Gardens of India / 79

A rich white‑floral cream where tuberose and jasmine bloom over soft, milky sandalwood, evoking an elegant Indian garden on warm skin.

Scent Development and Character

Gardens of India / 79 is a concentrated white-floral Eau de Parfum built around luminous tuberose and jasmine resting on smooth, milky sandalwood. The opening feels like stepping into a dew‑laden Indian garden at dawn: green facets of jasmine buds and fresh tuberose create a bright yet dense floral cloud. As it settles, the tuberose becomes creamier and more velvety, intertwining with a sweeter, almost fruity jasmine and a soft powdery halo. The base develops into a gentle, enveloping sandalwood accord that adds warmth and a subtly woody creaminess rather than heaviness, giving the impression of white petals laid on polished wood. Overall it wears as an elegant, sensual white‑floral cream with moderate sweetness and a refined woody backbone, closer to a continuous floral‑woody aura than a sharply segmented top, heart and base.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

This fragrance is best for situations where a polished, expressive white‑floral presence is appropriate: evenings out, arts events, or daytime occasions where a dressed‑up, sensual aura suits the mood. Its density and warmth make it more comfortable in mild to cool temperatures or air‑conditioned interiors; in very hot, crowded settings it can feel overwhelming, so judicious application and awareness of proximity to others are advisable. Editorial estimate: most suited to spring and autumn, with good versatility into mild summer evenings and temperate winter days, provided application is controlled. Sillage is estimated as editorial estimate: sillage is above moderate, with a noticeable aura in the first few hours that gradually softens to a closer, creamy floral‑woody trail., with editorial estimate: longevity is moderately long to long, often around 6–9 hours on skin with the white‑floral heart lingering well into the drydown. wear.
