By the editors · 2 min readSurreal Garden opens with a bright lime-freesia lift, citrus sharpness softened by the floral's dewy coolness. It's a breezy entrance that quickly gives way to the heart: gardenia and jasmine blooming together, full-bodied but not heavy, more garden sunlight than greenhouse heat. The white florals have clarity without the waxy density that can weigh down such compositions.
The base brings an unexpected grounding. Vetiver and patchouli anchor the florals with earthy, slightly smoky undertones, while musk adds skin-close warmth. The contrast works—white flowers held in place by verdant wood rather than sweet vanilla or amber. It reads contemporary for its time, aimed at someone who wants a floral that doesn't announce itself from across the room.
This is accessible garden florals with enough depth to wear beyond summer, a straightforward composition that doesn't overreach.
