What does Gardenia (Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer; leisure, a night out and daily wear come first, with business use close behind. Most voters read it as feminine.

It opens fresh with bergamot, and the heart builds a floral garden of jasmine, orange blossom, May rose, violet and mimosa. Green and fruity touches meet a light sweetness, while styrax, sandalwood and musk settle it into a powdery, creamy, woody base. Fragonard Mimosa and Yves Saint Laurent Paris have a close profile.
