Secret Garden
A jasmine floral drawn from the perfume factories of Grasse in August, softened with fruit, lifted by citrus and green notes, then settling on musk, coumarin and vanilla.
Perfumer: Amandine Galliano
After several years in England, a return to the Grasse region brought back a world of smells tied to childhood. That homecoming, recorded on the French page, is where Secret Garden begins: in August, when jasmine scents the perfume factories of Grasse and its careful extraction releases something spellbinding.
The opening is light and bright, with citrus, pink berry, a fruity touch and a green edge. Jasmine sambac then takes the centre, joined by rose, iris and orange blossom in a full, layered white-floral heart.
Fruit softens the jasmine without taking away its sensuality. Underneath, a woody base carries musk, coumarin and vanilla, ending on a quiet, hay-tinged sweetness.
