Floris Gardenia is a floral women's fragrance built around gardenia, tuberose and jasmine, with a fresh, sweet edge; it has been discontinued.
Voters rate both longevity and sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes makes that a rough guide. With its clear floral character and light woody base, it reads as feminine.
It opens with bergamot, neroli and peach, which give a citrusy, fruity freshness. The heart gathers gardenia, tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom, lily, ylang-ylang and cyclamen into a green-tinged floral bouquet. Musk, balsam, labdanum and sandalwood soften the base. Dior Grand Bal and Floris Bouquet de la Reine (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
