Jardin Clos is an aqueous fruity floral. I found it uninteresting and very un-Diptyque-ish, if that makes any sense.

WIll definitely get a sample now before buying. What made it so objectionable? The description of it on the Aedes site sounds beautiful (except for the pear which I'm not sure about). But we all know fragrance descriptions can easily and often miselad. I am intensely curious about Do Son. To be honest, I find Diptyque's Tubereuse sorely lacking on many levels as far as tuberose scents go - it is dusty and androgynous, almost bitter - it really surprises me that it is their most popular. In terms of candles I much prefer Fresh's Tuberosa, though it is far more pungent than Diptyque's and I can see some people not liking it at all. I am a sucker for Diptyque's packaging though, so I'm hoping to love Do Son... I also wonder what that name means. Yikes, I almost ordered Jardin Clos unsniffed recently!!

If its a foody vanilla, I probably won't like it. I was given a bottle of Curious as a gift. Surprisingly, I don't hate it (I like magnolia scents). However it is a bit girly sweet for my taste. The bottle for Fantasy looks much cuter though! Haven't seen a peep about Fantasy yet. If its a foody vanilla, I probably won't like it. I was given a bottle of Curious as a gift.

I heard that the fragrance resembles Brit, however, and this bit of news doesn't thrill me. I agree–I definitely prefer this bottle over the Curious bottle.
