What does White Gardenia Petals smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable close by without filling the room. The number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. Its fresh floral line keeps it easy to wear for a unisex fragrance.

It opens with lily, blackcurrant and bergamot for freshness. In the heart, gardenia, ylang-ylang, jasmine and lily of the valley carry the floral weight. Amberwood leaves a woody base, while the animal and powdery accords soften the whole.
