CreamyWhat does Perle de Gardénia smell like?
The top holds orange blossom absolute, ylang-ylang and neroli, while gardenia, iris and rose lead the heart. In the base, white leather, sandalwood, labdanum and amber close the scent with a woody, sweet warmth.
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. It is picked most often for evening, with daily wear, nights out and the office close behind. Hermès Hiris and Guerlain Cruel Gardénia have a close profile.
