From the Garden Maison Martin Margiela for women and men

This Perfume makes me feel like a bug in a summer garden, sipping on some dew, very nice and summery

mcdonald’s lettuce.

So green and earthy! Very realistic tomato smell. Does anyone else also smell mint after a while??

Smells like picking fresh tomatoes. Hints of sweet citrus as well. I really like this perfume, but be aware that it is an unconventional scent. Not everyone is going to enjoy this one. It’s almost a little “sticky” smelling, but it’s a comforting, sweet scent.

Opening is a very fresh citrus, I don’t smell the tomato leaves at all but there is a leafy scent. Not a fan on me but it’s not bad

I'm relatively new to fragrance and this was the first scent I really fell in love with. It smells exactly as advertised, like a summer garden, and it is divine. Beatifully green and earthy, my only wish is that it was even earthier. When I have this on I am constantly smelling myself; I want the scent permanently etched into my nose.

Love this. It’s fun! Love it.

this is the worst fragrance of all time only buy this if ur tryna smell like booty

Opening is very nice, very juicy, dry down is just nauseating with all the florals.

I bought this with my boyfriend at Sephora as a sort of blind bag try… I will preface this and say that this perfume is definitely not for everyone, it is a unisex perfume that veers towards a playful teasing taste. It is very fresh, the opening smells exactly like picking cherry tomatoes right off the plant. It is an extremely ripe and fruity tomato smell that best describes cherry or cherub tomatoes. I don’t really pick up on the other scents listed, but I will say that the sweetness of the tomato scent lingers for a good while (about 2 hours for me, but I live in a warmer and much more humid climate) and then turns into a softer fresh scent that reminds me of a summer garden (less fruity, more herbal/green leaning). It is a lovely scent, but it isn’t for those who want to lean more masculinely, as the geranium notes are overpowered by the tomato scent. This would work if you wanted to layer this with scents that have fruity notes (to those who may want a more feminine combination) or even colognes that have a stronger geranium or sea salt scent (to those who lean to masculine scents).

I just wish replica made smaller sizes, the bottle is too large to tout around and the longevity can differ based on the day.

You ever smell something that brings you back to childhood or youth? I know we all have. That's basically this fragrance. Imagine your younger self playing in your parents' garden, getting dirt, roots, leaves, flowers, and tomatoes all in your clothes. Honestly wouldn't wear this fragrance but it's a cool smell, I appreciated what it reminded me of. Some fragrances are better to experience the smell rather than to wear it.

Opening is very sharp citrus that was a little headache inducing for me. Once it settled down, it is a very fresh green, herbal, tomato leaf in the sun. It is earthy, and more savory than sweet or floral. It is refreshing and invigorating, and the smell is overall pleasant if not really what I want to smell like. This is one that I might wear for a walk outside in the spring if I didn't want something overpowering. I don’t like it enough to buy a full bottle, but if you are into the more savory herbal type fragrances definitely sample it and give it a try.

i have nightmares about this fragrance

Yeah so it smells like a garden alright lol. Only thing I get out of this is the tomato leaf and it is STRONG. Not even really sure what else to say about it, I feel like this is gonna be really hit or miss depending of whether or not you like that. Personally while it’s a little nostalgic I’m not really sure I like the idea of smelling like a vegetable garden. Ig props where it’s due this is probably the most experimental the Replica line has ever gone

I've been looking for a good and realistic tomato leaf fragrance and I think this might be it. I don't really smell the other notes listed (mandarin, geranium, patchouli) and strangely, the blackcurrant / cassis note that I keep detecting is not listed in the notes. The balance of tomato leaf vs cassis varies significantly depending on ambient temperature. When the weather is cooler, I love this fragrance, as the tomato leaf with its freshness and slight bitterness shines, with sweetness from blackcurrant supporting it in the background. However, when I wore it on a warmer spring day, sweet blackcurrant completely overwhelms the tomato leaf to the point that it just smells like blackcurrant body spray, kind of like Henry Rose's Blonde Barry. That level of sweetness is just a no for me.

Noting that this was released in the fall when it's cooler rather than in the spring or summer which seems to make more sense given the gardens it's supposed to evoke, I wonder if the fall release was intentional to ensure that the tomato leaf note actually can be detected. I do like the scent of this fragrance in cooler weather, so perhaps counterintuitively, this will be reserved for those fall, winter, and early spring days when I'm yearning for a lush vegetable garden and it's not possible to do so yet. On warmer days, I'll stick to tea scents like Miller Harris' tea tonique.

For reference, other tomato leaf fragrance I've tried are Miller Harris' la feuille and the newly released Celadon. La feuille was too bitter for me and Celadon does not smell like tomato leaf to me.

Love how people presume that because they don't want to smell like garden earth or bitter foliage the rest of us don't want to either ❎

This is an absolutely GORGEOUS perfume. It smells like summer in Sicily! In fact, it is what I imagine Apollonia in the Godfather smelled of.

Luscious tomato leaf with decadent notes of patchouli. A little hint of musk, but still perfectly balanced - floral but not too sweet, with savoury notes. I was mesmerised from the first sniff and bought it on the very spot, I am completely obsessed with it. As it develops you get complex notes of pineapple, vanilla, hazelnuts, pears it's like a delicious Sauterne!

I am so surprised by the negative reviews - to describe it as 'wet vegetable patch' and 'muddy' is absurd. I do see the similarity with Olaplex Number 8, but certainly not in a bad way!

Smells so much like Olaplex hair shampoo and conditioner to me.

It’s a very unique earthy scent with that characteristic tomato smell, but it is not something you want to smell on yourself. You smell like a wet vegetable patch.

I initially really loved this scent. Bought the size up from the travel size. Now I don’t know what it is but I can’t stand this perfume. I no longer smell that fresh, herbaceous, citrusy, tomato scent I initially fell in love with. Now, it’s just a muddy, dirty, patchouli (not in a good way)….lol reminds me of dirty clothes that you’ve worn for 4 days in a row. Longevity is crazy good though. Definitely a spring scent, leans mostly towards being a unisex, maybe slightly more masculine? Will be giving this another go in a few months to see if anything’s changed.

Very much more a scent experience vs perfume. I grow tomatoes every summer and initially does smell similar. Luckily turns more sweet with mandarin and mild geranium. Could be a good layering scent too. Very non offencive and natural, gardening vibes.

Photorealistic tomato leaf is the first hit, and then something basil-y comes through shortly afterwards. Settles into a powdery patchouli scent after a few hours. Orange note is watery and pretty much dwarfed by the botanical presence, but it's a pleasing background player nonetheless. There's something almost medicinally bitter about the tomato leaf during the initial phase that I'm still undecided on. It makes a bold statement, but could use some tempering. I don't think this is something I'd ever wear indoors, but maybe as a nervy reach for a summertime outing.

[MAY 2024]
Welcome to 2024, where the smell of a garden is an amusingly contentious thing. Someone knowledgeable of life from near a hundred years, or perhaps a countrygoer, might be hollering at the idea that contemporary city dwellers find a garden smell a shocking thing.

Having tried Demeter's Tomato I'm surprised to say this is a step up in that Margiela's From A Garden does not have that artificial sharpness that Demeter has and From The Garden smells well-blended and natural although still tart and somewhat musky.

If you really want something that smells like lawn grass and meadows, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz's line of green florals has you covered. Margiela really, however, smells like a dewy tomato garden from the city botancials. What does Tomato Leaf smell like? Tart, green, musky, juicy, herbal like oregano or parsley in your kitchen (which you can smell if you're lacking a tomato nearby.) But don't mistake this for a mere soliflore, you can smell a hint of green sap, dews, and some earth.

What good is Margiela's From The Garden then, if not for citygoers?
A: A layering perfume.

If you haven't tried *layering* a fragrance yet, I highly recommend applying From The Garden with a floral of your choice. I personally wished a fragrance like From The Gardens existed when I was on a floral kick.
Now I can genuinely recommend From The Gardens as a layering fragrance with a floral of your choice...

INCLUDING:
- Aerin Honeysuckle Mimosa
- Le Labo Lys 41
- Woods Of Windsor Lily Of The Valley
- Diptyque Olene (jasmine)
- Diptyque Do Son (tuberose)
- Diptyque Ofresia (wildflower)
- Byredo Flowerhead
- Byredo La Tulipe
- Creed Fleurissimo
- Jo Malone Bluebells
- Matiere Premiere French Flower
- Bon Parfumeur Yuzu-Violets
- Elizabeth Arden True Love (powdery rose)

And other florals that you think would go well with Margiela's From The Gardens.
Combined, a wonderful-- if one affords to combine with more niche selections, even magical-- florist's fridge/flower show/spring bouquet atmosphere. For more diehard fans of spring: an offering from Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, or MDCI's Un Coeur En Mai (they are pricey).

I would never have bought this if I saw it in a store. I would have walked away quickly. I saw "garden" and my hand reached out. Fortunately I made this blunder only with a mini bottle. I think I first saw this before I bought Diptyque's Geranium Odorata sometime last year. That's a glorious geranium scent, the one you should buy if you want geranium, especially the kind the smells like both geranium flowers and the leaves. (Lanvin's Spanish Geranium was far better that even Diptyque's, but that hasn't been made since at least the 1970's.)

Maison Martin Margiela's little offering here is just weird. Like other reviewers, I'm not impressed by tomato leaf scent. I had no idea before it arrived (around maybe 2005?) that the general public was clamoring for it either. And unfortunately there isn't enough patchouli in this concoction to at least make a geranium bomb out of it.

Beyond all that, From The Garden is a waste of a good perfume name.

This to me smells soooooo much like diptyque l’ombre dans L’eau. All I get is cassis leaf? Buds? Is it just me??

I like the open, it's green and a little fruit-sweet and very "garden" (love that), but the dry down is basically like you fell into a geranium bush, got up, and now have this faint, fading geranium scent on you for an hour or so. Luckily I actually love the scent of geranium plants so it works for me. I only wish there was a touch more sweetness in there somewhere, maybe some apple or tomato (fruit).
Longevity is 1-2 hours on my skin.
Edit: longevity is way better on me now than when I first got it. It also has a touch more sweetness than I remember. Guess it needed a few weeks to macerate?

I’ve sampled everything from this house and this is one of a few that really nailed the name of the fragrance. By the fireplace…. It smells like your by a fireplace! Some people may not like that, and believe me I know many people who don’t like that, but I personally LOVE the way my camping gear smells when I get ready for the next trip and can still smell remnants of the campfire scent left behind from the last trip I took. It’s just pleasant to me. Well this one is very similar. Not scent wise but the name itself of the scent. From The Garden… smells like a garden! It’s fresh, earthy, juicy, etc. which again, some may not find pleasant, but I personally think that smells incredibly pleasant! Kind of in the same vibe as Un Jardin Sir La Nil. Very green and earthy. Different fragrances altogether but both very realistic.

Overall, lovely fragrance. I personally really enjoy it! Full bottle worthy?…. Not sure yet. I bought a travel size because I really loved it on a tester strip, then had to try it on skin, then had to buy at least a little bit! Just don’t know if it’s worth it to own 100mls of this yet at the price point. It doesn’t last too terribly long, and not too wearable. Kind of a personal fragrance imo. I can see wearing this around my house doing yard work and whatnot just because I do really enjoy it a lot. Just don’t really see myself feeling sexy on a date night wearing this. Great offering though from the house!

Why would people want to smell like tomato leaves?
Not for me.

smells exactly what biting into a raw tomato 15th-century-Florence style tastes like. unfortunately, instead of translating as crisp, refreshing, and juicy in fragrance form, it just comes off as swimming in tomato juice for two hours straight and then refusing to wash up. INSANELY salty and i think PLSmells said it best calling this "Eau de Ragu".

Bright, wet tomato leaves and firm green tomato skin with a splash of citrus. I like how everything I’m smelling here is multidimensional— it’s not just tomato leaves, it’s leaves and dirt and unripe green tomatoes. It’s not just mandarin, it’s fresh squeezed orange juice and neroli blossoms and bitter zest. The patchouli doesn’t stand out at first honestly because it’s much more mellow than the sharp green notes… but it does come through later as a creamy, earthy bergamot and patchouli sort of scent as it dries down. It turns slightly clean and floral at that point on my skin, like white flowers but still retains the green and fresh quality somewhat. This is a beast for such delicate, fresh notes. Lasts all day on my skin and transforms beautifully.

I was dying to try this one as soon as it came out, finally got around to smelling it at Sephora and bought it IMMEDIATELY. It’s just too perfect for spring and summer, and tomato leaf is such a hard note to capture well. And trust me, they did it justice! I have always grown tomatoes so I’m very familiar with the smell.

If you want to evoke a clean-yet-earthy, hippie garden witch/refined stoner vibe, this is it. I would disregard the negative reviews if you know you like photorealistic green scents and want to smell like a garden. As with all of Margiela’s perfume offerings, it’s a niche scent and not for everyone. I’m also a huge fan of Lazy Sunday Morning, By the Fireplace, Jazz Club, Sailing Day, and Beach Walk, for reference so maybe I just can’t miss with this house. You won’t regret trying From the Garden, it’s a gorgeous green perfume that would suit any age and gender but especially a free-spirited person who loves nature.

I’m not a big fan of the Replica range in general - they are more ‘scents’ rather than perfumes - linear, non dimensional and get boring very quickly. This one, however, is one of the better ones. Very green, with tomato leaf summer greenhouse roughness and brightness & some sweetness from the mandarin. Could be lovely on a warm day.

The tomato leaf in this is the perfect dosage, in my opinion. I normally dislike patchouli as a base note but it is very soft in this one, giving the impression of damp earth or soil. And the geranium and citrus provide a bit of sweetness and a light floral touch. The best price for a 100 ml is on Parfum Dreams. I already own Cassis en Feuille by Miller Harris which is a bit more sharp since it has cassis leaf as well, but I prefer From the Garden. There are also similarities to Diptyque’s Venise but that one was too soapy for me with the rose in the background.
I like rotating all my Replica perfumes seasonally. From the Garden is perfect for Summer, while Tea Escape is ideal for Spring. Autumn Vibes is obviously suitable for Fall, and Whispers in the Library or By the Fireplace are best for Winter.

This isn't as strong on the tomato leaf scent as I was initially leaf to believe. I was hoping for a realistic scent of fresh crushed tomato leafs held right up to my nose. However, it's a lovely culmination tomato plant amongst the aroma of other garden greenery just from a few feet away. It is a very fresh and green scent with a subtle hint of tomato slices and leafs and a floral background. It does make me feel like I am near a garden. I'd recommend this perfume if you like subtle nature inspired scents.

A tomato leaf to outperform all others I’ve tried! Really, the sillage is excellent. Longevity is good. Sweeter and fruitier than others of the genre (and much more than I typically prefer) — mandarin rules the drydown — but I understand that this is necessary. A large brand like MMM must keep it as mass-marketable as possible. I’m several fragrances deep into the hunt for my perfect tomato leaf, and while this one does not fit the bill, it stands tall amongst its peers.

I grew up having a big garden with lots of different plants, and a big greenhouse full of tomato plants. This is it! It really smells like tomato plants, and I'm here for it! I wouldn't want to wear it every day, but I can see myself enjoying this in summer, when I am in a "green mood", spending time in nature, gardening, maybe going for a nice walk.

As someone who has a tomato plant, this perfume smells exactly like crushing up the tomatoes and leaves, which makes an earthy and bitter smell, familiar to this fragrance. To recreate this fragrance for cheap, crush up a tomato and rub it on your neck. I’m not all about it personally, I can nearly guarantee anyone who loves gardening and plant lovers would be delighted to be gifted this fragrance, but for others not as much.

Been there, done that. People gushing about the tomato leaf probably are new to the game. This is an unapologetic copy of Diptyque's classic green-sour L'Eau dans l'Ombre.

When I first heard about this scent, I was so fascinated by it. The tomato leaf note is so unusual I had to see how it would work on my skin!

I finally wore it today and as much as I like a lot of scents from the replica line, this didn't feel special. The tomato note comes out very strongly and demands the scent as a whole, making it wholly difficult to associate wearing this scent with any specific occasion in mind. It does its job at being a pleasant earthy smell, but it doesn't feel exciting or appropriate for wear as a whole.

I appreciate the creativity of creating such a unique concept in a scent, but it seems it'll probably only cater to an audience appreciative of its overly niche nature.

Oho! This is my first brush with tomato leaf, and I like it. I'm glad the geranium is there to keep the 'perfume' vibe, though. I don't know how mass-appealing this would be if it veered too heavily into photorealistic territory. But I do get the sense of freshy sliced tomatoes, and in the dry down I guess it's the patchouli giving a dirt/dry earth accord.

Going to spring for a sample first, but this might end up in my collection. It's something a bit different from the zillion citrus freshies on the market (no hate, that's my favourite scent category lol) but still fulfils a similar role. Another great unisex frag that I feel doesn't tilt either direction, it sits right in the middle so literally anyone could pull it off.

ETA: since I'm seeing some people mention poor longevity I'll add that it lasted about 3 hours on me before considerably fading (gone by the 5 hour mark). Which isn't awful considering, as I said above, this is basically a citrus freshie (with a twist). So I guess YMMV with longevity.

One of my favorites I have in my collection. I like pairing this with a black tea perfume. It really ups the green scent on my skin! I do wish the tomato lasted slightly longer though. Replica perfumes do agree with me but for the price they really should last longer. 100% a spring scent!

So this scent is rather linear after the citrusy top notes disappear.
And this is going to sound strange but what's left smells like the opening of Nudiflorum from Nasomatto.
To me it doesn't smell like tomato leaf a slightest bit. But... acidic, rubbery, green and leathery.
There is something about it that feels artificial.

Wow, I'm in love! A pretty unique scent from Replica. Got a sample and didn't expect to love it but when I sprayed it, it was instant joy. The tomato leaf is so bright and the mandarin and geranium appear slowly in the dry down. I've become a bit bored of traditional summer scents that are super floral/ fresh or lean into the beach/ coconut vibes, so this is perfect. I've smelled other herby vegetable fragrances but nothing this green and pure tomato leaf, the others all have some strong floral or fruity element. If I burn through my sample I will consider getting a bottle!

Amazingly realistic tomato leaf fragrance boosted by that geranium note. Smells great but sits close to the skin and unfortunately longevity is virtually non existent, I could barely smell it 2 hours later and that’s the issue when spending AUD225 on a perfume which is so fleeting.Its great while it lasts but it’s a no from me. Shame they don’t have an EDP strength and performance.

Maison Margiela has some hits and misses from my experience with their fragrances throughout the years.

For me personally, From the Garden is more of a miss! This is a very good perfume but for a very limited amount of people, with a very particular taste in perfumes, it’s far from being anything close to a crowd pleaser.

Full transparency, I am more of a sweet, gourmand, amber, warm scents lover. Which is exactly the opposite of what From the Garden is. This is a very green, fresh, aromatic, green pepper/tomato leaves combo with spicy patchouli and geranium leaves, rather than the flower itself. If there’s any mandarin in it, I can’t pick it up.

I wished I would like this when I heard it’s about to be released, it is making me think of being in a garden surrounded by vegetables and plants leaves or doing some gardening but after testing it from a sample, I know that I definitely don’t want to smell like this. Not my style of perfume.

Performance is on par with most of Maison Margiela scents. Not very long lasting and not projecting too much. Moderate.

Might be other people’s cup of tea but it’s not mine! And it’s definitely the most unique perfume from Maison Margiela collection!

I adore the source of inspiration for this, Puglia in the South of Italy, but not so much the result of Oliver Cresp’s creation inspired by Puglia.

Definitely unisex, and definitely smells like you've been gardening all day.
It's not bad but I definitely am not inclined to purchase a bottle - however, admittedly I am always drawn to sweet, sugary gourmands and less so to herbal or green fragrances so this was never bound to be a favourite of mine.
The tomato leaves are strong in the opening, and settle down as the fragrance also settles. The mandarin is lovely and adds a touch of sweet citrus, but to me and on both my skin and testers it does just smell like Italian food.
The projection and longevity is decent on it, it won't fill a room but within an arm's length people will be able to smell it.
Overall, it gets points for being unique but as a consequence of that it's probably a more polarising fragrance.

Save yourself some money and go buy Herbae by L'Occitane!

Tomato leaves period

This is not for everyone, but I love it. If you're the type of person who goes outside after it rains and says "Wow it smells so good" or if you have ever wanted to smell like the toppings of a Margherita pizza this is for you. I sprayed this and then went outside to smell my tomato plant and it was literally identical. This is a niche fragrance so I see why many do not like it.

Doesn't work for me. The citrus in this is really sharp and I don't like the tomato note. Smells like dish soap.

This is something I'd love to have but probably won't wear as much. I love green aromatic scents . They are usually the most unique fragrances out there .
This one at the top you get that green leaf that quickly starts giving off the tomato notes. It's really interesting. It's very vibrant but doesn't get too intense . The orange note sits behind it and is noticeable. Geranium then comes in pretty strong. Once it dries down you smell everything but the tomato leaf does die down a bit . The patchouli isn't that strong because of the geranium and slight vibrancy of the left over top notes . I like it.

This smells totally different on the skin than on paper. I feel like the bad reviews must have tested on paper, because I am absolutely in love with it on the skin. It is a totally unique and beautiful summer scent if you're tired of overdone sunscreen, beach, solars and white florals. The opening is where I get the tomato plant but it lasts about 2 minutes, then the mandarin citrus comes in which lasts for a couple more minutes. The final dry down is about 15 minutes in and is totally addicting. I feel like I would describe it as a green, aquatic. Most aquatic scents, I would associate with that turqoise, blue colour, but this perfume smells like a delicate herb garden at a beach cottage. I picture a beautiful woman in a yellow, gingham sun dress picking herbs for a summer salad.

This perfume is like happiness in a bottle. I put it on and instantly smile. The tomato leaf scent is so vibrant and fresh. It’s very playful, but not sweet, so it remains mature. Then it settles into a beautiful bright floral on the dry down. I believe the other notes keep the geranium from getting too powdery or heady. It really does transport you to a garden. I can’t decide if this leans more spring or summer to me — the fruity notes lend to summer while the herbal and floral harken to spring, making it versatile. What I do know that it’s easily going to be my go-to fragrance in the coming months.

I got a compliment wearing this- and if you knew the person who gave it- you’d stop wearing it as I did.

It’s got an appealing idea- realistic tomato leaf- and nothing much more. However, it’s all wrapped up and delivered inside a plastic, sugar-coated, Disney princess cartoon dew drop.

@Jucmorgo that's literally the point

this is NOTHING like l'ombre dans l'eau oh my god no no no!! (⁠｡⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)

Syrupy sweet vegetal. Just like Nudiflorum from Nasomatto. I prefer Nudiflorum because it's more complex and lasts longer.
From the garden reminds me little of a garden full of tomatoes and plants.

I can definitely smell the earthy tomato vibes in the beginning but it kinda leaves a synthetic aftertaste which is definitely not my cup of tea. I won’t be adding this to my collection.

Sorry, but nothing in garden smells like that. Unless you have chemicals leakage;-) It starts with noticeable tomato leaf note, which fades in 3 min and you are left with powdery/green sweetish molecule which monotonously stays on your skin for hours. It's not comparable anyhow to Diptique, Sisley, Hermes Jardins perfumes - light, well balanced, complex fragrances, and From the garden is none of those.

This is VERY similar to Byredo Mixed emotions

This is it, the worst fragrance I’ve ever smelled. Why anyone would want to smell like tomatos, just straight tomatos, blows my mind but to each their own. This is the only fragrance to ever make me feel kinda sick, i wanted to wash it off immediately

I love tomato leaf scents, as well as sour, bitter scents. When I heard Replica had a new perfume with it, I was excited to try it. My trip to Sephora today allowed me to spray with abandon. My first mistake.

On my skin the opening is unbearable— I almost washed it off. I held off, and the scent did loose its synthetic edge but I’m left with a sweet, green powder boudoir scent…so very far from the summer garden I had hoped for.

Not a good representation of tomato leaf. I think From the Garden is a polarizing scent, proceed with caution.

I definitely smell the geranium in this. This scent also has a pink lemonade or definitely a candied lemon vibe. With the sweetness and herbs, it even reminds me of a mojito. I really adore this

Wanted to try it so badly and finally had the opportunity to wear it. The Tomato leaves definitely come through. It's earthy and warm. BUT it's so sweet. It reminds me of ripe and roasted cherry tomatoes. I didn't smell the fresh notes I hoped for. It's not heavy though. A summer's day with a lot of sun in the garden - but with some honey poured over it sadly.

I always hear people say that this smells like straight tomato (which I was hoping for tbh) but it is so faintly tomatoey, in a beautiful way. the sweetness of the tomato makes the floral pop so beautifully while still remaining cool and fresh. This perfume is like laying in a vegetable garden in the middle of august, surrounded by buzzing birds and bees and wild flowers.

Disappointment. I wanted something green, leafy and aromatic, I got an amazing tomato stem soaked in some kind of a syrup, a medicine maybe? The effect is a dense, almost fermented or maybe rotting jam with a hint of tomato. It gave me an instant travel back to my childhood when the doctors would use some oral vaccine, the same smell. I sent it back immediately.

Anyone that’s grown up around a garden with tomatoes will know this smell right away. I have always loved the smell of tomato vines and was blown away at how accurately they were able to replicate it. Instantly bought it upon first smell and it has become one of my all time favourite fragrances. Super unique, but as others have mentioned the performance is just okay. Dries down to an earthy green and floral scent which is actually quite pleasant. Very wearable in my opinion, I anticipate this performing well in hotter weather.

It smells eerily similar to jazz club even thought they don't have similar notes. I still smell it on me after sleeping with it but just the base notes, of course.

Very earthy, smells exactly like a garden and tomato leaves! It is interesting how they were able to create such an accurate representation. Just not my vibe personally, therefore the rating.

Fresh and pleasant! The crisp vegetal opening actually does remind me of slicing open a tomato or bell pepper. The memory I recall is shopping for produce at the market, but it's that image but painted with more color and sunlight. As a scent it smells very kind and gentle! As a Filipino haha bilang may ilang foreign language comments rin naman dito, yung vegetal finish nito naaalala ko pag namimili ng kamatis, bell peppers, tsaka sitaw. Sweet rin kasi 'to kaya hindi siya straight up na bagong palengkeng gulay na sinabon hahaha kasi hindi siya soapy for me! Yung sweetness binabalanse talaga siya.

It bounces on vegetal/floral/sweet in the middle before it rested on a sweet kind of springtime experience. Give it a shot! Really refreshing in how it actually smells but it's a refreshing perfume in the vast landscape of nice smelling liquids! 🥬🍅✨ It isn't for me though! Kinda looking for something with a bit more bite in a scent, but I really dig it

The initial smell is very nice with the tomato leaf being the primary part of the smell. However after the dry down I find it to be very cloying and with an almost simple syrup like note. The longevity is actually very good compares to the rest of the replica line for me, becoming a skin scent after about 8 hours. I found by layering this fragrance with a saltier fragrance you can prolong the tomato leaf note and get rid of the cloying dry down.

The rating isn't fair, imo. It's very, very pleasant.
The tomato leaf smell is brief and not that strong. It settles quickly into something slightly green, earthy and fruity.
It's not original in the sense that it hints to many perfumes I smelled before, but it smells extremely pleasant.

As a child who spent many summer vacations in the countryside, yes, it smells exactly like tomato leaves and that sweetness gives me the vibes of midsummer ripe tomatoes; it does its job of bringing back some memories. It's wearable, I'm not sure yet if I personally would like to smell like that every day, but it's a perfume that makes me feel good and makes me smile. Bonus points for creativity. Average performance, Replica style.

I was so anxious to get my nose on this scent and finally was able to a couple of days ago on a trip (yes, trip...I live in the country lol) to my "local" Sephora. To my delight, they had a bottle of this out as a tester! I wasn't 100% sure what to expect, but I was hoping that the tomato leaf would be the prominent note...and it was! At first! I picked up a travel size of this and wore it today. I really enjoyed this fragrance...HOWEVER...the tomato leaf note settled more into the background (makes sense, since it's a top note) and I was left with a fresh patchouli and mostly "sweetness". While not bad, I don't really see myself reaching for this much. I may keep it around for those random days I want something a little different. I do wish the tomato leaf lasted the entire wear of the fragrance because my favorite part of this is the opening. It smells just like a garden after the rain; filled with tomatoes and other fruits! Just like most M.M. fragrances, this one seems to fall short for me. Good, not great.

this is fun! its green, its aromatic, and its snazzy! the only issue i have with it is its overall performance, which is B tier at best. i like how it smells, and it's perfect for spring — but again, the only issue with it is how short it lasts, unless i douse myself with sprays. while it might not last long on my skin, it does last longer on my clothes. i find myself sniffing the sleeves of my turtleneck often, trying to catch a whiff of that beautiful composition of tomato leaves and mandarin.

i can see how others might find it too sweet — unfortunately, i do not have another tomato leaf-centered fragrance or generally green perfume to compare this one to, to say anything about sweetness. i do wish the tomato leaf was a tad stronger, however, but this may be my own preference for perfume oils and things with longer longevity than a MM fragrance. still, despite my torments with this fragrance, i find myself tempted to buy a full bottle, as my measly little travel size is being depleted at a rapid rate!

overall rating: 4/5 — she tomato on my leaf until i uhhhh. uhhhhh. 🐦👍 🍅

This is a reallyyyyy nice green fragrance, and one that I feel should be more mass-appealing due to the sweetness that appears shortly after the green, slightly spiced vegetal opening. I fell in love with the opening because green scents are right up my alley, but don't mind the sweetness because sometimes... we just need more palatable scents in our scent wardrobe lol. Not everything has to be unique, challenging or complex.

The image that I have in my head is of a vegetable and fruit garden, with mostly green leaves. Some of the veggies and fruits have grown to maturity, giving the slight image of some sweetness, while most are still in its infancy and are still either green or pale, giving the somewhat earthy, vegetal and slight spiced backbone.

That's From The Garden to me.

P.S. This does not smell like cigarette smoke at all like what @Jadelynn. I was a smoker for 9 years. I would know. Lol

Sweet notes usually not my cup of tea, but for this one is still ok, probably because it's mixed with some green notes and aromatic too which are my preferred notes.

The tomato leaf yes it's the heart of it goes through the half way of the smells, the sweet one creeping in and become quite prominent in my skin but still bearable for me as in growing together with the patchouli. I get a bit hint of citrus on the initial spray but just as an accent and not lasting too long, i think it's only to convey an initial freshness of a garden. The hint of floral in my skin appears in mixed with the patchouli after the sweet notes becomes softer and calm, not that much noticable though which i thinknits nice abd more stable and balanced for the journey of the smell.

All in all, i can say it's kinda cute, won't be my go to for sure, maybe just for once in a blue moon when im feeling cute or something to layer with something sweet.

It does what it's supposed to do: replicate the smell of a vegetable garden. A few people have lamented the slight sweetness, thinking it undermined the garden vibe. But the perfumer wanted to make it wearable, because wearing a vegetable garden can be perceived as a bit challenging. She did a good job of making it wearable while not destroying the vegetable garden replication. Similar to Un Jardin Sur le Nil, of which I have a bottle. Properly vegetal. Performance isn't great.

sadly i only had this for 10 mins before it got stolen BUT super fresh, savory, and a beautiful fresh green scent. this smells exactly like a tomato vine with a hint of patchouli and maybe even some lavendar (?). I really love this and would reccomend it to anyone who loves fresh, spicy, aromatic green scents <3

Green, vegetal, herbal, citrus, mildly sweet… and a formidable addition to the Replica line. The first scent since ‘Lipstick On’ that has really emulated Replica’s idea of scent memory.

The first reference that comes to mind is Diptyque’s L’ombre dans Leau without the rose with added herbal touches.

It’s clearly a seasonal scent for spring/summer. Longevity is moderate, with a type of dry down that results from a green, garden variety. The dry down is almost dirty. Damp, Soil-like.

While it’s a pleasant, fun wear- I’ll be satosfied with the 30ml bottle. It’s a very specific scent intended for specific ways.

I’d been wanting to try one of the Replica scents for a while, but up till now, none of them had really spoken to me. And then From the Garden popped up at Sephora.

I was really excited to try this one as I LOVE the smell of tomato vines. If they have tomatoes on the vine at the supermarket, I will literally stand there in the middle of the store, holding them to my nose and sniffing happily.

Unfortunately, this does not smell like tomato plants on me at all. When first sprayed on the tester strip, it smelled fresh, green, and a bit herb-y, although not exactly tomato-y. I figured I would go ahead and try it on my skin and oh sweet jeebus.

On my skin, this smells exactly like cigarette smoke seeped into clothing, with a hint of floral and musk. The overall effect is as if I’d just come off a smoke break and then sprayed myself down with cologne to try to mask the cigarette smell, and then failed.

And of course, as with any fragrance that one doesn’t care for, the projection on this was STRONG. I spent the next 4 hours smelling like I’d been smoking in a green house that had been marked as a designated smoking area. After several hours, I was left with a more acceptable floral, earthy dry down, but the ride just getting there was… oof.

Smells just like a freshly watered tomato garden, and personally reminds me of one my grandma used to have in her backyard. Wearing this during the winter makes me feel like I'm in the summer which makes me smile. The tomato smell is very nice but only noticeable for the first hour or so, the longevity is pretty short before it just starts to smell like water. Fantastic scent, I just wish it was stronger!

Too sweet, there is this sugar undertone, as if you had the fragrance made and added sugar syrup on top. Olivier is known for gourmands but this is too sweet, it smells more like a candied fruit rather than something from the garden, I expected something like La Feuilles from Miller Harris

Just got my sample that I’ve been so excited for and I LOVE IT.
I am a big fan of diptyque’s l’ombre dans l’eau and I was thinking about repurchasing it sometime soon but this one is really similar and even better in my opinion.
It’s really green, as if you just entered a greenhouse full of tomatoes (this specific smell of tomato plants, not the tomato itself) but the geranium and mandarin give it a great twist. Reminds me of my mum’s garden and makes me euphoric.
I absolutely love it, the performance is not bad either. Definitely going for the full bottle. Can’t wait to smell it on a hot day.

Yuck, sprayed from a Sephora tester once on my chest and instantly stank of tomatoes on the vine. Can’t say I get anything else. I tried to run away from the scent. Luckily it was so weak that all I had to do was walk across the parking lot with the wind blowing and I totally forgot about the scent by the time I got in the car.

smells exactly like vegtables and i love it

I have gone back and forth on buying a bottle of this because I already own a tomato leaf perfume oil (It's called Solanum By Adromedas Curse on Etsy its amazing go check her shop out). Where the perfume oil pulls a little sweeter due to a blackberry note, this one is cooling and a true green fragrance. It's tomato leaf note has a potent top note which is why I sprung for a bottle. The Patchouli is what stays on my skin for a day and it's more of a warming patchouli compared to some damp and dank versions. I garden myself and its truly does smell of sun kissed tomatoes and freshly tilled soil with a fresh twist of green mandarin wafting from your neighbors yard. It does not go "pizza or tomato sauce" on my skin but my chemistry tends to turn even the girliest fragrances more masculine and fresh and that is definitely what happens with this scent as well. On skin it goes warm and the patchouli & tomato leaf are the stars but the perfume keeps its fresh light scent from the mandarin and geranium on clothes for a really long time which suprised me. All in all, if you love a green scent she's a 100/10.

Someone know why it’s not available in Europe ?

It just smells like salad, and i hate salad

I received this a few days ago and I wore it all day yesterday. Here’s my thoughts:
Starts off like a fresh picked tomato, very herbal-y
Sweetens up on my skin and starts smelling like pasta sauce, (I think the patchouli reads like basil in this scent). Has absolutely no earthiness to it.
Honestly a little sickening after a while, I smell like an Italian restaurant. It’s not BAD, but I think it demands layering with a woody fragrance to make it actually smell earthy instead of aromatic. I was hoping for a true garden smell, but this doesn’t offer that on my skin. I’ll be playing around with layering this one.

Edit: layers well with Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li, gives it more of a rainy garden vibe and makes the patchouli read more like dirt than pasta sauce.

I hate most of replicas perfumes except springtime in Park that I have and flowers market that I had. I tried this one today at Sephora and instantly fell in love so I had to get a travel size to try it first see how I feel about it.
First impression it’s very similar to Dior riviera and lancome fig and agrrumes. Even though I didn’t see fig in the notes I somehow smell it. I don’t smell any tomatoes.

Does this smell like a literal salad?
Yes.
Do I love it?
Also yes.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

A bold, fresh, green scent long the lines of Eau de Campagne and L'Ima but more literal, less like a perfume, and contains an earthy element. The tomato leaf note is quite pronounced.

Starts off with a gorgeous zingy tomato leaf that reminds me of DKNY Woman. However, the sharpness of the tomato leaf wears off fairly quickly on me and dries down to a powdery blah.

I sampled this and I really like the fragrance. Its a lovely aromatic, green scent! It's unique to my nose and would be equally unique to my collection. In the drydown, there's an ever so slight woodiness and sweetness, very faint, yet present. I feel like there are more white florals or maybe some fig/fig leaf included but not listed. It opens similar to tiziana terenzi vele which is very green, plant like, but figgy. Originally, I assimed it would smell very vegetative like another scent that I cant remember right now, I think its an hermes fragrance, in a geeen bottle-- Jardin something-- anywho, the notes for FTG blend very nicely, to my surprise, and I think its a great scent for spring/summer aromatic lovers!

It really smells like a garden. I feel like this would be a very nice room spray, more so than a body perfume.

This indeed does smell like kitchen garden - I don’t find this attractive.

Absolutely love this fragrance! It outshines the entire line Replica with its unmatched performance, evolving beautifully from top to base notes. Reminds me of Sisley eau de Campagne, a delightful green and chypre blend with subtle spices.
After a few hours, it surprises me with its captivating presence, a truly beautiful and nostalgic experience. The geranium note takes me back to the '80s scents worn by the ladies in my family. "In the Garden" is a modern gem in designer fragrances, a rare find in today's market.

lovely greens, a modern take on Sisely eau de campagne

Starts off incredibly green. Like fresh cut tomatoes and stems. After about 20mins it starts to open up sweeter and slightly rosey. I wish it didn’t get as sweet as it does, but it was very nice to try out.

Just echoing what everyone has already said, it really does smell like tomato plants. Not like the fruit but the leaves and vines and the soil it grows in. A photorealistic green and vegetal scent. I cannot wait to try it out and wear it again in the springtime

It's wonderful, green and aromatic. But, it lasts less than an hour! Then it turns into a super close skin scent. Such a disappointment. Un Jardin sur le Nil is comparable but performs much better.

Way better than I thought it would be! Bright, green, fresh, and zingy. You definitely get that tomato-celery smell, but the mandarin adds a very nice and wearable sweetness that makes it all the better.

So true to life! Tomato bush then a general spicy green. Very good for girls who like masc green scents.

I love green scents. And my favourite part of the day is taking care of my hydroponic garden consists of tomatoes and herbs.

However, this scent has enormous silage almost offensive. It took me 2 washes of my hands with vanilla scented soap to get to the subtle green skin scent which I don’t mind. It is not a safe blind buy but is a very interesting experiment for sure. I may opt-in for a small bottle. And hopefully, the brand will come up with a body wash.

Super crispy and super green. I love this. First fragrance from MMM that they’ve made which hasn’t been a bust. I don’t really smell anything distinctly like tomato. I just think this smells incredibly vegetal and spicy and very fresh. It lasts a long time

This and one of those horrible Ferragamo fragrances are tied as the worst fragrance I've ever smelled, it's really unique but not in a good way. Really though it smelled like the taste of a bell pepper but in a weird and disgusting way. Do not buy this horrible fragrance the only way I could see someone wearing this is if they are an old vegan hippie woman. Strangely nostalgic smell though

this smells like sungold cherry tomatoes taste. this is the abundance of a hoop house in july. it's a juicy burst of acidic fruit, it's the petiole sap that sticks to your fingers, it's the basil and borage you've planted for companions. i bought it as soon as i smelled it.

The name is very true to the scent. The top note of the tomato leaves is much more present than the green mandarin; I'd go as far as to say I didn't smell the mandarin at all. The dry-down after half an hour smells very much like the combination of leaves from a garden, and is exactly what I hoped for from this fragrance.
The fragrance by no means is something that you'll smell regularly nor is it in my opinion, close to any mainstream fragrance. It is a very unisex fragrance and might lean a bit more feminine than male but still isn't either or to be frank.
This scent is exactly what the name makes it out to be, nothing more and nothing less; an earthy aroma coming from the tomato section of the garden. If this is the scent you're going for, then you cannot go wrong with it, it certainly isn't for everyone though.

Smells so much like a toned-down Synthetic Jungle, it's almost like MMM just wanted to create its own version of the award-winning scent. It is more in tune with the mass market than Synthetic Jungle, but still not a safe blind buy. It's very green, deeply woody, almost smokey but not a sweet smoke. It's hard to explain. But there is a fresh salad vibe that I really enjoy. This serves almost more as aromatherapy and is something I'd wear entirely for me, not giving the slightest of f***s if it offended anyone. I don't get green mandarin from this at all. I think if you like scents like Tacit or any of the greener Aesop scents or Synthetic Jungle, you'll like this.

I wanted to love it so much.
The top notes are lovely. Very fresh and green. Reminded me of freshly squeezed celeri (with apple and carrots) juice my mom used to make.
But then the geranium & patchouli feels "old lady" on my skin. The friend I was with when I tried it hated it at first, but loved it a few hours later. It's been a good 7h on me now and the base notes are still going strong.
It also gave quite the strong headache. Oh well.

I smelled this at Sephora and it’s unique and something for sure.

The tomato leaf note is ultra realistic, it’s kind of shocking how real it comes off as. This, to me, smells like what I imagine someone’s Italian grandmother’s treasured garden smells like, you smell the tomatoes and the basil and it smells very much like food while not being a gourmand, a very unique concept.

Do I want to smell like a delicious Italian herb garden? Possibly, if I’m going to go spend some time outside in the sun picking fruit/veggies in a garden. But I don’t foresee myself actually wanting to smell like this, despite how unique and ultra realistic it is. This is truly a masterpiece of a fragrance as art, because this a complete package as a fragrance. This makes me interested in what tomato leaf notes can do, especially in a fragrance that isn’t as emulative as this one.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Kind of reminds me of the Diptique Bais candle in a perfume form <3

You are wearing a freshly washed white shirt and rolling in a wet grass field knocking down wildflowers on your way down. It’s really hot and humid outside due to the heavy summer rain.

This perfume smells the way your white shirt will smell after your roll.

I don’t like it but appreciate the journey it took me on.

I smelled this briefly at Sephora's yesterday. It seemed promising, I'm going to test wear to assess full bottle worthiness. I've got a big collection of MMM Replica and will expand. This reminds me somewhat of Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil. Vegetal.

One of my new favorites, but I can definitely see how it’s not for everyone. But give it a chance, and then maybe a second chance. I hated it first sniff, and then loved it second sniff. And definitely test on skin, not paper.

My great grandma had a huge garden when I was little. In the summer, I would help her pick tomatoes, cotton, and cherries. We’d go run the cotton through the gin and wash the produce in the sink with castor soap. This smells like my hands would when we’d be finished—spicy from the tomato leaves, a little soft and creamy from washing up, and just a little bit of sweet left over from the cherries. I think the sweetness is from the germanium, but I am surprised soap isn't a listed note. Dry down is aquatic...reminds me of When the Rain Stops (also by Replica) but less sweet, more green. Like watching tornadoes on the porch. The tomato leaf mostly fades after an hour or two, but you can still smell it in the background. It's fresh, easy, wearable spring/summer in a bottle.

Some people hate on this because it's just not as vegetal as they hope. I'm a green lover too and always wanting more, but what did you expect? It's Replica. They're crowd pleasers. I personally think the tomato leaf is pretty spot on, and they incorporated vegetal notes in a very approachable way, especially with everything mainstream being so gourmand. Just keep that in mind as you sniff. If you don't typically like green smells, you might like this one. You won't smell like dirt, I promise. :-)

Update after wearing it for months:
- I get the most compliments on this perfume. My boyfriend will literally just hold my wrist and sniff when I'm wearing it. But people don't ask what perfume I'm wearing, tell me my perfume smells good, etc. They just say I smell nice. It doesn't project a ton but sticks around all day, which is my vibe. 1-2 sprays of this is perfect for students, office workers, etc. You won't give people headaches, but you'll still smell great.
- Layers great with Demeter's Tomato if you need a little more green.
- I'm allergic to many perfumes, but this one doesn't trigger any allergies.

Really interesting and unique. Opens quite spicy and green with a realistic tomato leaf note. It gets sweeter as you wear it, but maintains a deep earthiness. Longevity was pretty solid on me, and my jacket still smelled like it the next morning. I can definitely understand why this one is polarizing because it is vegetal and tomato leaf is a very unique scent, but if you like earthy and green scents I think this one is beautiful

I find this fragrance VERY off-putting. I don't think this is a safe blind buy at all unless you like extremely green notes and photo realistic tomato leaf. Smelling like fresh dirt and tomatoes doesn't appeal to me but, hey...everyone is different.

I absolutely love this perfume. The first time I smelled it I was very taken aback by the very realistic tomato, leaf, garden smell. It’s unlike any other perfume I’ve smelled. It drys down to a really green, vegetal smell but I find it very wearable and think it smells amazing.

I want you to imagine going to a home garden or a farmers market and smelling the center leaves on top of a tomato, that's the opening. The dry down is a little sweeter. My grandfather grew tomatoes, so personally, it isn't for me. It is absolutely interesting novelty though.

Fresh, vegetal, refreshing, crisp, green, soothing, calming. Luscious and cool tomato leaf, freshly trimmed verdant garden hedges. Unisex for sure but I envision a woman wearing this. White shirt, blue jeans, expensive hair cut, expensive bag sans flashy logo, she’s in her second home for the summer, the sound of a leaf blower in the distance, the faint scent of chlorine on a warm breeze, the roses in bloom, she’s chopping a salad for lunch, her nails are manicured - short nude neutrals - and she’s wearing this fragrance. The world is chaotic but her life that she’s created for herself is calm.

When the Replica line hits, it really hits. <3

I agree with the other commenters that the top is very photo-realistically green and tomato leaf. It's a bit surprising initially but honestly as a green lover I could theoretically really get behind that I think. It turns sweet though in the mid (I've had it on maybe an hour) and I really don't like how it settles. If it could just be tomato and greenery and maybe a light white floral then I'd be so sold. But the sweetness, I don't know what it is exactly, the geranium I guess? It's not good. Also, at least on my skin, I have scrubbed it 3 times and it's still lingering around so beware of that.

This smells a LOT like l'ombre dans l'eau to me. Almost like a dupe, though I haven't done a side-by-side comparison. My impression is that from the garden is sweeter, and l'ombre dans l'eau is fresher and more natural-smelling (I think I like LDL better)

wow, i’m almost impressed at how much this smells like the vegetable section of the supermarket. definitely gives tomato garden — it’s interesting for sure, but not sure how much i’d want to smell like one.

Like smelling a leafy tomato plant in the sweet country summer air. The pairings are fine, though simple; an opening haze of mandarin, a strain of soft geranium and a gentle patchouli. The fragrance develops like we're running our fingers along the plant itself. Begins tomato-ey, then more of a leaf smell becomes prominent, then more of the stem.

All this would be well and fine. The problem is Cresp overcompensates making this more palatable and mainstream by adding too much sweetness. Way too much sweetness. This is sugary by candy standards, by soda pop standards. Sugar doesn't soften this, it makes it repulsive. Bizarre; like a tomato stem milkshake.

It's a shame because the concept here is quite good. There is one flaw. And I would love to wear a non-candy version of this.

Photo realistic tomato leaf note, which lingers impressively for at least 4 hours. As it mellows, it sweetens. Then once it’s gone, there’s a subtle, conventional patchouli. I love the greenness of the tomato leaf, didn’t appreciate the sweetness or the patchouli much. Medium longevity. Definitely overpriced, but interesting.

Smells like the tomato garden that my nonno took care of during Canadian, humid summers, up until he passed away. With grass-stained clothes and some tomato seeds in your hair. What a lovely memory this triggered. Hats off to Olivier Cresp for his work on this; him, MM and L'Oréal got that scent down 100%.
I don't think I would pay full retail for it, but it's spot on for me. Very lovely ❤️

This perfume straight up smells like tomatoes

I loe the smell of tomatoes in the garden and the smell of earth, but it's almost like I am smelling something very different from everyone else on this page...where is the realistic tomato, exactly?
It smells like a sweetly perfumed soap with maybe a tiny been of greenery that comes out after the dry down. Initial spray was horrible to me personally, way too cloying.
Reminds me of some of the Sisley's perfumes (a little bit), but they are much better than this and not that sweet. I am almost annoyed at how much this perfume is not what I hoped it will be. A no from me, a quest for my perfect tomato continues.

Geranium filled duty-free shop smell.
Very citrusy sweet and mainstream.
Was expecting it to smell a bit more earthy than this, but it’s just a perfume, not a memory to me.

EDIT: after trying it again, months later, i need to correct myself. the first few seconds made me think it's too department store sweet, but it settles into a nice sweet green veil and it is a nice experience. blame it on the hormones, i don't know

I love a tomato leaf note. I can’t wait to smell it, I know it’s totally different from Pop by Stella McCartney but the tomato note is what intrigues me

Like the name states it’s def from the garden. I wouldn’t wear it personally but the nostalgic smell brought me back to helping my mom gather tomatoes and peppers from her garden on a warm summer day. Interesting!

Jardin Sur Le Nil on steroids. In your face tomato leaf and green notes. One of the truest greens I've tested. But you really need to like tomato leaf and patchouli.

It’s rare for me to fall in love with a fragrance upon first sniff. I love everything about this fragrance. The marketing photoshoot of the basket of veggies sets a gorgeous scene.

This is a green fragrance. Upon first spray, It smells heavily vegetal, like you’ve just picked the freshest veggies in your garden and made a salad. As it settles the tomato leaf leans soapy. On my skin, it smells like a clean, fresh soap. Very aldehydic, although aldehydes aren’t listed.

This is a complex, fresh, green fragrance that is utterly beautiful and clean smelling. I may be biased as this reminds me of my weekly trips to the farmers market.

Very vegetal and soapy, the tomato leaf is quite pronounced, but not as off-putting as I would expect. It would add a little extra 'oomph' to an aldehyde-forward fragrance.
Best in warm weather, very loud sillage surprisingly. We'll see how long it lasts, but it's been 2 hours and my sample is still going quite strong.

Nice, fresh, vegetal and herbaceous. Very lovely.

A reminiscent of grandma's luscious garden in the late summer, full of aromatic plants and flowers of a green and bit earthy scent profile. A little nostalgic.
The description from the brand and the memory that Oliver Cresp tried to capture in this scent are spot on.

An interesting introduction to MM collection and a nice departure from the recent releases that were on a heavier side.

Young sales assistant at Sephora walks by me today and I thought she was wearing Antidris Cassis by Maison Louis Marie. They're just identical. I was surprised when she told me it was a Margiela. Very pleasant but a copy cat.

Please keep it away from me at all costs. Dirty and weirdly minty. And I love the tomato leaf smell from my garden, but this doesn’t smell like tomato leaves at all. Maybe a fallen rotted tomato that has been half eaten by bugs next to a handful of herbs

I totally applaud replica for trying something new. And if smelling like a tomato leaf is your jam, then this will be right up your alley. I think I was looking for more of the sweetness from actual tomatoes but this definitely smells like the leaves.

I have always like the smell of tomato leaves and tomato plants in a garden. My paternal grandmother wasn't much of a gardener but she always had tomato plants she tended to religiously every spring and summer, so I always associate the scent of tomato plants with her. This fragrance is indeed leafy, herbaceous, and a little earthy, but it isn't a literal tomato plant in a pot like Demeter might make. It is slightly elevated--the difference between a store bought factory-farmed tomato and a heirloom tomato grown by a hobby farmer that showers it with love and nutrients, if you will. In candles I have liked the literal "here's a tomato plant" kind of smell, but for personal fragrance I do want it to be a little more perfumey and a little less schlocky, and I think Replica has hit that mark rather nicely.

The tomato leaf is noticeable, but the patchouli and citrus help to make it smell much more rounded and also give depth. You are walking through an idealized vegetable garden and stumble upon the tomato plant only God or Michelangelo himself could have crafted, the dew on the leaves capturing the golden dawn light, the soil moist but not wet. The feeling of seeing that gorgeous plant and having a brief connection with nature is what this scent is all about.

With the Replica line Margiela aims to paint a picture of a moment in time, refracted through the perfecting rose colored glasses of memory, and I think they are generally pretty successful. There's a somberness to some of their scents, like When the Rain Stops or even Under the Lemon trees, but From the Garden is bright and happy. Even the green juice in the bottle tells a little bit of the story. I predict that this will be a big hit for the brand, and rightly so. It is quite different from everything else in the mainstream market right now. It is weird enough to get people interested but not so out-there that it is offensive or repulsive to most noses. I think it could also be brilliant for layering since the peppery geranium and patchouli sing so much in the drydown. This is a very unisex scent and could absolutely work for anyone for any occasion. It is a Jo Malone scent with some actual oomph, some staying power, and a little cheekiness.

Overall, this is a literal breath of fresh air in the mainstream perfume world in my opinion, and I appreciate it for that alone. It didn't have to actually smell good and like something I want to wear, but it actually does, and that's a huge bonus for me. Go smell it. You'll at least want to buy the candle.

I love this so much. It smells like a dirty (soil) bouquet vegetable you just plucked from the garden. I’m obsessed. I am always looking for a soil garden type smell (think Coven) and this has a very similar vibe.

i like this a lot, pleasantly surprised that a designer has done a green non-mainstream frag, it's something encouraging. the opening smells like a combination of fig leaves + tomato leaves (it resembles the likes of green spell by eris parfums). a few min in, and i started getting something like rose water before looking at the notes online to find out it is actually geranium that's mimicking the scent of rose. in time, it became rosier and rosier and the greenery was eventually faded into the background. overall quite pleasant, something new and exciting done by a designer. the low rating is to be expected as not many people are into green/vegetal frags, but it's definitely not a safe blind buy.

I like this scent. The green mandarin is strong at the beginning, but there is some kind of flowery scent next to it, maybe lily of the valley. The tomato leaf is also strong on my skin. The drydown is sweet, slightly citrusy. There is no patchouli in it and I couldn't find geranium either. In addition to the strong green notes, it is also sweet and floral, so I can wear it even in cold weather.

I really hated this on first sniff but when I was at Sephora an employee asked me if I'd tried it and I admitted I wasn't a fan. She encouraged me to give it another try and wear it out of the store and I actually think it has a really nice dry down. I'm a gardener and this is a very realistic tomato leaf note for me but after a while sort of a creamy note. I'm not sure if I'd actually purchase it but it grew on me and is pretty unique.

I love herbal realistic garden notes. This is all tomato leaf. Opening is refreshing and bright. The dry down is soft and slightly creamy.

I love it!
Smells like a cold green smoothie at first then dry down turns to autumn leaves one of my faves!

Nice, clean, vegetal and fresh without the citrus--I don't get any of the mandarin that is supposed to be in the top notes. It feels like it will work in the winter and the summer without the usual perfume cliches. I bought the 10ml tester from Sephora but might splurge on the 100ml bottle if I can get some decent mileage out of the small spray.

Can't comment on longevity or sillage at this point as I just opened the box. :-)

UPDATE 12/10/23: longevity and silage are both good--I get about ~3 hours of decent projection and then it dwindles down to a skin scent for the remainder of its 6-7 hour life.

**I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review** The opening to this was a much more generic-clean smell than I expected-- shampoo-like, fresh, inoffensive. As it dried down the patchouli because more prominent and in tandem with the mandarin is very sweet. The tomato leaf note IS noticeable but gets a little lost in the composition. All in all this fragrance is very safe and would probably work even for those who aren't fans of green notes. I do wish this was a bit less sweet, a bit more transparent and airy.

I love many Replica scents. I was so excited to try this perfume for the tomato leaf note alone that I ended up blind-buying it, but I tried to keep my hopes down. I'm so glad I ended up getting this, because it's more complex and evocative than I expected it to be given the list of notes (sounded like obvious or blunt notes). I do find that it's true to its mission of evoking a humid garden in an authentic way, while still being wearable and not cloying (or like a room spray). Fresh and green without being too clean, diverse yet cohesive, and only vaguely floral. Many have said they don't get the tomato leaf note, but it definitely comes through on me. I'm so pleased with this. It won't be an everyday wearable thing but it will be an unusual addition to my spring smells.

I was really excited about this because I love the smell of tomato leaves. I do get the tomato leaf note, but the sickeningly sweet orange and geranium over top is too much for me. Something smells off. I was hoping it'd be more fresh instead of sweet. I'll be returning this.

Blindly bought 10 ml and and will keep it, but I am not in love. Interesting tomato leaf at the beginning (but it´s very short), it was a new smell for me. But then as someone else already wrote, unexpectedly very sweet. I expected something lighter, summery, more citrusy...

Just tested this on my wrist at the duty free. After ten minutes, it dries down to a dead ringer for Eau des Jardins from Clarins. It’s nice, but I’m getting no tomato leaf!

Update 1/29/24:

From the Garden wants what Diptyque’s Venise has. Or even Boy Smells’s Tantrum.

Gagged that it’s being described as remotely vegetal or even masculine.

***
It came to my attention that Replica dropped a new tomato leaf-scent and I was stoked since it's one of my favorite notes/accords. For reference, I'm comping it to Diptyque's L'ombre Dans L'eau (LDL) for it's "olfactory accident" of tomato leaf. (As a brand, Diptyque often notes these "olfactory accidents" as smells that arise from the combination of notes/accords without actually including them in their formula.) Anyway, I digress —

From the Garden (FtG) is so, so, so much sweeter than I expected. REPLICA touts this as smelling like "earth," but it really doesn't. The green mandarin refuses to play second fiddle to tomato leaf. It's not even reading as a citrus, but instead as a juicy, honeyed, fruity-forward note. It softens the sharp, aromatic nature of tomato leaf that I love so much and takes it into a sweeter, crowd-pleasing territory. (Given Replica's widespread distribution in Sephora and globally, I get that it can't be all sharp vegetal notes, but it really wasn't what I was expecting.) In due time, it calms down and becomes more subtle. Geranium and patchouli I can't pick apart as easily, but I feel like they supplement the greener and herbaceous notes.

I can see the comparisons to Diptyque's LDL and they aren't unfounded. Both are essentially crushed leaves sweetened with fruit. In LDL's case, it's blackcurrant leaves with blackcurrant berries (with a bit of green mandarin as well, according to Fragrantica! Gasp!) Between the two, I gotta stick with my girl LDL. It feels heartier and a little fresher than FtG which is just so saccharine to me.

Also — my review is based on skin application. But out of curiosity, I sprayed it on a blotter and it's a dead-ringer for those Flinstones Push-Up Sherbet Pops if you guys had them. What a fun memory lol. But that's a testament to how sugary it is. I probably own't purchase a full-bottle, but will continue to appreciate this 10ML vial for what it is.

public service announcement, tomato leaf and an actual tomato are two very different scents. even if they weren’t, un jardin sur de nil is incorporates both tomato and carrot notes and is beautiful. it can still be a good scent. let’s not negatively review a fragrance we’ve never tried, just because the notes aren’t vanilla and orange blossom. perfume doesn’t have to be a baccarat rouge or delina rip off to be good. wait until it’s released.

The trolls are already here. Guess these trolls are niche snobs or those who can’t afford anything above $50.

I wonder if its smell would be close to Sur Le Nil which is one of my favorites since it's quite vegetal and green as well. I’m really excited to try this.

Edit (04-05-2024): This is very very green, don't expect it to smell like a flower garden, it's more like a garden of herbs. It opens with a very strong tomato leaf scent, which I like. I really think this is a nice fresh frag. Doesn't smell like Sur Le Nil, it smells closer to L'Ombre Dans L'Eau, but still not the same. Really nice.

Why all the bafflement about tomato leaves? Has nobody heard of Eau de Campaigne (Sisley/Jean-Claude Ellena)?

How could so many people "hate" a fragrance they've never even smelled? Don't be toxic!

Thank goodness we finally have a fragrance concept around a realistic garden, I wonder why Jean Claude Ellena never tried this at Hermes

My goodness, the trolls are now in full control of Fragrantica, we can't catch a breath with these idiots...!!!

Seems like a dream perfume for me
@novembersnow Stella by Stella McCartney has a good tomato leaf note in it

Si les tocará pintar una manzana a Dali, Picasso y Botero, creen que todos la pintarían igual? Yo no lo creo, cada artista (perfumista) tiene su toque, su estilo, su personalidad, su forma de ver el mundo. Lo mejor es esperar y olerlo antes de solo opinar.

I can’t wait to smell this! The scent of tomato leaf in a warm greenhouse on a sunny day is my idea of absolute heaven 😍 hoping this can fill the void in my life left by Les Belles de Ricci!

.....vegetables that have been used a LOT before? tomato leaf used in perfumery isn't very surprising. prediction likely won't be coming true anytime soon

I’m interested in the notes and smelling this one, not sure how wearable it will be.

1.8/5, 5 ratings, but no reviews since it’s not out yet. Cringe
