Jardin de Paris

Is it Worth It?

It’s a good everyday fragrance that won’t break the bank.

Olfactory Experience

Jardin de Paris nails the *idea* of J'adore. The opening is a bright pear and melon blast, maybe a touch sharper and fruitier than Dior's smoother, more floral start. You definitely get that similar magnolia vibe. The heart is where things diverge slightly. The jasmine and lily-of-the-valley are present, but a slightly bubblegum tuberose makes it less sophisticated. The base is a soft musk with a hint of vanilla. That blackberry note? Barely detectable. Overall, it's about 92% similar to J'adore, but with a slightly more synthetic, youthful edge.

Wear time & Sillage

Longevity is surprisingly decent. I get around 5-6 hours on my skin. Projection is moderate for the first hour or so, then settles into a closer skin scent. Perfect for the office. Don't expect it to fill a room, but people close to you will definitely notice it.
