Wristsniffer

This scent is, by far, one of the best gardenia soliflores on the market today. That said, it's nothing I can handle wearing. I really do like gardenia accords and can appreciate them in nearly any composition but the flower in this scent is a bit overwhelming. If you can't get enough gardenia, you simply must try this one. It's so intense that the gardenia notes begin, toward the drydown, to take on a fruit-punchy sort of structure; the perfumer surely wanted to be certain that the flower's aroma didn't fade and so he amplified it beyond what I'd consider wearable.

As I mentioned, if you're a gardenia fiend, seek this one out and give it a try. If, however, like me, you merely aim to dabble in the white floral accord, preferring to smell it blended with other, complementing accords; I'd recommend Estee Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia, or Tom Ford Black Orchid Voile de Fleur, instead.

very similar to Gucci by Gucci, but shorter lasting and way more expensive.

Multi layered, richly developing, complex and elegant. It is tartly sweet on my skin and definitely has true Gardenia notes. A spectacular white floral, very much a velvet white flower with fruit notes, drying down to mostly labdanum. I wish I liked white florals a little more.

I found this description:(floral) with notes of black gardenia, orange, jasmine, rose muguet, tuberose, dark plum, honey, beeswax, incense, and labdanum.

When I first put it on, it was all gardenia. I'm not fond of florals on myself, and with the gardenia scent this strong, I instantly disliked it. After wearing it a while, the gardenia has softened, but is still very much there. I'm not picking up on the other notes, but perhaps they are what's making me think the gardenia is softer now.
