Gardenia & Oud Absolu

So I just received my bottle of this fragrance. It is absolutely glorious! I can relate to the gardenia because it reminds me so much of the Tahitian gardenia called Tiaré. This sweet smelling scent will give you compliments. It's a summertime freshie to wear. The dry down is subtle and eases in with gardenia. When I first sprayed it, I could smell the white flowers turn into gardenia. Having the oud allows this scent to linger on my skin. I don't smell amber as much but to me it comes and goes. There is an animalic quality to it though. This is definitely great for men because it doesn't smell like a feminine scent. Women can wear this as well. It falls between both genders and recharges when you perspire. Overall, this scent is heavenly.

This fragrance is glorious. I personally LOVE oud and gardenia, so this mix is a wonderful fusion of the both. The combination of the both of these forms a sweet, royal, all around beautiful wear, suitable for any occasion. The sad thing about this is the price point. I would personally love to own this, but the price is outrageous. If you like sophisticated Oud/ Gardenia scents, get this.

I’m obsessed! Always looking for gardenia notes that capture the flower without being cloying. The oud elevates the flower notes to something exotic and enticing. I spray this on and melt into the smell. My husband loves it on me and he hates everything! Lol.

what a lovely, gorgeous, wealthy smell!. The agarwood and the musk gives you a decent, masculine kick!. This is the best perfume for men who loves a white flowery scent but doesn't want to smell too feminine.

This is a very rich, lush heavy fragrance. I get equal parts gardenia and oud. Gardenia is a heady flower and JML does it justice by combining it with something equally strong as oud. Not for the shy...
