I had this perfume when I was in highschool and loved it.
I agree with some of the reviewers who say that it’s totally different but unlike some of them I actually love the new smell too.
The confusion is in bringing something back with the same name and bottle but completely different smell.
The original was more floral and suited me at that age. This new formulation suits me now and is less floral. The orris root and woodiness is more prominent. Like it’s matured with me. Amazing value for money and handy size bottle.
At this price, no harm in trying and in my opinion, it smell expensive and exclusive.

a nice dry floral aldehyde with vanilla and a hint of fruity tone in the top then a deep/darkness from musk, sandalwood, benzoin; rose in the base and powdery from the orris in the final drydown

Jardin d’Amour, it’s a bit of a 80s style scent. Deep rose ambre. It was made in 1986, you can find similarity to Paloma Picasso eau de toilette. Excellent durability 12 hours.

I wasn’t expecting much from this, based on price and the less than pricey looking bottle. But I spritzed it on and I really, really like it. It’s smells much more expensive and sophisticated than it is. Almost in the same family as Aromatics Elixer, albeit a different scent, but sexy and earthy in the same way. After I sprayed it on, everyone who’s walked past my desk has commented, “Ooh, it smells nice.” So, I guess it works for me!

I bought a box which had this and Le Jardin. I bought the same set for my mom. She loved d’Amour and I loved the original, so I gave her my d’Amour and she gave me her Le Jardin 🙂 Win-win

oh this is lovely! smells like vintage lipsticks! that was my first thought when i sniffed the cap, wich is perfect considering max factor immediately makes me think of marilyns perfect red pout. i imagine this is how the lovechild of agent provocateur and lanvin arpege would smell like. its a swoon worthy fragrance… on my skin i get fancy aldehydes mixed with heady ylang ylang and powdery roses. its so fluffy! yup, i feel like a goddess wearing this. or possibly a cute young lady driving a hot rod. too glam to give a damn! hah!

What a beautiful fragrance! I recently acquired this treasure and I am going to try my hardest to make it last. I don’t ever want to be without it in my hoard again! This is a perfect example to prove that a perfume can be both inexpensive and exquisite. Immediately after spritzing it on, I am hit like a freight train by an amazing, luscious, divine, heady, decadent bouquet of the most delicious flowers I’ve ever smelled. Enraptured is the only way to describe how I feel when I spray this precious juice on. My mean skin – that loves to eat all of my favorite scents – goes to work pronto, so sillage is not that great. I definitely think arms length is the max it travels. My husband is only a step or two away from me and can’t tell that I’m wearing perfume at all. That is so sad…This is so delicious everyone should get to enjoy it! The floral notes pretty much hit me full force and all at once, and lucky for me, they stick around for a while. I must confess, I’m getting lightheaded from sniffing my wrist! As time passes the base notes start to warm up, most noticeably the woods for me. Maybe a hint of amber and maybe, just maybe, a whisper of musk. I’m not getting vanilla, but I’m actually relieved because my hubby hates vanilla…it causes him to have sneezing attacks. So far so good, with no sneezing. Overall, I would have to say this is on my “LOVE” list, and the vast majority of my perfumes only make the “like” list. I think we have the beginning of an intense addiction here. By all means, if you LOVE florals and haven’t tried this, do so! I really think you’ll be glad you did. When the scent is almost gone…in a mere 3 hours I can’t even smell it hardly at all on my wrist…I am at least left with a comforting memory and can look forward to my next spritz!
P.S. I just figured out what this is reminding me of! When I was a kid, every year for her birthday and Christmas, my Dad helped us kids buy my Mom some highly perfumed, luxurious bath oil pearls. They had a high quality fragrance oil in them, even I could tell that as a kid and pre-teen. This perfume brings those bath beads, and all the memories associated with them, to my mind. Isn’t smell memory awesome? I have always had the best memory recall when it involved a specific scent.

It is now made by EdenClassics – not Max Factor as such anymore. I bought this today in search of the warm/rose/floral/balsamic scent from my early elementary school years and… it’s totally different! The bottle looks similar (as in the ad) and so does the box, but it smells like Paloma Picasso/Ysatis kind of thing – which is not bad but totally different from what it used to be 25 years ago!

I smell honey… a dark honey note in the vintage/original fragrance. First I thought it was patchouli in it that mingled so well with the rose, but now I’m not so sure… Maybe it is the rosewood + sweet floral notes that creates that dark honey smell? Also, a lovely ylang ylang note is quite apparent. Apart from the linear performance and moderate sillage I think this fragrance is quite fabolous. If you find a little vintage, buy it and try it. It is a very good one. 🙂

I had this when I was about 17/18 years old. But this one smells different and I don’t like it (the bottle is different as well). Luckily I found a small bottle of the original perfume 🙂
Enrique – :
I remember the original smelling much different to this. The original was definitely a bit wow and for evening wear. The reformulation smells exactly like Ponds cold cream. Exactly! AND for those of you who don’t know what that smells like. Rose water is the nearest I can think of.
I bought it to remember my youth….but it is going on Ebay…..Yuk…I feel like I have a face covered in cold cream from the smell.

There were only two perfumes I simply loved during my childhood through my teen years and they were LeJardin Damour in the black ovalish bottle, and Paris by Yves Saint Laurent. Both have sinse been reformulated& I refuse to buy the new cersions of these. Recently I found a bottle LeJardin Damour on online auction site the seller listed it as “having been collecting dust in the drawer sinse the 80 s.” so I purchased it hoping it was indeed old, and Im happy to find it actually must be original! It smells just like I remember from school. I wore it every other day from 1988-1993, alternating with Paris, then never found it again until today. Someone on here helped me remember its nsme thanks so much! Now I have a full size of this LeJardin from 1987, and a little travel bottle of original Paris also, also sold online by someone who got it & dislikes it in the 80’s and just got arnd to selling. Ill be getting a full sized Paris soon, and more LeJardin if I can find vintage. This is strong scented stuff& lasts on me. I have never smelled florals in it to me its like wine and Its not soapy to me one bit. I love bold scents no one around me ever wears or can find. I do well with odd scents, its the ones everyone likes that seem to smell bad on me, like Happy or Opium. Now to locate some original Poison as well.

It’s the most horrible perfume I have ever had, my brother offered me a gift set of Le Jardin d’amour, le jardin smells really nice, it reminds me of Anais Anais de Cacharel but this d’amour is just awful!!

Me and aldehydes a big No, I just don’t like it when it’s aldehydes in a perfume. Yes it reminds of Agent Provocateur but the smell is annoying me, aldehydes and something soapy.
Thank you Mooniq for the sample.
bullets – :
A nice and a bit softer version of Agent Provocateur L’agent. No sweet notes at all, alot of woodsynotes in a good way. Not typical femalish scent – almost an unisex.
En trevlig och lite mjukare version av Agent Provocateur L’agent. Inga söta doftnoter alls, mycket träiga noter på ett bra sätt. inte typiskt kvinnlig -nästan lite unisex.

I had a bottle of this as a little girl back around 1988/89 my mum turned the artistic lid with metallic floral decal (unlike the new edition in the picture) into a decorative lamp in my barbie house. I still remember the smell of it reminds me of Avon ‘pearls and lace’ from that time as well powdery musky florals I had a mini roller ball of that one don’t think it is listed in the database.

Absolutely vile! I bought this thinking it would smell the same as it did originally in the late 80s. Oh, how wrong I was. I sprayed it on this morning and it smelt like a cheap air freshener had been sprayed to cover the smell of vomit. I foolishly thought I would give it a chance for the smell to change (for the better) but it never happened, so I had to scrub it off my wrists. And it took a lot of scrubbing, let me tell you. Not sure if it just does not suit my skin, so I am going to pass it on to my mum to see if she gets on with it. I have the updated Le Jardin and that smells pretty much like I remember, but this is a real stinker on me.

It reminds me an old friend who usually wore it when we were teenagers.It was a clear,crisp smell,rare to find nowadays.
VOLKODAV – :
I loved the original of this, which was in a more delicately artistic box than the one pictured here. Although the fragrance stayed the same, sadly it’s lasting power did not, either in the bottle or on the skin.
A very feminine, warm floral, not to be ignored, which drew an appreciative, “Mmmm… you smell NICE!” from a total stranger.
How I wish that when a company sells out to another, they would put a clause in the contract to stop the newby from changing the formulae. I’m fed up with buying same name rip-offs!
