I feel like I'm reviewing a different fragrance than everyone else here. Pastries? Gourmand?? Sweet??? On me, Jardins Ottomans is dry wood, bitter orange, spices and something that smells...

I hear disheartening rumors that this gem of a fragrance might get discontinued? if that's the case it's a real shame: this is a truly unique scent. To me this is the perfect spring fragrance,...

The wearing of Jardins Ottomans brings to mind Mediterranean pastries made with the most natural, aromatic ingredients. Generally, I eschew edible fragrances, but Jardins Ottomans enticed me one...

I'm writing a rare review for something I wouldn't repurchase but which intrigues me nevertheless. What I love so much about Victoire Gobin Daude's perfumes is that her descriptions of her products...

Ummmm..... if I sniff very, very fast, practically at the same time I spray this on, I get the faintest whiff of candied orange peel in chocolate. And then it's gone. Maybe I just imagined it?...

Jardins Ottoman is a very gentle orange liqueur, with a touch of vanilla, over very light fresh woods fragrance. Soft, comforting, cuddly, exotic drydown. Could work well on a woman or a man....

I obtained a sample and I'm glad I did, this turned into a sweet orange smell which reminded me of medicine from when I was child. Needless to say this was washed off pretty fast. Definitely...

Interesting... upon first sniff, Jardins Ottomans makes me think of some sort of orange medicine, very herbal and slightly synthetic. There is an overly sweet herbal note in here somewhere that...

Perfumer Victoire Gobin Daude describes the five scents that she launched in 2003 as "five little cocoons of happiness." She said, "I thought of plants that were a lot more exotic and more sensual...

What can I say, when I tried this on I ran to the liquor cabinet and pulled out the Triple sec, smells a lot like it! Very sweet orange liquer.

Sweet powdery orange sorbet, riskily underscored with a trace of exquisitely filthy patchouli: hair's-breadth close to armpit and ashtray, but masterfully tamed, breathtakingly balanced. This is...

Gorgeous--like eating an orange glace (or the scent of the orange part of a 50/50 bar) with a good bit of wood thrown in (and a dash of patchouli at the end). And I don't mean gaggy, sweet, cheap...

Love this one. The petitgrain lends a pleasing bitterness that balances the sweet, citric, and floral notes perfectly.

I agree with Victoria that this scent reminds me of the Mediterranean. For me, it conjures up images of the Middle Eastern/North African side of that sea. I think this is because the drydown of...

Jardins Ottomans combines the freshness of citrus and the richness of damp earth. It has the same kind of earthiness as Voleur de Roses, but instead of plums and roses there are lemon and orange...
