What does Gardénia Passion smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, with fall close behind and winter picked by only a few. It doesn't lean on a single occasion, running from daily wear to evenings, and half of the voters call its character feminine.

Petitgrain and mandarin orange open it with a bright lift. The heart holds tuberose, Tunisian neroli, jasmine and gardenia, where the floral side dominates. In the base, oakmoss, vanilla and labdanum settle it onto a woody, sweet, powdery ground, with green and fruity touches showing along the way.
