for days when you want something low-key but different. I suppose somehow i see it well on nice shirt, since it's more like a personal scent for when you're in an introspective mood. Worth trying if you like quiet, herbal smoky fragrances that don’t scream.

The first time I went through Racyne’s discovery set, I almost overlooked this one. Garden Song comes across as a soft, delicate floral, pleasant and inoffensive. But that’s also the issue: it’s too discreet. It lacks presence and projection to the point where it feels almost ghostly on skin. Could be a cologne from Yves-Rocher or Roger Gallet !

I’m not an oversprayer by nature, but with this one, it feels like you'd have to douse yourself in it just to catch a whiff.

That said, it’s not a bad fragrance. It paints a very clear picture, a pretty young woman in a white dress, standing in a sun-drenched floral field, maybe on the cover of a postcard. Dreamy, gentle, and fleeting. If that’s what you’re after, this might hit the mark. For me, it’s a pass.

I walked into the store planning to buy this one, but left with Holy Stick instead. Still, this is summer bottled, vibrant, aromatic, with a mint note that stays fresh without tipping into syrup. The citrus-mandarine backbone is bright and joyful, though longevity is weak (as expected from a citrus build). It puts me in an effortlessly good mood.

(And the layering with ex-Libris is awesome !)

Purchase postponed… not cancelled !

I hadn’t read Ginsberg before trying Howl, and after liking the perfume so much, I gave his work a shot, and was honestly surprised, a bit like with this perfume !

The fragrance itself, though, is an instant favorite: a warm, aromatic hug perfect for colder months. It opens with a bold hit of lavender, thyme, and cinnamon, then shifts into something earthier as tonka and amber take over.

I’ll likely pick up a full bottle by next autumn. (Note : my mom also loved it so much that I gave her my sample bottle)
