Iconic Gardenia

I normally don't gravitate towards floral perfume. It takes a special scent to make me want to smell like a flower! This is one of the few floral fragrances that I absolutely adore. It is strong, but a tad sweet from the vanilla. I love wearing this perfume especially when I'm wearing floral prints. It is great for the spring & summer, but especially spring. It is lively and bring about the birth of flowers and trees getting their leaves. It is hopeful. The things I don't like about Iconic Gardenia is that it's staying power is week. I have to reapply every few hours. Also, every now and then I get a hint of a hairspray smell.

I absolutely LOVE this! However, it smells like so many other scents out there. It smells exactly like KKW Kris & Crystal Gardenia, Tocca Florence, Michael Kors, original Kim K perfume (her first one she ever released back in the day). Literally the same scents. White fresh floral, clean, pretty. If you have any of those, you can pass on this. Trust me they’re the same but different bottles. I wish she could’ve put a twist on this instead of putting out the same perfume. Maybe add some yellow floral notes like Frangipani & Ylang-Ylang with some honey or beeswax.

I love this, but what frustrates me is how it feels like every perfume she brings out smells the same. This is just like her original in the black bottle and very similar to Crystal Gardenia. They're all great, but isn't it time to move on? The bottle is gorgeous though.

Coming from someone who thinks gardenia scents are overdone, rest assured this one is great. It’s definitely gardenia forward but I get the other notes too. Woody white floral. Layer this with caramel orchid and we have a winner

This scent is amazing. Gardenia with an edge to it, I definitely pick up the orchid and sandalwood, not sure why those aren’t ranked higher in the notes
