Petales

I'm very disappointed, this has been my summer fragrance for the past few years. It was out of stock here in Canada for most of last year. I was aware that Chantecaille was changing their packaging and also adding a couple of new fragrances, but I was afraid that some formula changes may happen. The last time I bought the Frangepani it was not as potent. Now in the beginning of June I finally get my beloved Petales and it has been watered down! The price is still high, so I'm afraid to say that will be the last time I purchase it. I wore it in Japan in 40c humid weather and I couldn't smell it, and no one mentioned it. The Japanese are not fond of fragrance especially strong scents, no one complained, and I put quite a bit on because it was so faint compared to the usual batches. This proves my point that the formula has changed. I used to get so many compliments on this fragrance and this year nothing! It doesn't last like it used to. I was really loving Chantecaille because it's so beautiful and clean and doesn't give me a headache. But $300.00 for 75ml for something that doesn't last is not good.

Idk what these reviewers are smelling. Oh wait, I am doing a winter review and it's not that strong at 4-5 sprays. It smells ridiculously BEAUTY-FULL. At first I get this buttery note. OMG. Not much gardenia and a touch of green. If I had to live in one perfume my whole life it'd be this. Will update come summer. Peace ***UPDATE*** Not a reach-for at all. Ok, so, this smells ridiculously beautiful - a point which I maintain - but you have to live up to it!!! It's hard to find a time when I want to actually reach for it!! But having her in mY wardrobe - a full bottle no-less, is its own reward. It's enough that it is an option - that I CAN pass on reaching for it is a luxury in and of itself, that how ridiculously BEAUTY-FULL she is.

Soft, delicate, beautiful, lovely, perfect bridal scent, and a must-try for white floral lovers. Many people say that Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia is the ultimate, well, tuberose-gardenia scent, but I don't think so. That one is too watery and has a strong jasmine note as well. If you want pure tuberose and gardenia, this is it. The name is truly fitting, nothing but dewy white petals here. I have adored it for 7+ years now and keep coming back. I have always pictured this to be my wedding day perfume and now that I actually am getting married, it definitely will be. Much like my man, I don't ever want to part ways with Petales.

Always on the search for the best Gardenia, I was so fortunate to be gifted a sample of this. Wow, I just fell in love. It is the most easy to wear Gardenia soliflore, it is creamy slightly sweet and waxy, yet clear and fresh, exactly what I was wanting. I find this to be very true to flower fragrance, It smells elegant! This is what I have been looking for! Not like others on market, so happy to have this!

This is such a lovely gardenia. I sprayed too much on my arm two days ago so I dabbed it with a tissue. I've since showered twice so the fragrance is no longer on my skin, but the tissue is still fragrant! I'm very impressed with the quality. The dry down is just as beautiful as the top notes. I've switched to chantecaille for all of my cosmetics too. Love them.
