DARK GARDEN (Bourbon French)

An appropriate name for this combination of damask rose and five base notes (amber, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, vanilla). It is somber, dark, reserved and undemanding. The impression I get is that this is most appropriately worn at funerals, where the usual choice would be to wear nothing at all, so as not to stand out or bring anything disturbing to the overall pall of grief.

This is not to say anything against the scent itself. What most stands out are the rose and the patchouli, rounded by the amber and vanilla. It is certainly dry, quiet, is really a skin scent as it does not project, and is perfectly respectable. It is promoted as a unisex scent and I can agree with that. It would be appropriate for either sex to wear.

I can't get excited over Dark Garden, but it certainly has its place in societal use. For use on somber, serious occasions.
