What does Flowers for Men - Gardenia smell like?

Lime, bergamot and elemi resin open it bright and lively. In the heart, gardenia, grass and hay give a green, lightly sweet flower. The base of myrrh, musk, oud and patchouli pulls it towards something spicy, earthy and slightly animal.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen mostly for leisure and nights out. Voters mostly read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. Frédéric Malle Rose Tonnerre / Une Rose and Lush Grass have a close profile.
