I tried a sample of this lovely fragrance today and I find some similarities with XS Pour Elle and Ghost Serenity.
Would love to own a whole bottle, very feminine and irresistible.

Big Thanks to SerenityCindy! I also ordered this at TheFragranceShop.com and am very pleased. Their version is in some sense even better. I also smell a strange note in the opening of the original but this one is missing in the perfume oil and body lotion. The scent is very long lasting and extremely relaxing. Adorable!

Best fragrance of all time, my first and favourite parfume.I am so sad that it’s not available any more. such a shame.

Indeed similar to acqua di gio, I have small bottles of both and am wearing both to compare right now. I find this sweeter than acqua. I’m not sure how my bottles have aged though. A sweet aquatic for me. I smell the flowers quite strongly.

READ THIS IF YOU ARE MISSING THIS SCENT:
I have been looking for this scent for almost 10 years, since they discontinued it. I didn’t expect much, but went ahead & ordered a dupe from The Fragrance Shop dot com, and just got their $6 sample to try. I received it today & I’m quite amazed with the job they did–at first I wasn’t sure about it, but noticed it was a near match. But after wearing it for 10 minutes on the skin, it transformed into an exact match that I could not distinguish from the original! A few hours later, the scent is still intact & so lovely. If you have missed this scent as much as I have, this may be an option for you to try. I’m really thrilled, and the added bonus is that the staying power is much longer with this dupe, too! Time to do a happy dance 🙂

Artemesia overload with hints of rose, bamboo, and cucumber. I adored both this one and its sister, Energizing Fragrance. Sadly, if you can find them now, they’re usually spoiled. That said, even when this one turns, it still smells good ~ just different, and only really something I would spray in the air. I love it.

such a shame,to me this was an Epiphany, a true zen moment when you spray it on.it didn’t last for long so i used to carry it with me in my bag all day long.i was obsessed with the change it made on my mood after a spray or two.
a unique gardenia bamboo haven that i wish i could smell again.
one of those pick me up scents when you feel a little sickly, sunshine on a cold lake water.i tried so hard to find a similar one but no.allas
i miss it so!

I miss this fragrance. It’s been years but I can still feel the bottle in my hand. Bring this back into production!

I like this scent a lot for summer, but on me it doesn’t smell anything like what the notes describe. It isn’t flowery on me, and definitely no rose. It’s very clean smelling and a little bit aquatic (but not in a bad way, like aquatic often is on my skin). It reminds me of Acqua di Gio, but without the sweetness. There is just a tiny “hint” of sweet. On me it is light, clean, and just slightly sharp. It seems almost like a citrus fragrance without the citrus.

A light, pleasant, floral fragrance with some aquatic notes. I thought I smelled melon, but of a more natural sort than one would find in a typical 90s aquatic. It’s not among the listed notes, though. There is a delicate floral aspect too, alongside a sharp green undertone that I attribute to the Artemisia. Bamboo as a note tends to lend a woodiness to a composition, but not here. (I wonder how the bamboo accord is assembled: whether it is fictive, and whether we are encouraged to find it in this fragrance, relying on the powerful suggestion of the name Shisheido.) It’s a fragrance you wear for yourself, not to attract or impress others.
I got my vintage bottle for just 2.5 USD at a flea market. I don’t know whether the age of the juice is a factor, but this is pretty low-key, linear and reliable. I don’t get the sharp floral assault described by other reviewers. It is undemanding, won’t offend, wears close to the skin, is feminine without being froufrou. Love the bottle’s unpretentious lines and muted green glass. Perfect for sunny, dry spring weather.

Terasa di kebun bambu yang basah , mirip kosmetik , mirip shampo … Hati2 parfum yang sudah kedaluwarsa
mitya0387 – :
i loved this…not enough to pay for this hard to find scent..but it was nice…
dmb2010 – :
I’m not usually into florals at all, yet I was drawn to this. This fragrance makes me feel very feminine, and is nice for a date. Not girly or sexy… just a very pretty feminine scent.

I love this scent! My mom and I both used it back in ’98, but when I look to purchase it on eBay, it cost an arm and a leg! The nerve of those people trying to sell it that high! It is a beautiful scent, but it really doesn’t have to cost $230!
Sachaadolleasp – :

muff – :
gardenia!!! must i say more. i love this scent, so floral and grassy yet so creamy. very relaxing.
qik536bedyWelty – :
I like this one too good relaxing fragrance green fresh remind me walk in garden around bamboo two sides and have wind.
Jacob_Smith – :
I agree with the previous reviewer – this perfume was not well named. It has a pulsing floral energy, at least initially. I love it (used SPARINGLY) but my friend describes it as “a floral revolt”. The heavy gardenia, peony and rose certainly come through loud and clear, and at first it feels a bit unbalanced. However, once these top notes relax a bit, the softer, cleaner, more serene green notes peak through, and the composition changes to something much more zen-like. Worth the initial essence of a pissed-off garden.

i dont think is so relanxing, i think it has to much energy, to me is a little strong at first but later it becomes better i wear it with warm color

My #1 favorite fragrance, very disappointed that it has been discontinued. For those of you who love it also and wish to find something similar, these four fragrances are supposed to be most like it:
