What does Eternal Gardenia smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a trail that stays fairly close. Most voters pick spring, though the other seasons are worn about equally. Business, daily wear and leisure are the occasions named most often.

Gardenia sits at the centre, with nectarine adding a fruity brightness. Benzoin brings a creamy, gourmand sweetness, and patchouli deepens it a little. The overall impression is clean, soft and floral. Zara 02 Crispy Gardenia and Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
