What does Jour d'Hermès Gardénia smell like?

The flowers read together: gardenia and tuberose form a creamy, powdery core, softened by jasmine and rose. Citrus and green accents keep it light rather than heavy, and the sweetness stays in the background.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen. It leans towards daily wear and the office, and reads feminine. It has been discontinued. Harry Lehmann Gardenie and Profumum Roma Tuberosa have a close profile.
