By the editors · 2 min readLes Jardins de Paradis opens with a pear that feels almost translucent, lifted by bergamot and the snap of black pepper that keeps the fruit from going too sweet. The citrus fades quickly, leaving that pear hovering just long enough to introduce what follows—a sprawling white floral arrangement anchored by ylang-ylang and jasmine, with iris and violet lending a soft, powdery restraint.
As it settles, the composition grows warmer and surprisingly full-bodied. Tonka and vanilla provide sweetness without veering gourmand, while vetiver and patchouli add earthy weight. Benzoin and ambergris create a skin-like softness, and castoreum gives the base a subtle animalic pulse. The musk, present in both heart and base, threads through the entire structure.
This is a perfume that begins fresh and ends enveloping. It suits someone comfortable with classic femininity but looking for something with more texture and warmth than a simple floral.
