    As I love white florals I love Gigi. The quite dominant musc makes it different from the typical white floral fragrances, but might disturb if you look for a true floral. In any case, Gigi is unique to me, among all these flower perfumes nothing similar comes to my mind. In that sense it’s real niche, a lovely one.

    “Gigi you’re not at all that funny awkward little girl I knew. Over night there’s been a breathless change in you. When did your sparkle turn to fire and your warmth become desire, oh, what miracle has made you the way you are?”…….
    Jardin D’Ecrivains Gigi is such a beautiful gem of a fragrance. My nickname is Gigi so this suits me just fine. It really does feel like something Colette author of Gigi would wear in Paris in the spring time at the turn of the century. It’s a youthful young girl who is romantic and has the whole world ahead of her. The orange blossom in the opening is very pronounced, warm and heady. The jasmine and black currant blend well together and make it spicy. There’s just enough sandalwood to give it the true feel of a floral chypre with woodsy base. I feel so comforted by this fragrance. I can wear it to bed. I can wear it out of bed and every day in spring and summer. It’s a delicous and expertly made fragrance. You don’t need to seek out Chanels to get something amazing. This fragrance is equally as expensive but you get more out of it. It’s like the feeling of luxury from the past, like a vintage from the 1900’s even like a Francois Coty fragrance. It’s made of real flowers and real woods. I absolutely adore it. I would recommend this for romantic women and fans of real perfume.

    This is a deep, interesting scent.
    First, the juicy notes of grass and neroli begin to play, with the latter giving the impression of the ‘cleanliness’ of the fragrance. But this is only the prelude to what happens next.
    Jasmin and tuberose come to life, with a fresh scent of flowers in bloom, intoxicatingly intensive – I cannot feel any trace of creamy softness and the usual ‘soapy’ tuberose feel is almost unnoticeable.
    Instead, animalic character begins to take over, bitter and physiological, but for the blackcurrant accent which keeps your head and nose in order (more or less…).
    It is a perfect white floral for the ones who are just starting to get to know the more difficult ones.
    I imagine it being worn by someone young and daring.
    However, the drydown is a bit disappointing, not to say ordinary. The fragrance is worth wearing for the magnificent display in the first couple of hours, though.

    Gigi is a big white floral on me. Tuberose and jasmine predominate, and although I generally like tuberose scents, I find the combo here to be a bit overwhelming. A hint of grass and orange blossom kick things off, but they are short lived.
    If I want a sophisticate white floral tuberose blend, I’ll stick with the lovely Amouage Honour. Gigi isn’t for me.

    I agree with heymoe9. I’m sure that some will adore this and wear it with pleasure, but it’s not for me. I have tried to wear it a few times but I can’t. Thank god for the orange blossom in it or it would be unwearable to me. No sooner have I applied it than I want it off. I don’t mean to say this is a bad fragrance; on the contrary. It is a well crafted scent that some will love. Unfortunately, on me, it is a tuberose nightmare. Sorry Gigi.

    I joined Olfactif and began with the August scents. I wasn’t sure about Gigi when I first put it on, but as it wore on, I liked it more and more. Happy with the scent and the creationist story of how it came to be.

    Aunt Alicia nodded and smiled. “Today my dear Gigi, you will learn about the art of perfume. Where to apply it and when, and how to choose a fine collection that is almost as important as a fine collection of jewels, you see Gigi this is your final lesson.
    “My final lesson?”
    Uncharacteristically Aunt Alicia put her arm around Gigi’s waist and gave her a squeeze. “Yes my dear you are ready to graduate to womanhood. Now let us begin. Sit down.”
    Gigi sank onto the silky soft Louis XVI chair and looked into the mirror and saw for the first time that she was indeed a lovely young woman.
    “Now then Gigi, The first thing you must know about perfume is this. A woman must never smell like an artificial flower, she must smell like a woman who is at the center of humanity’s garden.”
    ***
    “Gigi” by Jardin d’Ecrivains is a lovely young lady of a perfume ready for life’s adventures to begin. It has the most interesting characteristic of being youthful and yet set in a classical mode of sophistication one usually associates with classic perfumes from the early 20th Century. This is a wonderful perfume that would be well suited to any young woman daring enough to step up to a perfume that is more than just pretty, and sweet. “Gigi” is for a woman of any age who appreciates the fine art of perfume. It is a fine introduction to the possibilities there are in the world of fragrance.
    The Parisian perfume house of Jardin d’Ecrivains inspiration behind its perfumes is to create great fragrances inspired by great literature. The motto of the house is is from Victor Hugo, “Vous voyez, parfum éveille la pensée.”, “You see, perfume awakens thought.” Yes perfume does indeed awaken thoughts and dreams, worlds beyond our own. Brilliant literature interpreted by brilliant notes and it all works so wonderfully well in “Gigi”.
    “Gigi” opens in a sparkling fleeting green of a freshly cut grass note. It shimmers with dewy brightness as it blends with the bright early morning aroma of sun warmed Neroli and Orange blossoms. A perfectly lovely and young opening that entices the mind to want, like Gigi, to run barefoot though the notes and bask in the innocent sensuousness it engenders.
    Then it all changes, the metamorphous into sophisticated perfume happens here in the middle notes. The tuberose arrives in soft splendor, it is restrained and lovely. Not a screeching indolic but rather soft and romantic white glow that enhances the perfume in the most delightful way. It flows from the warmth of the skin interwoven with jasmine and a dark leaf and berry blackcurrant that gives it an earthy wine note. It is as if the white flowers were sprinkled with a fine red wine like Bacchanalian dew.
    The finale of the perfume is all sandalwood, and white musk that keep the memory of those wonderful white flowers glowing in the background. All of the notes are few in “Gigi” and just the right ones. Rather than jamming the perfume full of too many notes it is composed beautifully and with thought to what it is meant to be and of its inspiration.
    In my testing of the perfume it has a moderate longevity of about six hours. The sillage is moderate as well not pushing out rudely but staying at about three feet and inviting to the nose of those within range. My sample came with my August Olfactif delivery. I am so impressed with this sample service from every aspect, themes (August is all about the last days of summer) packaging and their wonderful website and blog complete with interviews with the perfumers. I encourage you to try Olfactif, a must for any perfume aficionado.
    GIG by Jardin d’Ecrivains FIVE GOLD STARS *****

    When I first put this on, I thought the garden ears were mowing the lawn. As it dried I smelled mostly tuberose. That flower and I don’t get along, so shower time for me.
    It is a nice scent, just not for me.
