Launched in 2020 by Parle Moi de Parfum, Gardens of India is a composition that immediately immerses you in the warmth and richness of Indian temple gardens. Perfumer Michel Almairac opens this fragrance with cardamom, which introduces an almost spicy warmth reminiscent of sun-drenched pathways. The heart unfolds into a lush embrace of tuberose and jasmine, creating an intoxicating blend that is both ethereal and deeply sensual. The base notes of sandalwood and vanilla provide a creamy, woody foundation that lingers like silk on the skin, making this fragrance feel like a secret whispered rather than announced.

How It Wears
A Oriental Floral Fragrance
Indian Tuberose
Indian tuberose, with origins in South Asia, is celebrated for its rich, creamy scent that hints at jasmine and orange blossom. Its fragrance is intense yet delicate, often described as the heart of the floral garden, where it thrives under the sun’s warm embrace.
Indian Jasmine
Indian Jasmine, with its heady, honeyed aroma, blooms at the intersection of lush white florals and subtle green undertones. Native to South Asia, it carries a bouquet reminiscent of gardenias and tuberoses but with a distinctive, slightly spicy edge that sets it apart in the floral pantheon.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood, sourced from the heartwood of trees native to India and Indonesia, carries a rich, creamy aroma that is both smooth and slightly sweet. Its scent is often described as warm and woody, with a powdery undertone that adds depth and complexity to any composition.
Application Tips
Given its moderate longevity and sillage, Gardens of India is best applied liberally to pulse points. The opening cardamom note fades within an hour, but the base notes of sandalwood and vanilla continue to evolve throughout the day, making it perfect for daytime wear where warmth and intimacy are key.
