What does Gardelia (2025) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong, and so is sillage. The notes read as one whole: coolness and sparkle come from the citrus, the soft creamy side from the flowers. It does not lean toward either gender and suits skin of any kind.

Bergamot and yuzu give it a bright, fresh surface; rose, gardenia, ylang-ylang and osmanthus carry the floral part. Haitian and Sri Lankan vetiver with Siam benzoin add a green, earthy, resinous depth. The accords also show a chypre character, with touches of spice and an animal edge.
