Unfortunately, a masterpiece with significant weaknesses
Update:
Dear fragrance friends. I have today unfortunately received the message that Cactus Garden and Sun Song were taken from LV from the range and are now available neither in the online store nor in the store of LV. I can not understand this step with the best will in the world, Cactus Garden was for me but the best and most extraordinary fragrance from the house of LV.
Now begins for me the search for an alternative. About recommendations I would be happy.
Many greetings
Your Valcore
I recently had the pleasure of entering a Louis Vuitton store for the first time in my life. With great enthusiasm, I stürtze me on the perfumes on display and let me spray the individual fragrances on a test strip by an employee. I had heard about Cactus Garden in advance and was already very excited about the fragrance. And my expectations were not disappointed.
Cactus Garden surprised me with a previously unknown to me fragrance. A mixture of tea, mate and green notes, paired with cactus and a splash of lemon and bergamot. Unfortunately, I lacked the necessary change. 225€ are already steep for 100ml.
At least I left the store with some fragrance samples in my luggage, including a sample of Cactus Garden. And yes, what can I say. The more I used the fragrance, the more great I found him. Especially on hot, sunny days Cactus Garden comes to the true development and exudes an außgergewöhnlich great aroma.
The big kink came for me, however, after a short time. Because if the perfume from the house of Louis Vuitton lacks one thing, then it is durability. Even sprayed on clothes, the Cactus Garden keeps a maximum of 2-3 hours. After that, one perceives at most still a breath and also only if one goes with the nose very close.
The sillage is similarly modest. Well I must admit, durability is usually a problem with fresh summer fragrances. But I find at 225€ you just expect more for your money. Really a pity. Louis Vuitton has created here a decidedly great unique fragrance. Would this be priced in the range 60€ - 100€, then I would still buy it, even if the shelf life is miserable. But at just under 2 hours shelf life, the price of 225€ for 100ml is simply an extremely poor price-performance ratio.
Stupidly, there are also never discounts at Louis Vuitton. Therefore, my recommendation: buy this fragrance only if you really do not have to watch the money. Otherwise, you can get hold of one or the other sample of Cactus Garden somewhere
Because great is this fragrance all the time and the flacon I find also decidedly pretty designed.
