What does White Gardenia smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters recommend spring and summer. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and less towards evenings out. Half of voters read it as feminine.

Tangerine and bergamot add a bright lift, while gardenia forms the floral centre. Musky and woody notes soften the whole and add a powdery, mildly sweet warmth. Dorin Un Air de Damas Jasmin and Lalique Azalée have a close profile.
