What does Gardénia smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage strong, though only a few people have voted, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a firm verdict. It sits between masculine and feminine and can be worn by anyone.

Gardenia, jasmine and rose form a floral base, which pear, raspberry and red fruits sweeten. Vanilla milk softens the whole, while saffron and pepper add a spicy warmth. Sandalwood and patchouli leave a woody depth behind it.
