Essence

I have always wanted this one, ever since my brother brought a sample home to me years ago, but since I don't wear florals very often, I'm afraid I'll get tired of it fast. I am not crazy about gardenia perfumes because I much prefer the flower in real life to wearing the scent, but this particular fragrance is really special. It's evident that the the creator took significant care in blending the gardenia with other notes. He (or she) allows the gardenia to sparkle and shine, front and center, without being a single note.

this is gardenia..but not a cheap gardenia..smells clean, fresh and elegant..and sexy..so many friends have asked me and wanted to write down the name of this..i just absolutely love it..i have the body cream as well and it's really divine.. update-another lost treasure..such a shame a handful of them still around are sold for extraordinary prices. gone gone gone.

I had a bottle of this perfume for quite sometime and didn't appreciate this fragrance when I was younger. It is a beautiful white floral...it smells like a wedding bouquet or spring garden full of white flowers. I don't usually like florals, I find them too nauseating or boring but this one is a masterpiece.

Creamy gardenia + touch of lavender. Somewhat cloudy and sad (= gardenia) color: greyish mauve, steel blue Music: Sugar - Tori Amos (4:24 ambient version)

Great scent! This is basically gardenia and a very good one! It starts a little green and then it becomes a creamy lovely, stable, feminine, long-lasting gardenia. Basenotes give sillage and duration. I'm happy that it works well with my skin chemistry and makes me feel ladylike in an intense and modern way. This is an upgraded classic Amarige. I had a few samples and I faved about them! I almost drank the content (well, my skin did!) and lay down in dreaming mood. It has something in common with Fracas, which I also love. It's very sunny, positive, elegant but not too demure. It has some kick and sexiness. Nothing I could smell on a man without feeling confused, LOL! If you like gardenia it's worthy to try it.
