Thanks for your response! Sorry to hear about your postal spillage. Most annoying. I bet you’ll like the parfum, as you and I seem to have similar perfume tastes. It’s always a dilemma for me whether to go for the stronger concentrations – with Tabac Blond there is no question that Parfum is superior – Jicky is great in EdT, so Parfum isn’t necessarily the best – Bandit and Fracas are quite different in Parfum, and it depends whether you want a brashness and a sparkle, or creamy, skanky, depth. I could go for both! Anyway – after a bit more sampling, I’ll be sure to find the right one!

You know, I haven’t tried the parfum. I ordered a bottle of it once, and when it arrived the glass stopped was broken, so I sent it back (dang it!). Your description makes it sound so appealing, though.

Hi Angela – I realise this is a delayed response to this old article of yours…..if yo happen to see this comment, I’d appreciate yoru opinion! What is your take on Bandit in Parfum? I’ve tried the EdP and like it very much – but I’ve held-off buying it until trying the Parfum. WHich is, of course, more expensive (although, it comes in a more affordbale 7ml too). Anyway – I tried the Parfum, and liked it very much – it was deeper and richer, less brashness but more of the skank! I’m thinking of getting it. Would be interested in what you have to say about the different concentrations?

L, I’m guessing that there may have been more than one fragrance named Le Jardin back in the day. You might have luck finding it on http://www.basenotes.net. Just go the “fragrance directory” part of the website and type in the name, and the search engine will give you names of perfumes that include Le Jardin. Sometimes they have a picture of the bottle, too, and that might be helpful. Good luck!

MINE IS NOT A COMMENT BUT A QUESTION. I AM AN OLD TIMER AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A FRAGRANCE NAMED LE JARDIN EVERYWHERE. CAN’T SEEM TO FIND IT. I DON’T KNOW IF ANYONE REMEMBERS THIS FRAGRANCE THAT CAME IN A BOTTLE THAT WAS SORT OF FLAT WITH A WHITE CAP AND SOME SORT OF DESIGN ON IT. I JUST LOVE THE FRAGRANCE AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT IN MY POSSESIOIN ONCE AGAIN.

Luckyscent has a 30ml for $42, which is only a teeny bit more expensive per ml than the $130 100ml bottle. I’m SNAGGIN’ it, baby. (Oh. And will then have to explain to husband why I need more perfume than the big bottle of Rose d’Ete which is supposed to be my anniversary/Mother’s Day present… He picked out a new softball bat for himself for ann/FD.)

Once a year Kevin does the top ten for the season (I love his posts)–or, feel free to try any of these! I think Bandit and Champaca are especially good on men.
