Le Wild

Though Chantecaille's marketing verbage for Le Wild emphasises Gardenia, Le Wild is in truth a rather complexly mixed white floral. If any pale blossom can claim the lead here it is most likely tuberose, ...or perhaps lily, as its spiciness does add a distinct frisson to this sumptuous floral savagery. By the way 'Brazilian' gardenia is not a 'thing'. There are no gardenias native to South America. In any case, the gardenia note in perfumery is always a constructed accord developed in a perfumery lab, ...so any growing location is only a myth for the marketing team to manipulate. So anyway, is Le Wild an good? Definitely, ..if you like rich white florals a lot. Because there is a lot of aspects of white flora richness to experience here: indolic, honeyed, sharp, green, sweet, and spicy to name but a few. Also by the way, Fragrantica has made two similar review pages for Le Wild Chantecaille (2016). This is the one with a better, more explanative, note pyramid, ...but the other one shows the bottle most people are likely to see. I'll just double-post this review on both pages.
