MAISON MARGIELA From The Garden EDT

From the Garden is an uplifting fragrance that evokes the joyful feeling of a sunny afternoon spent in the garden. The grounding sensation of placing one’s hands in the earth; the excitement of picking ripe, juicy tomatoes; the buzz of bees in the air.

The fragrance’s Tomato Leaf accord combined with Green Mandarin notes creates a crisp, juicy effect. While green and uplifting, From the Garden’s notes of Patchouli and Geranium bring a humid, earthy quality. This, contrasted with the fragrance’s freshness, creates an elegant, crisp scent, evoking the memory of a sunny afternoon spent in a garden.

When creating this fragrance, perfumer Olivier Cresp was inspired by memories of spending time in his childhood garden with his father, of taking in the plants’ scent, and years later doing the same with his own son, Sebastien. From the Garden’s green and earthy notes remind Cresp of this transporting moment and being immersed in the tranquillity of a sun-drenched garden.

• How to use: As damp skin locks in the scent, apply the fragrance straight after showering or bathing and before getting dressed. Apply the fragrance on your pulse points for a more seductive effect and stronger diffusion. Spray the fragrance from at least 15-20 centimetres from the area of application. For a more diffused effect, spray the fragrance in the air and walk through it. Wait until the fragrance has dried down on your skin before smelling it. Rubbing the skin after spraying the perfume will destroy the bond and alter the scent.
