Clean fresh fig!
I smell what I thought was citrus, but I don’t see that listed.
Then he goes away.

The first blast of fig is on the creamy side, but not syrupy.
Then the “greenness” quickly manifest itself as a…rubbery tone. I remember violet leaf sometimes has such effect. Although fig leaf is among the notes list, it lacks certain “crushed stem” facet, as in Ichnusa (Profumum Roma) or even philosykos.
The creaminess and rubbery tone compete for a while, and in my hand, the rubber won the battle. So it settles down to a rather synthetic fig accord.

A wonderful transparent greenness gently infused with light florals. Jardins de Kerylos takes me to a well-kept rustic garden by the Mediterranean. In the cool shade under a fig tree i can watch the small boats moving across the bay.
Jardins de Kerylos is outstanding among the PG perfumes i tried so far. It does not last for long and projection is very moderate, but what a beautiful place to be for the time it lasts.

Mmmm. Fig, peach, cut grass on a breeze. It really is as it claims to be and so very very clean. It’s not the kind of scent I usually want to express myself with, it doesn’t quite fit my personality. However it doesn’t project much and is so pleasant to have on for personal enjoyment rather than to make a statement

Heartbreakingly pretty! Just beautiful. How can you not smile after smelling this?

This is a wonderful green fig scent; in fact I love everything about it except for its subpar longevity.
First of all Jardins De Kerylos has a great name; any perfume name suggesting a garden just does it for me, especially if it’s French (and even more so in this case, with the added interest of the Greek influence). This kind of name sets ridiculously high expectations for me, but in this instance they were realized. The opening was love at first sight/smell for me, and it gets me every time: a delicious wave of very natural, very fresh green figs and what can only be peaches, although they’re not listed as a note. It’s just the best kind of green; refreshing and clean and light, just slightly sweet, so very natural and, importantly, not boring at all. At this point I always feel like I have to order the biggest bottle available RIGHT THEN, costs be damned, and wear it most days for the rest of my life.
The only problem is, it does wear off extremely fast. It’s not unexpected for such a light summer scent, but it is a bit heartbreaking when you love something as much as this. I can imagine this wouldn’t be the case, or much less so, in very hot weather, like another reviewer mentioned; in those conditions the scent might linger a lot longer, and the sycomore that I can’t detect at all might show itself. But we just don’t get that kind of weather so very often where I live, so I guess this won’t be my summer signature after all, and a normal sized bottle for occasional use when I can respray often will have to do.

Was looking for a crisper, greener take on fig than the many pulpy and deep interpretations. Out of a few I sought out, this one did it best! Longevity is poor, though, and might keep me from purchasing a bottle.
harekk – :
It is Summer and I am sitting under a fig tree on our farm, eyes closed and nothing on my mind, feeling the sun gently tingle my face.
Smelling this takes me back to my childhood and I smell (yes, smell, not wear) this fragrance just for the memories and that is why this will always be a favourite.
Xeroxhodkz – :
Sweet and delicate, green fragrance.
It’s the most gentle fig fragrance I’ve encountered so far. This smells like sweet cut grass and fig leaf mixed together, smells very natural. I would say it’s Philosykos baby brother – innocent and baby soft.
The fragrance stays the same from the beginning to the end.
digz6666 – :
This is very similar to Philosykos,only the coconut is replaced with peache. I prefer philosykos is more balanced
MomaHedymossy – :
Think: mulched grass and fig twigs (not sweet fig fruit). That’s pretty much it!
It’s VERY green. Reminds me of being a kid and rolling down wet, grassy hills.
Jardins de Kerylos comes on strong on first spray: in the kind of way that “pinches” my nose. And then it disappears! There’s no particular development: it goes straight to dry down — which is simply a waaay weaker version of the first spray.
Maybe I’ll feel differently about it once I’ve caught a whiff of it on the wind, or after having worn it all night. It’s NOT a terrible perfume — I don’t want to scrub it off, and I could wear it anywhere, anytime. But I’m not wowed just yet.

Just fig!
alena1111 – :
I love the fresh fragrance of fig but unfortunately it doesn’t last long and fades away too fast. One must carry the bottle in a purse and vaporize it every now and then.
Polispas – :
I was looking for a “fresh light ethereal fragrance” for summer, as it gets ridiculously hot here, and lovely a fragrantican suggested this for me. Well, its perfectly what I was looking for. Its fresh, clean and best of all really natural! I get real fresh figs, (the milkiness of figs too) white peaches and very subtle tuberose, seamlessly blended, so real and so very natural…I have to emphasise that. On skin it develops wonderfully, I just want to keep inhaling! It sadly does not last a long time and is more like a skin scent in the dry-down.

A few years ago iwas working at beautiful peach orchards in Spain. This scent reminds me of this time – fresh, juicy, delicious peaches , full of sunlight, refreshing, divine. This is probably the most “real” of all fruity perfumes that i have tried. Although for some people it may be to sweet, i don’t find it clogging or unpleasant because it is so “real”, i feel none of the artificial soda-like sweetness which is the cardinal sin of some fruity perfumes. I would love to have a whole bottle. This is pure Summer, orchard, Sun, juice on your fingers and lips.

136) I tawt I taw a fig!
A floral-fig interesting but so short that I do not think it worthwhile to develop. even on paper it lasts only two-three hours
Un floral-figue intéressant mais tellement bref que
je ne pense pas que ça vaille la peine de développer plus que ça. Même sur papier il ne dure pas plus de deux-tois heures.

Wow… Not your typical take on fig. But indeed, this is so fresh and uplifting. I simply love the smell of it. The longevity is moderate at best and the sillage is rather tame. But this is still worth the purchase if you enjoy a fresh green fragrance.
[UPDATE: April 9, 2013]
I wore this in Kuwait’s heat today. This develops beautifully and lasts for eons. Every phase of development was pure enjoyment and I LOVE that sycamore!
Kiseabserma – :
I don’t know what happened, but instead of fig I smell an anis-y note right away, much more intense than fig, but then it turns into a really comfortable scent, even more pleasant than Premier Figuier, which is fig atop fig. Lasted about 2 hours, though.
invarbene – :
very clean fig,, not coconut,
very good.
my favorite fig parfume..
Deroxpcgsl – :
I like the green apple and the white peach (bellini! sic!) in the opening…very pleasant and easy-to-wear-fragrance…
DukeMike – :
The first thing that I immediatley noticed while smelling Jardins de Kerylos is the outstanding quality of this composition. Guillame’s interpretation of the fig anhances its leafy green aspect to the point of becaming almost bitter. This “dangerous direction” is cleverly balanced by a subtle floral accord (most detectable in the drydown) that makes this composotion reaching an incrediblly sophisticated and refined perfection.
Jardins de Kerylos is far from beeing a semplicistic fragrance and together with Heeley’s Figuer, Diptyque’s Philosykos and L’artisan’s Premier Figuer settles among the best fig interpretations around. Good.
Rating: 8/10
kab536elipseskism – :
A lovely grassy scent. I did not get the usual fig-sharpness (As in Philosykos), but rather a wet green freshness. Reminded me of a fresh and sunny spring day, and that made me just really happy.
The base is not very strong, to me it was almost invisible, but others smelled and liked it.
lentochka – :
On me, this has a lovely fresh fig smell with green notes. But it almost completely faded in about an hour, so probably not the best fig scent for me.
