I think Andrier is a fantastic perfumer, let's just get that out of the way. I think her aesthetic is as strong as Roundnitkas or Cellier, Jean Claude Ellena....any perfume who's style really is their own. Sometimes I think she's underated as being too modern, minimal and basically just making a billion Iris perfumes, which is sort of true but also sort of missing the point. This is a new line and a venture into perfumery outside of the first which was famously with Frederic Malle, and a fragrance I own because I think it's a curious art piece, complex and challenging but also a bit too challenging as I never feel compelled to wear it. So anyway, yes this is the first I tried from the new line and although I'm not one of those folks who genders fragrance and makes a big fuss about defying the marketing to 'wear what you want' (I think that's kinda implicit) However, I still have personal boundaries as to what I consider, too feminine for me personally, and Jardin de L'Orangerie falls into that category. Very pleasant creamy, lactonic opening with a very pretty orange blossom which descends into a musky, vanilla blah. It's very nice and well made, but not for me, I prefer my orange blossoms much more on the indolic, waxy side and surrounded by something interesting to set them off, or just fresh, cologne aspects. Sandalwood and orange blossom is not a misleading description, it delivers them, but in a way that is not really my scene. (This review is based on a first impression and I was only confident enough to write this review as I've tried zillions of perfumes at this point and I'm 85% sure my opinion won't shift too much upon giving it a proper wear. Having said all that, perfume still surprises me so stay tuned for a possible update)
