Description
Gardez Moi is a revisiting of the 1920s theme that Jovoy had explored in the years of its market youth. The modern interpretation needed to be respectful to the shameless spirit of the roaring 20s while at the same time providing the contemporary sensibilities of the modern consumer.
The new opus of Jovoy is signed by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour who divulges: “This gardenia comes from a very opulent bouquet of white flowers, rich in contrasts, with hints of fresh water (water cyclamen) and an impression of green, crushed leaves in the initial stages, which support the volume of the composition and make this perfume, at the same time, rich and harmonious, feminine and sensual, and faithful over time.”
Jovoy Gardez Moi contains the following fragrant notes:
Top Notes: Coriander, Aldehydes, Black Pepper, Cyclamen, Leaves of Tomato
Heart Notes: Ylang-Ylang, Egyptian Jasmine Absolute, Absolute Mimosa, Gardenia, Lily White
Base Notes: Virginia Cedar resin, Styrax, Musk, Vanilla, Oak Moss, Raspberry Agreement
Gardez Moi was launched in 2013.

This is a straight up fun scent for me and I just realized why.
This is how the Duty Free stores at the airport
smell.
And every time I smell duty free, I’m on vacation. woohoo!!!! So do you want to smell like cosmetics and perfume? Why not. Enjoy.

I’ve been on the hunt for a gardenia scent and I recently scored a 1/3 of a bottle of Gardez Moi in an auction off eBay.
The opening is a juicy, dark gardenia. After 20 minutes it calms down and I can pick up some of the other florals. After an hour it turns to a skin scent….. or so I thought.
As I was dining outside twice this past week I was complimented both times by different sets of guests. Remarkably I was still projecting the scent between 3 and 5 hours after first applying.
Frustratingly this will not be the holy grail of all gardenias, because I can’t detect shortly after spraying, so my search continues.

Gardez Moi opens as a beautiful floral bouquet with a touch of spices and slightly sweet fruity undertone.I can’t detect aldehydes but coriander,cyclamen and what I refer to tomato leaves are noticeable but gardenia is star.soon spices calm down and it’s floral heart blooms more and gardenia,clean jasmine and a tad spicy lily take the stage.white florals are so soft and fresh as if they’re petals,leaves and stems are wet by rain but fortunately there’s not much of they’re leaves and stem’s aura noticable here it’s not a really green scent.
Gardez Moi is not a gardenia soliflore,other white and yellow florals and some sort of sweet fruity,very light aromatic spicy accord accompany it.gardenia isn’t sharp,loud and showy such as gardenia in Kim Kardashian Kim Kardashian or Bond No.9 central park west.it’s not a fatty creamy,tropical beachy coconuty or banana-like either.it’s not even the green gardenia of Chanel gardenia or the milky,supersoft,sophisticated gardenia of Narciso Rodriguez Narciso edp or Cartier la panthere.. It’s something in between.it’s clean but not syntethic,fresh but not green,sophisticated and classy yet youthful,soft and well-rounded but not fatty and indolic and sweet but not heavily
as time passes yellow florals become stronger but not strong enough to overpower gardenia.I can definitely detect a touch of ylang-ylang and and softly powdered mimosa. these floral notes usually make a scent kind of maternal for me,also in this case I can feel that calm,kind motherly feeling but at the same time I get a playful,sunny and happy,girly thing which makes me believe that Gardez Moi is totally ageless. I’ve read in some reviews that it suits +40 ladies but IMHO it can be perfect on a 25 year old as well as her mother and grandmother
It finally dries down to a warm,soft scent of florals in a woodsy-vanilla-musky base.just a little bit of base notes
It’s definitely a pleasant one.feminine,refined and easy to wear and there’s many interesting notes that accompanies florals;it’s a simple fragrance but not a boring one.I believe it could be more intresting with a stronger base but I can’t say that I don’t like it as it is.there’s nothing to dislike here.florals are main players but they’re not heavy and difficult to handle for a non-floral-lover,it’s sweetness never gets cloying and spices melt perfectly.
I will become very happy to receive it as a gift but I don’t think I’m going to buy it full price though I would definitely take it home if I find it in a discount .I can’t say it’s generic or bland but I don’t find it interesting enough for it’s high price tag, or maybe I can’t like it because it’s faint on my skin and I expect more longevity and sillage from such a perfume.it doesn’t last more than 3-4 hours on my skin with soft to moderate sillage,not bad, not really good but it smells gorgeous
یه عطر گلی بسیار خوشبو و زیبا و لطیف که برای خانم های جوون هم قابل استفاده ست. گاردنیا اینجا نه سبزه،نه سنگین و ایندولیک و چرب،نه تیز و جیغ،نه ساحلی و نارگیلی.یه شکل همه پسند و راحت و دوست داشتنی از گاردنیا ست که توسط گلهای زرد و سفید مختلف همراهی میشه.حضور نت های اسپایسی و آروماتیک اصلا بحدی نیست که اون رو تند یا مردونه کنن فقط از یکنواختی گلی در میارنش و بامزه ش میکنن.یه ته بوی میوه ای شیرین هم داره که حس و حال شاد و جوون و مدرنی بهش میده اما نمیشه اون رو زیادی شیرینی یا یه عطر میوه ای دونست..بهار و تابستون فصل های ایده آلش هستن اما میشه چهارفصل استفاده ش کرد..با توجه به رای ها گویا برای بقیه موندگاری و پخش بوی رضایتبخشی داره اما رو پوست من نهایتا سه چهار ساعت میمونه و پخشش چیزی بین ملایم و متوسطه..چیزی ک درنهایت رو پوست باقی میمونه یه رایحه گلی-گاردنیایی ملایم و لطیفه با زمزمه ای از وانیل پودری و زمزمه یواش تری از سدر
درمجموع بنظرم رایحه دوست داشتنی داره،رومانتیک،خانومانه، پراستفاده و باکلاس و اگه با تخفیف یا تو تبادل پیداش کنم حتماً میگیرمش اما با قیمت کامل فک نکنم بگیرمش.شاید اگه گاردنیای خامه ای و جوندارتری داشت،اگه گل سوسن و میموزا غالبتر بودن،اگه نت های پایه قویتری داشت و یا پخش قویتر میتونستم لاو رو انتخاب کنم اما فعلا به لایک نزدیکتره تا لاو

I had smelled this in NYC not that long back. I’m a guy and I’d have NO PROBLEM wearing this white floral beauty. I couldn’t stop sniffing my upper right palm.
This scent is two words “Gor” and “Jus”.

Last night I was checking some new product when I encountered something magnificent. I recognized that something smells extremely beautiful. It was like I am in the middle of heaven with a lot of flowers surrounded me! I chased the smell and finally I found the source! It was a masterpiece created by Jovoy! Gardez Moi was the one which was enchanted me. Absolutely feminine perfume with great projection. Gardenia, Jasmine and white Lily was mixed meticulously and had made a extraordinary beautiful blend which absorb any attention. I sprayed a little on my wrist and when I got home, It was still smelling significantly. So I can say that the longevity is as good as the projection. According to the accords, I can say it is a good perfume for warm seasons. If I wanted to buy a perfume for a girl at the age of around 30, I would buy it with no doubt.

Gardez Moi by Jovoy Paris combines the most true-to-life gardenia with sweet aquatic-floral undertones. I definitely get the impression of the green leaves flowed by some fizzy mimosa with a hint of raspberry. Notes of crisp lily with buttery ylang-ylang and a wisp of jasmine. I have a serious obsession with all things gardenia so it is no surprise that I absolutely love this fragrance. This is the second fragrance that I have purchased from the Jovoy Paris house and I do find their fragrances to be unique, high quality and so well-done. Gardez Moi is elegant and refined which is perfect for date night and black tie affairs.

A sweet, creamy white floral, ideally suited to summer days and weddings.
My one complaint is that the sweetness is a bit much to start with. It does calm down as time goes on, but the initial blast of it could do with being reigned in just a tad.
The opening offers some lovely cyclamen. It’s all green, wet and snappy. It really showcases the best of this amazing note.
There are apparently a lot of florals in the heart notes, but what I get is gardenia and ylang ylang. They’re featured very prominently in this perfume. The gardenia is full bodied and super creamy. It’s the star of the show for a good hour or so, then the ylang ylang takes centre stage.
My favourite thing about ylang ylang is its versatility. I find it can be all tart, tangy and aloof, or it can be creamy and slightly warm. It’s the latter here. You can the full banana smell from it (which might just mean I’m crazy, but I swear ylang ylang often smells like banana to me!).
Towards the end this becomes a lovely soft vanilla with some woody depth to it. I’m finding this to be quite a common dry down with Duchafour’s creations.
The longevity is amazing. A couple of spritzes will easily last all day.
I really enjoy this, although it’s not going to be for people who don’t like sweet perfumes because the sweetness is a LOT.

Too sweet, too strong, almost confetti-sugary, and imho heavy! On skin I feel geranium, lily and gardenia bouquet, but not the fresh one, more likely the one that was in a vase for quite some time, so the. Water turned brownish … Overly ripe and mature scent, about 6 hours on my skin, left with moss and pepper. Overall, a bit disappointed with this ” keep me safe” cologne, but can totally see it on 40+ Somewhere in opera, covered in burgundy velvet and blings….

I love big fat white creamy florals(BFWFs) but was looking for something off the well-worn path. The interesting note description for Gardez Moi and the story behind it swept me off my feet and caused a blind buy. Mostly what I smell, is masses of gardenia flowers that have just opened their buds, that have not gotten the slightly carrion smell of gardenias before they begin to wilt. Joining in are Jasmine, Lily, Ylang Ylang and Tuberose, all my favourite culprits and all at the peak of their beauty. This is less dense than Isabey’s Fleur Nocturne, a favourite of mine but which can be cloying for people across me if they aren’t fans of BFWFs. The crispness I assume coming from Cyclamen and tomato leaf, together with aldehydes gives this a green opening akin to Cristalle without its frostiness. The smoky styrax and musk give Gardez Moi a strong base and the scent lasted on me the whole day with two sprays, with a good sillage too. I find this more interesting than Estee Lauder’s Tuberose Gardenia which I paid a far dearer price for than Gardez Moi. To enjoy this, one must really adore overdoses of white florals, beginning green and fresh and ending in shadowy musk, I suppose much like a love affair that the perfume is named after. To top it all off, the scent comes in a heavy glass bottle with a heavy silver top and housed in a faux leather but still very elegant presentation box. These things shouldn’t really matter to a perfume lover but as a gift, it would not go unappreciated. I would recommend this even if it isn’t quite far off enough the beaten path for my current fancies.

“Gardez Moi” smells like summertime. The opening was breathtakingly beautiful – feminine, sweet and warm flowers, mostly I was struck with cyclamen and lily, gardenia was also present, but it was perfectly blend with other notes, and good thing it was as straight up gardenia can sometimes induce headache for me.
As it develops “Gardez Moi” keeps the beautiful summertime vibe until it reaches the 5 hour mark where all the flowers fade away and I am left with slightly sour musk drydown which I’ve never been fond off, so I have to admit that I felt a slight disappointment at this stage.
Staying power was decant – 5 hours with flowers and few more as straight up sour-slightly flowery musk.

This is a fascinating scent! Opening is sharp and GREEN! But it isn’t unpleasant at all and quickly subsides into an ever evolving white floral that is soft and sensuous. I wore it to a dinner party recently and I’ve never received more compliments on how good I smelled. Definitely FBW
