Basic Information and First Impression
Simple Garden is a Citrus Aromatic Eau de Parfum by Nonfiction. Lime, bergamot, clary sage, basil, musk, and cedarwood create the clean feeling of walking through a quiet late-summer garden.
Perfumer, Brand Background, and Creation Story
The perfumer is Domitille Michalon Bertier. The fragrance is linked to memories of her parents’ country herb garden, translated into Nonfiction’s minimalist daily-wear language.
Detailed Scent Analysis
The top notes are lime, bergamot, and mastic; the middle notes are clary sage, geranium, and basil; the base is musk and cedarwood. The scent moves from citrus brightness, into an herbal garden, and finally toward clean skin and dry shade.
Comparison and Positioning
The episode compares Simple Garden with Aesop Tacit, Diptyque Philosykos, and CK One to clarify its softer herbal citrus character and close-wearing cleanliness.
Buying Guide and Recommendation
Simple Garden is available as an Eau de Parfum in sizes including 50 ml and 100 ml on the Japanese official site. It is recommended for people who want a clean citrus-herbal scent for mornings, offices, white shirts, and quiet daily routines.
Real-World Wear and Scenes
It suits late spring, summer, and early autumn mornings, as well as cafes, museums, libraries, workdays, and after-shower moments. Its projection and longevity are modest, but that lightness matches Nonfiction’s ritual-like approach to scent.
