Le Jardin de Monsieur Li - Eau de toilette

FRESH BRIGHT FLORAL

I sampled this in store a few years ago. This was such a wonderful scent that I bought the large size on the spot. Yes, it is a floral scent, but I don't notice any rose or jasmine, it is something different. Really bright and fresh, clean. If you are tired, spray this on after your shower for a morning wake-up to be remembered. Lasts well also. I got compliments on my fragrance when I wore this to work.

Very soft scent

Received a sample for free from influencer and it smells pretty. Not strong and overpowering. Had a nice clean scent. Do not last long

Hard pass for me

Quite disappointed. It’s an extremely light fragrance with virtually no staying power. Also more powdery and floral than citrusy or woodsy. I love citrus and woodsy fragrance and this was recommended. Will never buy again.

Beautiful, clean scent that lasts. I get compliments every time I wear it.

Ethereal

A very unique, fresh floral but not too floral scent. I cannot compare this scent with anything else. This scent will not give you a headache. It is walking in a field with ray of light shining through and you smell the scent of beautiful nature around you. This is mild and tend to not last long. I am not sure if it doesn’t last long or you just get used to it. I wore it and I asked my bf if he can smell my new perfume and he said no. Lol. But I kinda like it that way, a perfume that’s not over-powering that only people who comes close to you can smell it.

Beautiful subtle and long-lasting fragrance! Very pleased!

This has a nice sillage and longevity on the skin but I find that it tends to smell more like men’s cologne over time. I gave it to my boyfriend.

Serenity

This has been my signature scent since I turned 30... Some people like to switch things up for different seasons or occasions, I just love going back to this one and eventually ONLY wearing this perfume. It is of an elegant grassy tone, which I always enjoy and I think you can interpret it differently in different seasons. It is almost serene and light - kind of there and becomes a part of your personality. I've gone through two samplers from the mini sets ( each year I get a new one, kind of obsessed), and a 3.3oz, and I am ready for the mama size!

Finally, it's Mine!!!

I first tried this Eau de Toilette when I bought the Le Jardin Coffret set. Instantly this was my favorite! The smell is so clean and fresh, it has been my go-to scent at work. As a nurse, I am very careful about wearing perfumes, while at work. Monsieur Li, as I love to call this Eau de Toilette, smells so, so very good, that I have been wearing it more often at work, albeit on a lighter and more conservative sprays than I would have if I was on a social setting. It's one of those scents that just make me feel so clean and fresh and vibrant!!! I think this is why I have been loving it when I go to work for 10-12 hours. I am just very happy to finally call Monsieur Li: Mine. LOL!!!

Best summer fragrance

I’m on my second bottle of this amazing eau de toilette. It’s light and fresh. It’s very unique nothing smells like it, but it smells great. I always get asked what I’m wearing.

nostalgic and summer scent

A fresh, subtle, and nostalgic scent, reminding of the Suzhou gardens and rivers, reminding me of “garden of the forking path” sorry by Jorge Luis Borges.

Back to an old favorite.I am allergic to a lot of manufactured scents so colognes and perfumes are a problem- especially the more commercial ones.I did an exhaustive search for a more natural scent but was deterred by a lot of factors , price and a tendency for the scent to change dramatically as it is blended differently.I love "apres la moussant"by Hermes but it is hard to find - it never bothered my allergies.Oddly of all the commercial brands Hermes is the least offensive to me.I have used other Hermes scents over the years and I also do well with some Atelier fragrances and have used Annick Goutal and Jo Malone in the past.Finally I gave up trying the artisan brands and got this as it is created by the same perfume maker who conjured up apres la moussant.I am not sure it won't kick off my allergies at some point but I like the fragrance and was tired of not finding something I was happy with or that was so expensive I couldn't buy it on a regular basis.
