What does Gardénia Blanc / Goddess smell like?

It opens on gardenia absolute, with jasmine sambac and rose absolute softening it in the heart. Sandalwood, a sensual skin accord and ambergris sit underneath. The floral, sweet side blends with a creamy texture, while spicy, woody and animal touches add depth in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, then winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Voters read it as more feminine, though a fair share call it masculine. Costume National Intense Red Edition and Montale Gold Flowers have a close profile.
