Jardins De Bagatelle Perfume
by Guerlain


Guerlain launched Jardins De Bagatelle in 1983 as a strong floral fragrance for women. One spray of this... close your eyes, you'll believe you are in an elegant, English garden in the height of summer, surrounded by beautiful roses, jasmine and neroli, we can almost hear the plink of the ice in the Pimms and lemonade!

SO BEAUTIFUL NOSESOUP 08/21/07 12:55 PM 5 out of 5 stars
JARDINS DE BAGATELLE PERFUME REVIEW BY NOSESOUP
OK: I pushed past my skepticism, and just got the mini EDP of this and want MORE! Now I get it. This is a scent, to my particular "nose", that is emotionally intoxicating. Give it a chance, as it is strong at first (not as lastingly strong as YSL Paris--but I find myself comparing the intensity and sillage, though with less overt rose, and more white floral essence), but I find that Guerlain's quality shines through. Right now I can't get enough of it, and am interested in the EDT as well to see if there's any subtle difference. While the initial strength and "sweetness" (that is not a bad thing to me--Jardins is not a headachey scent for ME, as is the beautiful spicy Samsara) make a statement, with it's lady-like sillage, it is not too much to wear comfortably without offending others. It is not a late 80's bash in your face floral. It is a lovely Guerlain, though without the vanillic/powdery drydown that one expects, but I'm giving it more time to see what comes of it. Guerlain's complexity is there, but I'm not getting the Guerlinade drydown yet. If you're reading this you are at least interested, so I'd personally consider it (at least a mini) and have patience, whatever your age. It is NOT an "old-lady" scent (HATE that term, but so many people relate to what it implies), and I don't believe it's dated, or dates the wearer. (However, I find that patience with most fine fragrances is a virtue.) The rose and jasmine come through to me equally, which is a good thing. Since I'm such a perfume junkie, I don't have a signature scent (L'Heure Bleue is desert-island worthy, though), but this is one I believe I will wear often. On an emotional level, it feels like a happy, florally-sexy scent, not limited to evening use.

CATHERINE DENEUVE LIANI 04/27/07 12:34 PM NOT RATED
JARDINS DE BAGATELLE PERFUME REVIEW BY LIANI
Sorry, I can't stop plugging Jardins. As Nicole said, it is favored by Catherine Deneuve. I've heard that too. That is really the sort of mental image you get when you smell it---a hint of something subtle, French, timeless and classically elegant. An air of pure sophistication. It does NOT remind me of an English garden at all. In fact, it's named for the Gardens of Chateau Bagatelle, a private hunting lodge where the court of Louis XVI sported. Um, well most of the "hunting" and "sports" were the indoor variety. It was built on a bet between Marie Antoinette and Louis' brother. JdB reminds me of quality, luxury, "royalty" if you will. And, as with most Guerlains, there is something mysterious and utterly bewitching here that happens bewteen the first spritz and the drydown that can't really be put into words. You just have to experience it.

LIKE A STRAND OF PERFECT PEARLS... LIANI 04/27/07 11:57 AM 5 out of 5 stars
JARDINS DE BAGATELLE PERFUME REVIEW BY LIANI
Perfect go with everything fragrance. Over the years I find that after trying loads of VERY expensive, unusual scents, this is my standby--the one I reach for on a daily basis, when I’m too busy to decide, as well the solution for those truly formal occasions where I want to be noticed for myself, not associated with and remembered by an ever-present cloud of scent that intrudes, offends and announces my presence well in advance. Yes, it’s strong (as in long lived), but it never screams “look at me!” so that people 10 feet away ask who’s wearing that perfume. The only comment I get is “Um, you smell so nice” by those who’ve moved in closer to talk. If you like Fracas, Joy, Versace Blonde, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, or Chanel Gardenia, this is a white floral cousin---except many people wear it! Hurray! As far as its sweetness, the honeysucklish neroli top note is quite sweet, but a jasmine-like powderyness in the mid note balances that out. I keep a teeny (5ml) mini of the perfume in my purse for Fashion 911. This one’s a classic. I really love Guerlain frags; if stored well, they just seem to improve with age.

Classy, distinctive, feminine - its everything a fragrance should be. I'd wear it myself if my beautiful daughter hadn't found it 1st and made it her signature scent
