Gardenia Bath and Body Works for women

Having traveled through Hawaii on my way to being stationed on Guam, Gardenia really just brings back such wonderful memories of my adventures on that tropical island as a young woman. I love this scent. I had to buy the silky body spray on ebay, but I layer this on in the summer time w/ some pineapple-coconut, and I'm in heaven. I don't care if others don't like it (I've never had a complaint). I didn't even know there were other notes besides the gardenia because this spray really smelled like when you get off the plane and step into that tropical, humid, flower infused Hawaiian (and Guamanian) air. Heaven, Heaven, Heaven.

This one I can't seem to figure out whether I like or not. It's a little different from what I usually wear but it is classy and feminine and for nights when I want to feel especially so. Longevity is a MONSTER! Surprisingly I can smell this on me/my clothes days later. I only really wear a little at night, too much induces headaches.

I thought I'd add...I've come to the conclusion that I'm not a fan of gardenia..but I love this!

The coconut and vanilla notes make this scent sweet and boring,and make me headache.

sounded so much more promising.. and it came out blah.. bland and unmemorable..

BBW GARDENIA is a relatively sweet big white floral fragrance which opens with a huge blast of creamy tuberose and dries down to a somewhat sterner gardenia-jasmine scent.

The longevity and sillage of this edt are quasi-infinite, as we have come to expect from synthetic white floral compositions such as this one evidently is. The usual caveat--potential headache alert--is therefore in order: one application suffices; two will transform what was relatively nice into a sure source of strife for either the wearer or those in the immediate vicinity--or both!

My cat dislikes this frag.

When I was younger I really liked this scent! Now it's a little too floral and powdery for me. I'm actually starting to dread it.

Floral and sweet. I like this for day or not. I can never finish the big bottles tho..I get tired of it. You have to buy this on Ebay now..!

lol love it

My mom really loved B&BW gardenia scent. I was hoping to get that for her birthday. Too bad its discontinued, its the only scent she loves and wears it everyday. Wish they put it back in stores together with night-blooming jasmine, I love that scent!

BBW Gardenia is a heavenly fragrance if you like the thought of a fresh dewy morning and the laughter of children.
Enlivens my spirits on a gloomy day.
Long lasting and soft. My teenage kid likes it so much!A must try!

Like Hockee, I expected more gardenia - a gardenia single note, even. However, it was a blast of semi-synthetic white flowers and nondescript fruits. I guess that's all one can expect from B&BW though.

This was a favorite of mine back in 2006-2007. It was a very strong floral, with back notes of sandalwood and softer florals. I detected a hint of lavander, but maybe that's just me. I loved this scent. Very classic and somewhat old-fashioned.

I enjoyed this scent. I was expecting more of a gardenia scent which I like (given the name), but it is sweeter than that. However, it is not a floral sweet, but more of a fruity sweet. It really lasts, which is surprising for a cologne. If you are a true gardenia fan and expect more of a dry scent, you might be a little disappointed.
