Fresh but also sultry
This doesn’t smell exactly like an actual gardenia in the hot summer, but it’s close. And certain close enough for the price!

Trying another way to wear this
Although I really do enjoy realistic green scents, this one feels cloying rather quickly. Such a shame because I had high hopes for it. But

Wow. This is such a beautiful sweet sparkly gardenia. It's definitely different than the creamy gardenia of other fragrances with gardenia

Perfect gardenia
This is such a beautiful, fresh, photorealistic gardenia scent. That would be enough to make it 5/5 but it also somehow has a kinda iconic bottle AND you can get it for under $20.

My Favorite Gardenia
This is like being surrounded by glossy deep green gardenia bushes, one in your hair and a bouquet in your hand. The most perfect, creamy yet fresh gardenia.
