By the editors · 2 min readLes Jardins de Bouddha opens with jasmine that feels cooler and greener than usual, stripped of its typical white-flower sweetness. The effect is meditative rather than floral—a petal floating on still water rather than a garland.
As it settles, mint and bamboo emerge with unexpected restraint. The mint never turns sharp or medicinal; instead it blends with a woody, almost aqueous bamboo note to create something that feels like dappled shade in a temple garden. The composition stays close to the skin, quiet and unassuming.
By the dry-down, a soft musk anchors everything without adding warmth or sensuality. The overall impression is one of calm simplicity. This is fragrance for someone who wants to smell clean and composed without announcing it, appropriate for warm weather or contemplative spaces where louder scents would feel intrusive.
