Jardin du Poete
Eau de Toilette
by Eau d’Italie



The Scoop
Eau d’Italie teams up again with Bertrand Duchaufour for this lyrical interpretation of an al fresco dinner in a Sicilian garden. Orange in every tone – tart, bitter, sweet – is livened up with grapefruit, whose raspy, slightly sulfurous facets are underlined with cassis and the minty buchu leaf; basil conjures the aromatic herbal garden. These green facets, as well as the rosy undertones of the grapefruit segue into the green, watery, rose-like cyclamen, a natural companion to lily of the valley and rose providing a rich, moist, floral counterpoint to the sparkle of citrus… Immortelle, moss and hay conjure the heat exhaled by vegetation as the sun sets after a warm summer day.

Like its source of inspiration, the “Poet’s Garden” manages to find a perfect balance between citrus, herbal, floral and wood notes; between the vitality of nature in the Mediterranean, and the harmonious, millennial Mediterranean culture.

What an interesting fragrance! When I first applied this, I was immediately hit by a sharp, green smell. It was almost like biting into bitter lettuce or a leaf from an orange tree. If I had to pin down the opening, I'd say that the bitter notes like bitter orange, green orange, and petitgrain are all right there. The bitterness gave it a slightly dirty feel, like actual dirt in a garden. Whew! I read another review of this scent where someone said it had a "cat spray" note. I sort of agree, but only in that it burns the nose a bit upon initial application in the way a cat's spray would; however, it does not actually SMELL like cat spray. The middle notes were very clean and floral, almost oceanic on me. I didn't get any distinguishable flowers, though, just "floral." The drydown is the most unusual and academic part, like a niche fragrance. When I smell it, the only thing that pops into my head is pencil shavings or a freshly sharpened pencil. Truth be told, it's actually quite pleasant, like a childhood memory. It's a very white, woody smell when you reach the base of the fragrance. While I enjoyed the experience of trying such a different fragrance, it's not one that I'd repurchase.

When I got my sample, I really was excited to smell something so green. Citrus and herbal and just so fresh smelling. I proudly put it on and went over to my dad to smell me and tell me what he thought...."Ugh!" he winces, "It smells like cat p*ss!" Oh my goodness, there is a cat p*ssyness to it, that one doesn't think about until you get the opinion of another. So, I love the smell, but just beware you might be mistaken for a cat lady!

Finally, a floral garden scent true to its description and worthy of the name! Too often light, green scents translate into mixed herbal salad, or what we hope will smell like breezes over spring blooms are overwhelmed by such sharp green lily - or other harsh floral - notes that any 'live garden' aspects are promptly lost in 'perfume-y'. And I'm very happy the common list toward the kitchen garden is also avoided by the absence of stage-hogging vanillic notes that for some reason, perfumers insist on bundling into the bases of what SHOULD be clean floral fragrances like this one. What remains is a happy day scent that combines green plantings, sweet new blossoms, complemented by tart citrus pith. Depending on your skin type, Jardin du Poete may need to be refreshed every couple hours - but to me, that's a fair trade for losing heavy base and perfume fixative dominance.
