A 30ml bottle of From The Garden perfume by Replica. It's so deliciously green and fresh! I am obsessed with the tomato-leaf note. OB-SESSED.

I don't even try to justify my fragrance-related splurges to myself anymore. I collect fragrances. I've collected them for years. It's not a sensible thing to spend bunches of money on, but collecting rarely is sensible.

omg I've been wanting to try that for ages. I am not a perfume/scent person, but that fresh tomato-leaf note got my attention.

Yes! It's such a distinctive scent! The tomato leaf note is fairly prominent in From The Garden; it's very green. There's a citrus-sweetness from the mandarin note, and a slight fresh-rose floral aspect from the geranium, and I think those notes give the fragrance just enough feminine-leaning prettiness to make it commercially viable for the brand. But overall it's still a more naturalistic and unisex scent than most designer fragrances. If that sounds like your speed, then there's a good chance you'll like this one. :)

Now, if you get into store and smell From The Garden and you think, "This is on the right track, but it's still too sweet and pretty; I want something like this, but even less sweet and more unisex," then I recommend trying Eau De Campagne by Sisley. (It's comparably priced, though depending on where you live you may have a tough time finding somewhere to try it in store.)

If you ever have any fragrance questions you can come here and ask and I'll do my best to answer if I'm around. Though of course scent is hella subjective so always take another person's descriptions with a hefty pinch of salt. :)
