Eau des Jardins Clarins for women

there is a disappointing dose of sugar in this one. I was sure I'd love it! But it is as sweet as some godawful Givenchy Play(((

still, I will finish the sample, at least there's nothing unpleasant about it.

Wearable but non-distinctive.

I didn't like this much. I'm not into citrus and this scent is like so many others out there.

I'm surprised to see how many notes are in this scent as it smells so beautifully simple. I love that it is both fruity and fresh and simple.I think any woman of any age could wear this fragrance almost anywhere (although I wouldn't wear it out in the evening) because it is so versatile due to its simplicity.

Imagine a lovely garden, filled with beautiful flowers and all kinds of herbs and plants. It is very early in the morning on a beautiful summery day. Everything is still dewy and there is some humidity in the air. The sun has just woken up, and starts spreading her light and warmth. Everything is gently warming up, the dew on the flowers and plants is slowly evaporating. The air carries the soul of all the plants around: their scent.

Get the picture? Well, that is Eau des Jardins! It smells like a lovely garden, early in the morning. It is fresh and clean, fruity without too much sweetness. It is refreshing and uplifting, it eases your mind and brings you in a happy mood.
The opening is packed with citruses, fresh and energizing. The fragrance evolves to a more floral and even slightly woody scent, without losing the freshness. It is perfect for summerdays, and suitable for every occasion. The scent is gentle and soft, spraying a lot or more frequent makes the scent more present without being overpowering. The lastingpower is excellent on my skin.

This is a gorgeous scent! It is very fresh and very floral. It makes me feel energized and feminine. However, it does not have a big silage, nor does it last very long on my skin (1-2 hours). It is nice though and a decent enough price that you can afford to reapply (if you chose too). Smells A LOT like Acqua di Gioia - just more linear.

G.A. copied IT!!!

Acqua di Gioa as Eau des jardins!!!

What a fresh scent!!!

10!

Light citric floral. The floral scent is pretty nice and the citric is very aggressive. However, the floral is, IMO covered and dominated by the citric.

very fresh and fruity. lots of citrus in the topnotes wich I like. then it becomes flowery and a bit woody to.
Great for a hot summersday to freshen you up or when you dont want to be overly perfumed. Use as a bodyspray

I must edit this when I get to try it on my skin, and am I ever looking forward to that! When I picked up the bottle and smelled it, I wasn't expecting much due to the simplistic packaging (I know, I know, shallow). But I was absolutely taken with how delicious Eau des Jardins smells! I'm a citrus fan, but usually find citrus notes muddled with something... sharp. But this, this was like biting into a wonderfully sweet and juicy orange. Utterly delicious. I'm hoping it'll turn out the same on me :)

edit: same, for the most part, on my skin as it was straight from the bottle... just a tad more green in the dry down. lovely!

Este perfume me recuerda un poco a Moschino Funny, ambos son cítricos con un dulzor muy especial, al estilo de Ligh Blue de D&G.
Muy perdurable y es ideal para el día o para trabajar.

Another Clarins beauty. fresh, moist and sparkling.

A terrific every day summer scent, easy to wear during work hours as I endure the dry 30+ degree heat of the Australian summer.

love the fresh burst of fruit followed by the lovelier moist vetiver.

A soothing aroma with herbal vigour and despite the citrus opening Eau des Jardins is not a shallow fruity floral

Its an invigorating smell. Like the first day in a foggy forest. Might be the delicious beech smell witch is strong in the beginning. Its zesty and uplifting. I LOVE it!

Very pleasant, quite fresh, yes quite similar in the first movement to Light blue only better by far. The dry down reminds me of Gucci Eau de Parfum II. But again better version of it. Absolutely worth spending the money on. Nicely crafted happy scent.

I "tested" Eau des Jardins when an obnoxious sales assistant at Debenham's sprayed this in my face because I hesitated one second to say NO when she asked me if I knew the new Clarins scent.
Anyway, I liked how my face smelled and my husband liked it, too.
He says it smells like chilled lemonade and fuit drops (in a good way!).
I have bought a big 100ml bottle (in a different Debenham's store) and used this during the summer months.
It worked really well and I smelled fresh and sweet for weeks without attracted wasps.
And as the 100ml bottle is only £ 27 I will probably buy another one for next summer.

Love! Love! Love! If you wanted to like Happy by Clinique but found the synthetic smell off putting, then this is for you. This has all the zesty citrus you could want (think Body Shop's satsuma shower gel) and the synthetic notes have been replaced by a beautiful, fresh and clean flowery scent which is uplifting but not overpowering. Fantastic fragrance for Spring/Summer. This fragrance has put a smile on my face that is for sure!

I really liked this. It smells like a frutier version of D&G Light Blue. I would get this if I hadn't just bought D&G earlier this month. I have to try this on my skin

I just got this yesterday... it was funny because when I went into the perfumery I was looking for something completely different... and then I found THIS.

Fresh, clean, uplifting. Wonderful. I feel happy when I wear it. It's my favourite perfume now. It reminds me a tiny bit of "Pure Morning" by Marc O'Polo, which I loved... guess it's the citrusy top notes.

By the way, I got a lot of compliments on this fragrance.

I just HAD to have it. This is a wonderful scent I will never get tired of. And it hydrates the skin, leaving it soft and fresh.


I TOTALLY LOVE IT!

An orange flavored body spray. Agree totally with ezdravkova.

VERY NICE FRAGRANCE PERFECT FOR SUMMER DAYS, I GOT MORE THAN 150 PERFUMES BUT THIS ONE PUT ME IN A GOOD MOOD FOR SOME REASON PLUS SMELL GORGEOUS , WELL DONE CLARINS.

i agree nothing special
and
i heard some clarins consultants are selling this by saying it smells like Jo Malone?
discuss?

This is a perfect summer fragrance! Very fresh and fruity, without being to cold.
I got it today as I wanted to get myself a refreshing summer fragrance. At first I wanted to go for Aqua di Gioia, but found Eau de Jardins to be much more plesant and suprisingly lasting.

Recently tried this, as here in the UK it was released last month. The bottle very summery. Although the SA told me this was unisex I think that this would work for women more than men (in my opinion). Clarins website describe it as 'sparkling freshness of fruity zests, captivating note of wild rose and the scent of comforting wood....combined with the skin care benefits of beech, sorbier and blackcurrant bud extracts'. It's more fruity and less herbal than previous body treatment scents from their range and has very good staying power. Today here in London it's 29 °C, which is hot for here, and I didn't want to wear my recent purchase Chloe (one of the few perfumes that you can actually smell on me!) as it's a bit cloying for hot wheather. Out of my 100 odd perfume collection I prefered Clarins Eau de Jardins over JM verbenas of Provence, grapefruit, LBM, AG Eau de Hadrien, Fresh Hisperades, Citron de vigne, eau de rochas etc. If you like Citrus-fruity fragrances that are not annoyingly sweet then I would definitley give this one a go. I personally can spray this many times without getting sick of it and find it very calming for some reason! I'm using my samples at the moment and will be buying a full bottle in due course.

I tested this today.....
If you like fresh 'zesty' fragrances, you will LOVE this....
and its also surprisingly long lasting which is unusual for most fragrances today.
(I also received a compliment on how nice I smelled) - which doesnt happen very often!!!!!
This is perfect for summer

It is not true! It is wonderful fragrance.Clarins never did it better!

nothing speacial.. fresh, but way too generic, like you have smelled it 100 times before.. not worth spending time and money on it..
