What does Gardenia Reale smell like?

The opening is bright and crisp, with apple and lemon, while apple blossom adds a soft floral touch to that fruity freshness. In the heart, iris brings a powdery feel and caramel clearly sweetens the scent. The base settles into musk, cedarwood and gourmand notes, leaving a woody, powdery ground with the sweetness lingering over it. Citrus and synthetic touches round out the overall character. Casino Parfuem Saxonia Vilafee and Rancé 1795 Eau de la Couronne have a close profile.
