Monet’s Garden is a small, leaf-green ballistic, studded with little candy violets and intensely perfumed with many, many flowers. When it first hits the water you could shut your eyes and really believe you were in Monet’s greenhouse, what with all the ylangylang flowers, carnations and violets that went into making it. A hint of exotic is added in the form of middle eastern galbanum and far eastern elemi oil; this is only right and proper as those impressionists were a bit exotic themselves once in a while.
(For those of you who have written to ask for the return of Flower Garden fragrance, Monet’s Garden smells just the same; bathe in one of these and you’ll be perfumed all day—Auntie P.)
