Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Love is coming... Chapter II: A Realistic Garden Study”
The opening of Love is coming... Chapter II is an immediate, high-definition plunge into a garden. Mathieu Nardin has crafted a tomato leaf note that is startlingly authentic, accompanied by the sharp, crisp bite of green bell pepper. There is no pretense of sweetness here; it is pure, vegetal, and bracingly fresh. It feels like standing in a greenhouse with the morning sprinklers still running, a cooling sensation that cuts through the heat of mid-July.
As the fragrance enters its heart, the sharp edges of the greenery begin to relax. The damask rose appears, but it is not the deep, heavy, or jammy rose found in winter orientals. This rose is pale, watery, and light, acting more as a softening agent for the stems and leaves than a star player. Lavender and geranium join this floral transition, providing a clean, soapy background that keeps the fragrance feeling tidy and approachable as it warms on the skin.
On the skin, the accord behavior is fascinating. The initial blast of black currant and tomato leaf remains surprisingly tenacious for a green scent, clinging to the pulse points for the first two hours. As it transitions to the base, the amberwood and sandalwood emerge. These base notes are handled with restraint, serving to anchor the lighter top notes without introducing a heavy, synthetic, or headache-inducing weight. It stays consistent and does not turn muddy as the day progresses.
Performance is reliable for a composition of this style. You will get five to six hours of moderate wear, with projection that stays within an arm's reach. It is a polite sillage that creates a pleasant, natural aura rather than a massive cloud. In terms of wear context, this fragrance is built for the sun. It flourishes in humidity and high heat, where the aromatic green notes can expand and breathe, whereas it might feel somewhat thin or lost in the crisp, dry air of an autumn day.
This fragrance suits anyone who loves nature-focused, non-gourmand profiles. It is remarkably unisex, though those who shy away from floral nuances might find the damask rose heart a bit too present for their taste. It is an excellent choice for a daily-wear professional scent or a weekend companion during the warmer months.
In verdict, I highly recommend sampling this if you are a fan of green scents. It is a beautiful, modern take on the genre that avoids cloying sweetness. While not a blind-buy candidate due to its distinct vegetal profile, it is a rewarding, refreshing addition for anyone looking to step out of the heavy-fragrance comfort zone.
FAQs
What does Love is coming... Chapter II smell like?+
It smells like a freshly crushed vegetable garden in the heat of summer. The opening hits with realistic tomato leaf and green bell pepper, while the heart features a soft damask rose. It is primarily aromatic and green, avoiding heavy sweetness, making it a crisp and natural choice for warm weather.
Does the scent change much from opening to dry-down?+
Yes, the opening is intensely green and vegetal, dominated by tomato leaf and black currant. As it dries down, the green edges soften significantly as the damask rose and lavender notes take the stage, eventually settling into a woody musk base that feels clean and rounded rather than sharp.
How long does this fragrance typically last on skin?+
Longevity is moderate for most users, typically providing five to six hours of wear. While it is not a heavy, all-day powerhouse, it performs well during the spring and summer months when you want something refreshing that does not become overwhelming or cloying in high heat.
Is the sillage strong or intimate?+
The projection is generally moderate, sitting comfortably within arm's length. It creates a pleasant aura around the wearer without filling a room, making it an excellent choice for office environments or casual social gatherings where you want a noticeable but polite fragrance presence.
When is the best season to wear this fragrance?+
This is a quintessential spring and summer fragrance. The bright, cooling notes of tomato leaf and geranium thrive in warmer temperatures. The green, aromatic profile can feel a bit thin in the deep cold of winter, so it is best kept for when the sun is out.
Is this fragrance suitable for a professional office setting?+
Absolutely. Because of its clean, green, and non-overpowering nature, it is well-suited for professional environments. The soft floral heart of rose and lavender keeps it professional and fresh, ensuring you smell polished without disrupting those sharing your workspace.
Does it lean more masculine or feminine?+
It is a true unisex fragrance. While some users detect a cleaner, more floral lean due to the damask rose, the prominent tomato leaf and green bell pepper notes provide an earthy, vegetal backbone that many men enjoy wearing. It depends entirely on your personal comfort with floral accents.
Is this a good blind buy?+
No, it is not recommended as a blind buy. The green, vegetal note of tomato leaf is highly realistic and can be polarizing for those who prefer traditional woody or sweet scents. Always sample it on your skin first to see how the green notes behave with your body chemistry.
How does it compare to DS & Durga's Coriander?+
Many enthusiasts compare it to DS & Durga's Coriander because both share that zingy, fresh, and highly aromatic summer essence. If you enjoy the way that fragrance captures a bright, green, and outdoorsy character, you will likely appreciate the realistic, garden-inspired approach taken by The Different Company here.
Can I layer this with other perfumes?+
Yes, this works well for layering. It is a great way to add a crisp, green, and earthy base to sweeter floral or citrus perfumes you already own. Start with a light spray of this to provide a fresh, herbal counterpoint to your more fruit-heavy scents.
