Marc Jacobs Splash Gardenia Marc Jacobs for women

A summer beauty! Light, green, sweet and musky! I love the fact that it comes in a huge bottle as well. Splash it on or spray it on - it's just so perfect for hot and humid climates. Very refreshing, and the musk isn't so musky that it's cloying. It's perfect for daywear and is inoffensive, so it's very work friendly.

MARC JACOBS – SPLASH GARDENIA MIST

This is the one of the most beautiful and ethereally delicate white floral aquatic greens I have ever encountered. It’s like meditating in a moist tropical garden on a misty morning just after an early spring rain shower. Juicy ripe clementines and subtle yuzu mingle with dew drenched, silky smooth greens seamlessly blended into bewitchingly heady gardenia blossoms and tranquil water lilies with everything resting on an understated base of elegantly clean musk.

This composition has not a trace of soapiness in the flowers, acridity in the citrus, or sharpness in the greens. No overdone animalics to impart any pungency. Not a bit of cloying over-sweetness or foodiness. Absent any indoles or traces of overripe sourness in the fruit. This is perfectly balanced, impeccably pure, tenderly refined pristine floral splendor. Lasts 6-7 hours in unobtrusively sophisticated zen-like serenity on my skin.

I feel so lucky to derive the positive attributes from every single note in this gorgeous composition. I receive numerous compliments from both men and women when I wear it. Women ask to try it on their skin from my little travel spritzer. Men want to know what it is. My husband adores this one on me. I am absolutely enchanted by this gem.

This bottle is indeed huge - it is actually 300ml!! Very reasonably priced for the size - about $140 NZD (that makes around $100 USD). It is only EDT though so it may need some more liberal appliction. In so saying, I found it very long lasting on me.

About the scent - the top notes are very green. As it dries down it gets a bit softer. It's pretty linear - all about the gardenia, as expected. I found it very similar to Beyond Paradise (Estee Lauder).

i am usually a sucker for gardenia but won't be buying this one - it lack the softness and creaminess I look for in a white floral. This is way too green for me.

first i was dyin to try it but omg the drydown allmost made me wanna vomit! disgusting green notes and gardenia just doesnt do it for me

This is a very pretty gardenia scent!
The gardenia here is really green, transparent and delicate. I like it a lot.

Quite different from Osmo Scents Gardenia Royal by Il Profvmo. Not so intensive and dense, but also lasts long.

The bottle is huge! Somewhat 250 ml?! :)
