I am writing about this again because I feel my first review didn't do it justice. As I am wearing it more during the spring I am remembering more of how it develops on the skin.

The original MJ is very green and has a semi-bitter/tart edge to it. Very modern and edgy in itself. Essence has a more floral side to it, there is a lighter air to it having a more whimsical creamy edge to it. I find it softer, but it resembles the original. It might be a waste to have 2 scents that are similar, but I think people can tell the mood I am in by which one I wear. When I am in a good mood the light gardenia, iris, and orange blossom are so prodominate making me feel fresh and happy. When I am feeling a little edgier I wear the original where I feel modern and sharp, kind of a I mean business scent. They are both similar but speak completely differently to me.

This is light and floral. It blends down to a prominent gardenia scent but its not overpowering. I tend to not like perfumes that are too floral, I don't want to be a walking garden. This is perfect to be best described it is the essence of the original marc jacobs lighter.

The smell of "Essence" is like "Marc Jacobs". It is a light and acceptable perfume, but not creamy, not candy-like sweet! The differences between Essence and Marc Jacobs are people's feeling of perfume and the descriptions of both smell.
Marc Jacobs is like a elegant young lady who works in office. Essence is like a graceful graduate student in University. Marc Jacobs is more matured than Essence, though both of these are young style perfumes.
The gardenia and jasmine note in Marc Jacobs is stronger than that in Essence. From the experiences of my friends, people who don't like the white floral note, they might not accept Marc Jacobs. But they may accept Essence.
Although Essence is light, it doesn't fit for using in summer.

Was wondering if anyone has anything more to say about this perfume...? I am seriously considering buying this because I like Marc Jacobs "Marc Jacobs" but want something more creamy, not so light and more like real gardenia scent. I am a huge fan of gardenia, but have failed to find a good gardenia fragrance. Is it anything like Flowerbomb, by the way?

I have this lotion and it is wonderful. The scent is a lot like the original Marc Jacobs, but much more creamy. If you love the smell of gardenia, you will definitely love this fragrance.

The benzoin in the first phase of this scent is like a nostril opener. It grabs your attention to the gardenia and it stays that way thru most of it's application. The dry-down is what I don't like in that you can smell the alcohol and that sort of takes away from the composition of what might be an elegant gardenia perfume. Chanel, Trish Mcevoy, Apothia, Jo Malone, and Susanne Lang all do a better gardenia, so look into those if you have a lemming for an interesting white floral.
