What does Sotto la Luna - Gardenia smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind and summer the least chosen. Evening and night-out wear lead, though it also works for leisure. Most see it as feminine, and a fair share call it classic.

It opens on gardenia bud, with rose and gardenia at the heart. In the base, jasmine, vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood bring a sweet, powdery, woody warmth. Beside the floral accord, green, spicy and resinous sides come through. Ajmal Evoke Silver Edition for Her and Guerlain Shalimar (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
