Lovely! or too-long-for-a-statement commentary
I blindly bought Coeur de Jardin in the hope of a fresh and flowery everyday flatterer.
I haven't even done any research, which I usually do thoroughly. Luckily, because if I had known about the supposed pear-peach dominance, I might have left it there.
I'm not so good with pears. When I smell them out, I often think of sweet and flabby pear compote and with peaches it is not much better, they often smell plastic to me or like cream yoghurt aroma
The "garden series" by Miller Harris has the motto "jardins d'enfance", which means "gardens of childhood". This makes one suspect idyllic things and in fact I feel transported to a different place or especially to another season.
"Coeur de jardin" for me is: Spring! As innocent as the childhood memory association leads one to believe, the fragrance doesn't smell to me despite all the idyll.
The top note reminds me of freshly sparkling champagne, perhaps embellished with something fruity to accompany a cocktail a la Hugo. Maybe there's a party in the garden!? Fresh acidity is present, but I do not find the fragrance "sour" or really citric at any time.
At this time I smell flowers abundantly, without any of them coming out strongly. I can sniff rose and jasmine if I make an effort...and the base with its patchouli and moss notes is also found in echoes. There is also a dewy damp smell throughout, the freshness in the fragrance I actually find "dewy fresh". Or it might have rained recently, which would be no wonder in an English garden.
the whole thing is invigorating and clean, but also has a certain human warmth in the base - it is not an abandoned garden and in its cosy corners it invites couples in love to get to know each other better ;-).
Now to my ominous title: Maybe one or the other of you has thought of Sarah Jessica Parker's "Lovely" and is not sooo wrong. However, it is by no means a twin to it. Lovely I had once and could not "smell him nice" even with several attempts. However, I had imagined Lovely before actually exactly the way "Coeur de Jardin" actually smells:
An invigorating alcoholic drink without smelling boozy, a fresh flowery-clean component and a thoroughly sensual base. You can wear it not only to work and everyday life, but also to the evening garden party. By the way, there were already compliments, so weak on the chest, as I thought at first, he does not seem to be.
So if you already have a bit of a longing for spring, you're guaranteed not to do anything wrong with it :-).
