Gardenia & Vanilla

First impressions when you spray very strong on white florals and grapefruit and there is also a green, grassy note not listed. I find that it smells quite alcoholic when first sprayed as well. After about half an hour vanilla scent is the main thing remaining - interested to see that most other reviews say it’s not that strong. Projection decreases significantly after about an hour and I find scent is completely gone after two. Good value for what it is but it’s very weak so needs reapplying frequently - I always spray twice on every pulse point. Main accords I would say are citrus, green, white florals and vanilla. I personally barely detect sandalwood. Possibly better used as a body spray paired with a stronger, similar fragrance like Daisy or a dupe.

This is a really simple but FAB gardenia fragrance. The vanilla is a real superstar here, lifting it way beyond what the packaging suggests. The sandalwood smooths everything out beautifully. The grapefruit gives a lovely faint orangey sparkle in the opening that really helps the flowers feel dewy and freshly picked. Its £8 or so, and longevity reflects that, but its worth it to respray this little beauty. The happiness of the flowers lends a very pick-me- up vibe. <3

This is a pretty Gardenia fragrance at a very reasonable price. The longevity is pretty weak, but I'd be surprised to find a floral at this price point where that wasn't the case. It's elegant while it lasts, and it doesn't go soapy on me. It would be a good choice for a budget friendly work fragrance if you're happy to keep some in your handbag to top-up as needed.

Smells so much like Chanel Eau Tendre and Zara Apple Juice (I think this one is a better dupe for Chanel). Longevity is weak but sillage is great as long as it lasts. Opening is slightly citrusy but there is definitely some iris and musk in this, and vanilla is almost non-existent. A nice powdery musky and slightly warm skin-scent.

A good dupe for Daisy but honestly lasts about 5 minutes on me.

Tried in store today. Definitely a good daisy dupe, but leans greener with a hint of green apple in there. It even has a hint of violet though it's not listed in the note profile. I don't get any vanilla on me. I used to own Daisy and would consider buying this as an alternative. Lasting power not great (2 hr) but cannot complain for the price

Very beautiful but very, very fleeting. Eau Tendre but slightly less sharp. I love this so much and brought a large bottle, but I can’t smell it after 10 mins sadly. Zara Applejuice is a stronger option for similar price point.
