One of the first white florals that didn't sock me in the nose. So soft and creamy in it's initial stages, then the dry-down is more ethereal than I would have expected. Medium sillage and good longevity...I like to wear this for day-time.

Hmm, just got a sample of this through. Smells dated to me, reminds me very much of YSL Paris which was much loved in the 80s. Not unpleasant though just don't think I'll be buying or wearing it.

Goodness, no! The start-off, while loud and of its time, is lovely enough: white florals, indeed. But within 30 minutes there develops on me the oddest, simply strangest vegetal smell... I want to say celery? Root vegetable gone bad? Where does this come from, maybe the iris? Truly weird, like the cuttings from a rose garden two days after all has started to rot... I could never wear this, it seems off, but I'll try again on the off chance this was a once-off mess-up.

I wore this shortly after it was first launched in the 80s and well into the early 90s. This is a full, intoxicating white floral done exceptionally well and a young, sweet fragrance done to perfection. Jardins de Bagatelle leaves the modern candyfloss scents aimed at the teenage market miles behind.

I no longer own a bottle, but one day I might again; depends how nostalgic I'll get! In a way I quite like each era to have its own signature scent, so I might be content to enjoy Bagatelle on others.

Lovely. I love to layer the EDT with Jicky EDP. Still, by itself, a masterpiece.

I bought this fragrance in the EDT strength when it was first launched in 1983. It was the first Guerlain that I ever owned. I met my husband shortly after I started to wear it, and he loved it. I subsequently moved on to other Guerlains, like Mitsouko and Jicky.... But I just bought Jardins de Bagatelle again, this time in the EDP strength. I still love it! It makes me feel very special. To me, this fragrance is essentially a tuberose fragrance, which ranks alongside the likes of the legendary and beautiful Robert Piguet's 'Fracas', and the more recently launched 'Tuberose' by the House of Caron. It has tremendous lasting power, and it is both distinctive and elegant. It never fails to draw compliments. So, next time you are at the Guerlain counter, ask for a spritz of Jardins de Bagatelle, and feel special!
