Starlet

Couldn't agree with isabella more, THIS is what a real gardenia smells like! Many years ago on a May night on a Miami beach, DH and I were overwhelmed by the most gorgeous heady aroma we'd ever experienced. A night and scent we still talk about and I've looked for that fragrance in a bottle for decades! And finally found it in Starlet!!! Should call it Miami May Night! May I never be without this incredible perfume.

So gorgeous!!! My God - a gardenia - a bunch of gardenias!!! - a whole garden of gardenias!!!! Incredibly real. The realest gardenia! It's lovely - so so so lovely! And it lasts and lasts! It's potent, just like gardenias. It's beautiful, as gardenias are! It's gorgeous!!! There's nothing, nothing else there - just gorgeous beautiful, heavenly gardenias. Beautiful, soft and pungent. Enthralling!!!

smells EXACTLY like a gardenia. not like an oil trying to be a gardenia. no, it is a gardenia. gorgeous. dry down is a sweet skin smell, like it was rubbed with a gardenia and sun. i have scoured the earth for a perfect gardenia, untainted and soft, and here it is.

Agreed! This is gorgeous true Gardenia, love it! Highly recomend this to Gardenia lovers.

This perfume most certainly does smell just like a gardenia that has just bloomed! I don't know how it wears on others, but on me it tends to get to it's earthy dry down a little too fast. That would be my only complaint. It's such a tease!! The dry down doesn't smell bad, but I do wish the gorgeous opening could stay a bit longer. For those interested in buying this, please be aware that it is now called Olivine, and must be purchased from Olivine Atelier. You will also get redirected to the proper site if you visit Lulu Beauty on Etsy.

I have to agree with the other reviewers that this is an astonishingly realistic gardenia. Spooky!
