Jardin de Soleil Escada for women

Its amazing................

wow.. this is one lovely lovely happy happy scent.. love this one! I had one of these back in the 90's and yes, I still remember distinctly how nice this smells.. Its Summer in a bottle and 90s feel all over!

"Oh happy days......" :)))
This is a very outstanding Escada summer edition. I have 2 of 50ml bottles of it and i cherish them, since they are nothing like the nowdays versions of summer Escadas. Sunny and joyful, it indeed smells like a bubble gum but in a good way. It is not ultra sweet, but the magical combination of all notes is very attractive. Hyacint, raspberry, peach - mmmmmm.... just delicious! Indeed smells like a bit of sweet pineapple in some way. I also have to try it when it is very hot outside (today it is heavily pouring), maybe it will stay better on my skin then, but in general the staying power is quite weak, that´s the biggest minus for most the earlier summer editions of Escada.
Love it, love it , love it!!!
P.S. Reminds me strongly of a "Aqua di Gio" but with a more sweet notes in it. But the overall feeling is the same - fresh, marine, fruity. Even better than "Aqua di Gio" though not that intensive!

Having scrubbed off the asafoetida, my stroll through an Indian grocery now continues with Escada JARDIN DE SOLEIL, by far the most dominant note of which, to my nose, is fenugreek.

True, fenugreek is not listed as a note, but it was the first word out of my mouth upon spritzing this stuff on after years of neglect (and not without reason...) Perhaps the synthetic saffron has reacted with some other chemical in the mix to produce a molecule which happens to vibrate at the same frequency as the olfactorily relevant part of whatever molecule makes fenugreek smell like nothing on earth but..., well, fenugreek!

Whatever the explanation may be, based on my skin's reaction, JARDIN DE SOLEIL would be more aptly named BOMBE DE FENUGREEK. This does not smell like saffron--a note beloved to me--and the flowers, too, have all been watered with a saturated solution of fenugreek. Even the bees who try to gather pollen succumb, falling to the wayside as though drunk, never again to return to the hive. Perhaps "jardin de soleil" refers to the shimmering bodies of dead bumblebees strewn about this garden of wilted flowers.

Don't get me wrong: fenugreek has an esteemed place in Indian cuisine, but here it has been too liberally applied. I recommend JARDIN DE SOLEIL to all and only those who work in Indian groceries that sell spices in bulk, doled out using large aluminum scoops in the open air.

I found another Escada I like. Jardin de Soleil starts with a sugary blast of raspberry and peach that almost smells like pineapple. The blast doesn't last long and it begins to mellow to a slightly sweet blend of gardenia, jasmine, hyacinth and a touch of sandalwood, with the raspberry and peach barely hanging on in the background. I admit I like the beginning best, but the rest isn't half bad.

~ Have to add, sadly like some other Escada fragrances, the lasting power is poor on this one, around 2 hours.

A little old fashioned but the smell of fruits and sandalwood is terrific !

Very classy and luxurious scent. Smells very expensive and I agree that it might be a little old fashioned but who cares :)

i bought a collectors edition including 7ml samples with this one too, and it was very floral, a bit oldfashioned but i liked it
