  Floral fragrance, softly musky, smells similar to CK One.

  A floral fragrance with a soft musk note that reminds me a lot of CK One.

  A very special classic for me, full of memories; running into it is like meeting that guy you hadn’t seen in years who always made your heart race. Softly sweet with intense longevity, far superior to almost all modern eau de parfums, perhaps because it belongs to the old school with many ingredients in its formula. That said, it hasn’t escaped being tinkered with and isn’t quite what it was at the start. I notice it’s creamy but nothing aggressive, rather delicate, maybe due to the nutmeg or freesia. Finding it today in a store outside Spain is a pleasant surprise worth smelling and remembering, because classics this simple and personal are rare these days, especially in niche perfumery. The only thing worth it in this tragedy of hardly finding anything we like in Spain’s big department stores is that you might stumble upon it by chance at an absurdly low price (in shops like the Gremlins store where Gizmo used to hang out), because sadly it no longer owns a name or advertising today. But in my world, it does, and with great honor it deserves a prominent spot on my shelf to remember times that, while not that distant, are already far away in today’s perfumery. Longevity is acceptable and the trail is moderate, which increases significantly with heat.

  The scent of my youth, very citrusy and floral, perfect for the climate of my hometown. The flowers stayed close to the skin, nothing invasive. I used two bottles until it was discontinued, and it brings back wonderful memories.

  The fragrance of my youth, very citrus-floral, perfect for my country’s climate. The flowers stayed close to the skin; it wasn’t invasive. I used two bottles until it was discontinued. It brings back wonderful memories.

  While I believe gender in fragrances is cultural, I feel this one leans more towards the feminine side. It’s floral, somewhat citrusy, and reminds me of the scent of some body creams. I think it’s youthful and discreet, perfect for a spring day or early summer.

  It became my fragrance, my signature, the scent that identified me and with which I was identified; we were one, soulmates. It lasted long on my skin, and I felt comfortable every day, but like every great love story, it had a sad ending… it was discontinued forever, and I couldn’t keep enjoying its delicious aroma, somewhat floral and fresh. I’ve searched and searched for something that identifies me as this fragrance did, but none has left its mark like Gieffeffe.

  To me, it smells like lacquer with citrus, and I get a wrinkled nose every time I smell it.

  Doesn’t anyone else get the vibe of Un Jardin en la Laguna by Hermès? Same tone of wet, salty white flowers, same soapy aftertaste of a washing machine sparking with creation from Nagel. Gieffeffe was the Italian equivalent of those 90s unisex waters like CK One. Paco Rabanne released theirs, and Ferré, who wasn’t exactly a big deal back then, dared to do Gieffeffe. And hey, it wasn’t bad. It’s still in production, a sporty water but with a more mature packaging than the others, which leaned towards sterile, youthful cleanliness. It smelled like creamy Dove soap bars, that citrus/musky/mineral soap flavor. It has lots of coriander and osmanthus, the latter being guilty of that velvet fruit skin aftertaste. What I keep smelling non-stop is freesia, not very feminine, without those mass-market acidic accords, all in the white range. It’s unisex and feels like it, but not the usual kind; it leans towards body care like Sanex or Dove, yet it’s nothing a man couldn’t wear without gender constraints. A very peculiar water, strange, salty, calcareous, and at 200 RPM, smelling of flowers and citrus skin, but zero indolic white flowers, very spiced, with movement and speed, with that little abstract touch that could be the taste of clean gum, a new filling, or a calcium-clogged faucet; something rare, metallic, on the verge of being annoying but very pleasant. P.S.: You either love it or hate it. Back in the day, it didn’t suit me; as a young person, I hated white musk and industrial laundry scents. Now I’m not crazy about it, but I don’t dislike it. I’ve loved trying it again because I never thought I’d make that connection with Un Jardin sur la Lagune. P.P.S.: It doesn’t resemble CK One at all.

  Does it sound like Hermès Un Jardin sur la Lagune to anyone? Same tone of wet, salty white flowers, same soapy aftertaste of a washing machine sparking with creation from Nagel. Gieffeffe was the Italian equivalent of those 90s unisex waters like CK One. Paco Rabanne brought out theirs, and Ferré, who was already fading in relevance, dared to follow Gieffeffe. Hey, it wasn’t bad. It’s still in production; it’s a sporty water but with a more mature packaging than the others, which leaned toward sterile, youthful cleanliness. It smelled like creamy Dove soap bars, that citrus/musky/soapy mineral vibe. It carries lots of coriander and osmanthus, the latter responsible for that velvety citrus peel aftertaste. What I keep smelling non-stop is freesia, very unfeminine, without those mass-market acidic accords, all in the white floral range. It’s unisex and feels that way, but not your typical unisex; it leans toward body care like Sanex or Dove, yet nothing a man without gender constraints couldn’t wear. A very peculiar water, strange, salty, calcareous, and buzzing at two hundred RPM, smelling of citrus-floral and skin, but zero indolic white flowers, very spicy, with movement and speed, with that little abstract touch that could be the taste of clean floss, a fresh filling, or a calcium-clogged faucet; something rare, metallic, on the verge of being annoying but very pleasant. P.S.: You either love it or hate it. Back in the day, it didn’t suit me; as a young person, I hated white musk and industrial laundry scents. Now I’m not crazy about it, but it doesn’t bother me. I’ve loved trying it again because I never thought I’d make that connection with Un Jardin sur la Lagune. P.P.S.: It doesn’t resemble CK One at all.

  It’s an EdT that’s still going strong and hasn’t been discontinued. Solid performance, fresh white floral without any indolic notes, with a metallic touch as Spartacus mentioned. Unisex, soft citrus, musky, and talc-like; very aromatic, spiced, and fresh like ice-cold water in marble fountains among jasmine and freesia. Smells like a new vanity, clean, sun-dried sheets, purity, and clear water. I first encountered it four years ago and thought it was new because it wasn’t as citrusy or green as the ones from that era; it’s more elegant than those carefree summer waters, inviting you to dress up in your best. Maybe it’s that talc-like, woody, and amber base with patchouli, or simply because it’s Italian, that gives it an elegant and natural air. Very refreshing and formal, ideal for work. The trail lasts a few hours; it’s not overwhelming, but those close by can definitely smell it; it fades to skin scent after 4-5 hours, lasting half a day, which is perfect for an EdT. A different option for spring and summer at a good price, I think it’s around €15. I love it! I wear it generously in the heat and already miss my freshies, even though they say ‘don’t take off your robe until May 40’ and we’ll see.

  It’s an EDT still in production that performs like luxury. Fresh, white floral without any indolic notes, featuring a metallic and musky touch reminiscent of freshly laundered clothes and baby powder. Imagine cold water running through jasmine and freesia; it smells like a brand-new vanity and pureness. I first encountered it four years ago and thought it was a standout launch for its lack of the typical green acidity of that era; it’s more elegant and formal than sporty summer waters, perfect for dressing up. Its woody, amber, and patchouli base gives it that sophisticated Italian vibe. Very refreshing for work, it leaves a trail for about half an hour, but those close to you will notice it; it fades to skin-level after 4-5 hours, lasting a full workday. A different option for spring and summer at a great price (around €15). I love it! I already use it on hot days, even though they say you shouldn’t take off your coat until May, we’ll see.
