What does Gardenia Rattan smell like?

Gardenia, tuberose and tiaré make up the white-floral core, while marine notes give them an aquatic lift and amber leaves a light sweetness underneath. The accords run fresh, floral and aquatic, with the powdery, creamy side staying in the background.

Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and most voters read it as feminine. Its profile is close to Diptyque Do Son and Narciso Rodriguez For Her Forever.
