As Haddadi below has mentioned, this is a superlative Gardenia in the dry down, the opening can be a little confronting if you’re not sure what to expect. There’s a slight acetone note at the start, but the lush gardenia shines through. I blind bought it, partly due to the high rating in the 2018 Perfume Guide, and tried it this morning for the first time…it’s the middle of winter here, I think this one will bloom beautifully in warmer weather.

very soft and linear, I have to spray 5 spritz to achieve an impact (layering it with almond oil) which makes it much more expensive even though I got the bottle for $66. Still!! But the smell is unique, calming, and very long lasting. A perfectly realistic gardenia. We had a tree in our garden and I remember the imposing smell of its white flowers from my child-hood. I do not regret buying it.

A beautiful controlled Gardenia. Its almost a soliflore but supported gently with jasmine, sandalwood and a faint sweet wood note in the background. I can say the Gardenia isnt too sharp and the blue cheese nuance is controlled and balanced close to perfection. It never gets uncomfortable. Its solidly a floral so those that want a richer experience, layer with the Ambre from the line. I bought 2 bottles. Its a beautiful delicate Gardenia

After purchasing his rose and ambre Essence’s and liking them both in the warmer weather I ordered a 5ml sample of gardenia,what a lovely surprise , on me it dries down to a lovely warm and slightly spicy smell, as for Gardenia I really don’t know , my mum had something called Gardenia many years ago in a tiny dab on bottle, I remember not liking it , well this is lovely, on me I don’t get floral just that lovely warm comforting smell, having said that I’m saving it for summer, it must be my skin but as with the other Essence’s they stay close to me,not much projection but they last well, out of the 3 I would definitely purchase a large bottle of this one , my summer fragrance sorted .

I do love the gardenia scent but wearing it in a fragrance is a very different matter. I cant handle screechy white florals.
This is very good. I get the orange blossom with gardenia on the opening. It’s rich with a little orange blossom sweetness. I definitely get a bit of indolic jasmine. A bit of skank!
It settles to leafy greenery with a touch of gardenia. There is almost a rubberiness. This a unisex scent that is pretty easy to wear and you are not in danger of overwhelming anyone nearby.
If you are expecting Madonnas Truth or Dare screechy white floral then you will feel let down. This is an infinitely more wearable white floral softened with wood notes that won’t give you a migraine.
I get moderate sillage and longevity. I look foward to wearing on warm days.

After sampling it, let me say this ” may be its the most realistic gardenia perfume Ive ever smelled” like it or not? At first I did not like it so much I dont know why but in the second morning the drydown was amazing!!!! Iwill try it again cause I think it may be my favorite gardenia perfume that Iam still looking for?

Tested it today and it is a big let down. Watered down papery, hay-like, green lactonic nothingness.
It’s a flop for me. Stick to dresses, Miss Saab!
Gardenia is a DIVA of a plant, so therefore a bolder attempt would have been required.
Zero authenticity, nor sillage, nor longevity.
-1/ 10. Yup, it is THAT bad.
