PowderyWhat does Gardenia / N°41 smell like?
It opens with gardenia and peach, a soft fruity sweetness laid over the flower. In the heart, ylang-ylang, gardenia and sandalwood wrap the floral body in a creamy woodiness. White musk and ambergris leave a powdery, lightly spicy, oriental warmth at the base.
Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters call it feminine, and some call it classic. It is picked most often for fall and spring, and evenings and nights out are the occasions it leans towards. Schlossparfumerie Wolff & Sohn Stuttgart Gardenia and Pimkie Velvet Night have a close profile.
