Tropical Gardenia

Gorgeous. Gardenia and coconut, although the coconut isn't listed. It smells like the best day at the beach you could ever have. I don't mean just a day at the beach. I'm conjuring a day at a private, secluded island off the coast of some remote tropical resort, that was rented for you and your party alone. A crew has been hired to wait on your every desire, hand and foot, with every beach-wish you ever had for a day at the shore fulfilled - on the spot. The only responsibility you have is to smell divine, and you are holding up your end of the bargain. That, and not spilling your drink. Absolutely fabulous...I feel famous when I wear this.

If you love Tiare flower, you will love this one!!! I l o v e !!!!!tropical gardenia actually surprised me, I thought t was going to be real pungent, and it turns out to be my favorite scent by lucy B, so if your thinking about it, i say do it, you wont be disappointed :)

By far the most realistic gardenia scent I have ever tried. It has that buttery, almost coconut-y note that I smell in real gardenias growing in my garden. Not too sweet- just perfect.

Oddly enough, it was only yesterday that I encountered for the very first time a gardenia-champaca-magnolia perfume (Annick Goutal UN MATIN D'ORAGE), and by some sort of cosmic coincidence, I find myself wearing another one today: Lucy B TROPICAL GARDENIA. The notes revealed in the gushing prose of my carded sample are these: top: champaca, magnolia middle: vanilla blossom and honey amber I gather from the name, and the scent, that gardenia is in here somewhere, too! TROPICAL GARDENIA is really quite lovely, less sharp and spicy than AG's gardenia-champaca-magnolia, and just a touch sweeter. This is a creamy floral delight, with less gardenia, and more of a tropical vibe. I like this relatively linear creation with medium sillage and decent longevity a lot, and can definitely see acquiring a full bottle under the right circumstances (retail therapy, reckless spending, self-induced amnesia as to the current extent of my collection--the list goes on and on... (-:)

I tried 3 Lucy B frags unsniffed . . .this one, Pink Frangipani and Egyption Amber . . . Tropical Gardenia at first spritz seemed waay too strong (go lightly with this one) and even my 68 yr old mom said it smelled like "old lady" flowers. BUT after an hour I kept getting this very pretty waft of Spring. BTW the sillage is amazing. Its a bit more floral than i usually prefer and I didnt get any of the warming notes described on the label but it evolved nicely after a while and I will wear it these spring and summer nights. I would highly recommend to gardenia lovers and true floral lovers.
