WoodyWhat does Gardénia Grand Soir smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with evening and office use also possible. Most voters read it as feminine.
It opens with green notes and bergamot for freshness. In the heart, gardenia meets sandalwood and the floral side turns a little sweeter. Musk sits quietly in the base and rounds the scent off softly.
