Gardens Of India 79
by Parle Moi de Parfum
Gardens of India 79 is a light, feminine white floral centered around Indian jasmine and tuberose, softened by creamy sandalwood. The scent opens with a bright, fresh burst of floral notes that settles into a smooth, skin-soft drydown. It feels natural and unpretentious—like a dewy garden or the lingering warmth of incense in an Indian temple. The projection is moderate, with a soft presence that doesn’t dominate space, making it ideal for daytime wear and warmer seasons, especially spring and summer. While the scent is balanced and well-blended, it doesn't develop beyond its core floral-woody notes, offering few surprises in wear. Nonetheless, it's universally praised for its wearable elegance, especially by those who normally shy away from heavy florals. Its subtle sweetness and clean finish make it suitable for everyday use, office wear, or as a signature scent for those seeking something soft and creamy without the syrupy or cloying overload. A few users note that when worn in heat, it may develop an unusual, off-putting aroma, but for most, it remains pleasant and comforting.
