I was really into niche fragrances: Maison Matine, Goldfield & Banks, Etat Libre d'Orange, you name it. But many of them felt like half an idea done hastily.
And I ran into this one. I ran into this one in an airport fragrance shop—yes, that’s how people like us, people who earn a MODEST wage, meet designer fragrances. Airport fragrance shops are horrible places to sniff new fragrances: they are loud, they smell complicated, you are tired, mostly likely sleep-deprived. But this one, on the first sniff, captured me like Donald Jumbo Trump did Maduro. I didn’t recognize the tangy scent at the time, but I did know that I’ll have plenty of time to figure it out with my new 30ml bottle of friend.
It turns out, to my pleasant surprise, that I didn’t have nearly enough time. The thing I like the most about Un Jardin sur le Nil
