Le Wild from Chantecaille is the most realistic gardenia scent I’ve found and I’ve sampled many. I’m indebted to a Fragrantican for including this sample in a recent swap. I grow two kinds of gardenias in my garden and this is an exact dupe of the scent they make.
This is gardenia flower both when it’s in its prime and past its prime. The creamy deep gardenia scent envelops you, but it’s not a big projector….not that I need it to be. This is for the gardenia lover, I don’t pick up anything else in the composition. I wish this had a bit more longevity, I’m only getting 2.5 hours on my second wearing. Still, I’m now on the hunt for a large decant or a good price for a FB.

Just wonder if “wildflowers” in this one have anything related to the “wildflowers” in Beachscape by Jennifer Aniston or not (I don’t say that they both are similar perfumes, just am curious about that particular note only). Beachscape smelled “weird” and did not work out for me, due to “wildflowers” and maybe something else in it too 🙁

This is the best gardenia scent money can buy. Believe me I’ve tried many. This is so realistic and dries down the same way it goes on. Fresh cut gardenias in a bowl of water. The exact smell! This is in the same family as Orchid Soleil, Lush Lust, Soleil Blanc, Guerlain Terracotta, Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia, Diptyque Do Son etc. But for me, none of those can get it quite right. Le Wild is hitting the nail straight on the head. I’m surprised this house is so underrated too. More for me.

Almost a dead ringer for Lush’s Lust- an animalic jasmine (I’m really not getting much gardenia) that starts out a little harsh and heavy with the indoles, then softens into a soft musky skin scent.

The bottom line: a gardenia version of Baiser Vole EDT by Cartier.
Bearing the Chantecaille name, Le Wild comes with a hefty price tag. Le Wild attempts to distinguish itself from other gardenia scents by the use of gardenia leaves, a note that is mentioned in the official website but not here. The result? A very green, very fresh and lush white floral. It smells elegant, young, and proper. The sweetness here is very subtle. I am always reminded how soft and fragile flower petals are when I wear this. As time goes on the greenness fades and more pure floral sweetness can be detected.
Now whether a green gardenia is worth spending $200 on is up to you; I got it with a 25% discount and still think it’s asking a bit too much for what it offers. The scent definitely has quality, but projection is soft and longevity is within 6 hours. Should it last longer I would’ve been much more satisfied.

Dense gardenia vines twining along the edge of a secret meadow in a rainforest. The most raw floral I’ve ever experienced. Lush and lovely.

A summer/spring scent. The name “the Wild”, absolutely befitting.
Wearing on a sunny cooler Spring day, it doesn’t last at all. Green
and floral. Cheerful and pleasant. Youthful but not at all immature
Not the least bit girly. It’s a cross between vent verte and gardenia
Passion by Annick Goutal. Lovely, but not toDieFor in the least. II
Update 2017 beginning of Fall. Sunny day Springish but Crisp.
Very sunny day, hot in car, but light jacket appropriate when out.
although not necessary. Wore Le Wild to Apple store in upscale
Mall. Very soft and mature but friendly smell to wear around those
kids (millenials). On the verge of being matronly I feel. Motherly –
for sure. Millennial-friendly if you’re older but not a baby boomer

I must say I am adoring these beautiful perfumes by Chantecaille!!! And to know that they don’t test on animals, and are so environmentally concerned warms my heart. I love them! And Le Wild is absolutely wonderful. Beautiful flowers!! Just totally beautiful. The most gorgeously sweet and fresh and adorable gardenia! It’s TO DIE FOR!!! Truly it is. It’s so lovely, and it lasts well too! A good 10 hours! And I relish spraying more on anyway, when it begins to fade, so I don’t mind it not lasting forever! (forever for me is 24 hours and more! Most perfumes last a long time on my skin – lucky me! – usually more like 18!)
Le Wild is absolutely feminine and so pretty, but mature and womanly. Alluring and gentle. Sensual and most attractive. Gorgeous. LOVE IT!!
