PG16 Jardins de Kerylos Parfumerie Generale for women and men

The first thing that I immediatley noticed while smelling Jardins de Kerylos is the outstanding quality of this composition. Guillame's interpretation of the fig anhances its leafy green aspect to the point of becaming almost bitter. This "dangerous direction" is cleverly balanced by a subtle floral accord (most detectable in the drydown) that makes this composotion reaching an incrediblly sophisticated and refined perfection.

Jardins de Kerylos is far from beeing a semplicistic fragrance and together with Heeley's Figuer, Diptyque's Philosykos and L'artisan's Premier Figuer settles among the best fig interpretations around. Good.

Rating: 8/10

I enjoy this clean, simple, clearly defined fig scent. It is fresh, sweet and bright and a joy to wear on a hot day when florals won't do.

A lovely grassy scent. I did not get the usual fig-sharpness (As in Philosykos), but rather a wet green freshness. Reminded me of a fresh and sunny spring day, and that made me just really happy.

The base is not very strong, to me it was almost invisible, but others smelled and liked it.

On me, this has a lovely fresh fig smell with green notes. But it almost completely faded in about an hour, so probably not the best fig scent for me.
