    Bleeker Street by Bond No. 9 smells almost identical to Eau d’Eden—give it a try and let me know what you think!

  2. I adored it. It would have been my signature scent if they hadn’t taken the option away, as I used it for years before being forced to switch. I still keep an old bottle, and the scent remains just as intact, which I enjoy on special occasions. Please, let it return.

  3. Let this fragrance return; it’s a demand for Cacharel! It’s essential in every woman’s dressing table: feminine and fresh. Wearing this scent made me feel how good it feels to feel good. I’m from Argentina; it’s not available here since 2000, 23 years have passed and I’m still looking for it.

  4. The return of this fragrance is a demand for Cacharel; it is essential in every woman’s vanity, fresh and feminine. Wearing it made me feel everything that could possibly feel good. I am from Argentina, where it hasn’t been available since 2000. Twenty-three years have passed, and I am still searching for it.

  5. It earned me so many compliments here in Chile. Incredible longevity, lasting all day and lingering on clothes for several days. I wish they hadn’t discontinued it =(

  6. Eau d’Eden opens strongly with hyacinth and aquatic iris, with hints of rose and a spicy clove, but what predominates is that fruity, fresh, and aquatic accord with juicy peaches. It resembles Acqua Di Gio greatly, but the pineapple and lily of the valley in Armani make the difference. With its sister Eden, it’s a different story: this one is sharper with mimosa and water lily, and the patchouli keeps it from being too similar. They are opposites, which is fine because it was born to be light. I’m not looking for it desperately, but if I have it, I will use it perfectly; the trail is subtle and the sillage is correct. I love reading reviews and the nostalgia it evokes; it is very nineties, typical of that era.

  7. My best friend from school used to bathe in this perfume when we entered secondary school. Although her use was excessive, it didn’t bother me because Eau d’Eden is very pleasant, though less marked than the original Eden. A few years ago, when I started collecting scents with memories, I thought of her and didn’t hesitate to buy a mini bottle. In my little bottle, it smells the same: an opening of juicy peaches and nectarines, slightly plastic, followed by a soft hyacinth. The base notes are almost imperceptible, so I reapply every 3 or 4 hours. It is clearly a summer, youthful, and feminine perfume; despite its short longevity on the skin, it projects a lot. I still prefer the original Eden, but I will enjoy this sample for its cheerfulness, which takes me back to those carefree years where the worst that could happen was falling off your skates and everyone laughing. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 5/10 Versatile: 5/10 Original: 5/10

  8. After pestering a girl I usually buy testers from at a good price for ages, I finally got hold of it a few months ago and I’m absolutely thrilled. I didn’t remember the incredible longevity it has; the next day I picked up my clothes and they still smelled of it. A true wonder, despite the name ‘Eau’ leading people to mistakenly think it would be light and short-lived, which is far from the truth. Honestly, very hard to come by.

  9. After insisting on a tester with a girl I bought from, she got it for me a few months ago, and I am thrilled. I didn’t remember the incredible longevity it has. The clothes still smell the next day. It is a marvel despite being called ‘Eau’; perhaps it leads to the error of thinking it will be soft and short-lived, but nothing could be further from the truth. Very difficult to obtain, honestly…

    A beautiful fragrance from my youth; I haven’t seen it since. If I find it, I’d buy it again. It’s wonderful: sweet, fresh and delicious. It had incredible longevity and sillage. There are no perfumes like those from the 90s; they were magnificent.

  12. Why does something so delicious have to end so soon? What a scent this fragrance emitted, freshness, vitality, joy. It had such a beautiful colour that just looking at it made me want to jump into the sea on those fresh summer mornings, in my turquoise blue dress with white polka dots. Eau d’Eden, come back! Please, come back!

  13. Why does something so delicious fade so quickly? What a scent this fragrance emitted! Freshness, vitality, joy. It had such a lovely colour that just looking at it made me want to dive into the sea on crisp summer mornings, where I used to wear a turquoise blue dress with white polka dots. Please, Eau D’Eden, return.

  14. I would love to have it again. I had it years ago when I was only looking for green florals. I bought it at a summer perfume sale. What a delight, it resembled Aqua di Giogia, but I liked this one more. Fresh, invigorating, it changed my mood the moment I applied it. I almost always overapplied; its delight prevented me from settling for one or two sprays. It transported me to a place surrounded by water and nature. If anyone knows a dupe, please let me know. There are many Eau d’Edén lovers in Chile.

  15. I’d love to have it again. I had it years ago when I was only looking for green florals. I bought it at a summer perfume clearance. What a delight; it was like Aqua by Giorgio but I liked it much more. Fresh and dynamic, it changed my mood the moment I applied it. I almost always over-sprayed it because its delight didn’t let me settle for one or two sprays. It transported me to a place surrounded by water and nature. If anyone knows a dupe, please let me know. In Chile, there are many who are in love with Eau de Edén.

  16. Does anyone know where to get this in Chile? Please, help me, I’d be so grateful. It’s a soft, feminine, and neat scent… a beauty I thought I’d never see again. Thanks and best wishes.

  17. Finally found it in Santiago! The reviews made me want to try it, as I use the classic one and adore it. I thought they’d stopped making it, so I’ll give it a go.

  18. I searched for ages before I finally found it. I suppose tastes change with age. It was my perfume in my first year at university, full of idealised memories. Last year I found a 30ml bottle at a good price and didn’t hesitate. I used it about three or four times and it always gave me a terrible headache. I think the aquatic florals of my twenties just don’t work on my skin anymore. I blame the hyacinth. I wish we were on speaking terms. For now, there’s only that clear, clean, pure bottle left to gaze at.

    It’s like being soaked in bath foam all day. What a freshness! Its scent is a second skin that lasts all day until you forget you’ve worn it. But it’s there, you smell it, you feel it, and it makes you feel like a water lily in a pond.

  20. It accompanied me at the start of my youth and soon became my favourite fragrance… its longevity and sillage were incredible. I missed it for so long!

  21. Requiem for Eau D’Eden. One of my favourite girlhood perfumes. Smelling it transported me back to primary school: it recalls girls’ confidences, the perfumed paper everyone used, the haughtiness with the boys… it had a spectacular hyacinth and subtle powdered fruits wrapped in iris, like in gift wrap. How childish, haha! I’ll try those that say are similar to it. For Eau D’Eden, 8.5/10.

  22. How delicious you were! By God, why did they discontinue it when it was so delightful? The best for summer!

  23. Ahhhhh, what a perfume I loved! I bought it several times and the last time I wanted to buy it, they told me ‘No more is being made’. I nearly died! It was a gentle, feminine, floral, sweet fragrance, suitable for any time, especially spring and summer. I don’t understand how they still make the Eden and left this one behind. It doesn’t enter my head. What a pity!

    Fresh but with great strength. Sweet fruity notes and white flowers finish with a warm musk, very similar to Eau de Biotherm. I reviewed it in more detail on my blog: historias-fragantes.blogspot.com. What a shame they took it out of the catalogue.

  25. For those left wanting this wonderful fragrance like me: Mary Kay’s Belara is identical. Good luck to you all!

  26. Like Priscilla, I want it back. It was youthful, refreshing, energising and cheerful. What a pity they discontinued it.
