I was searching for a true fresh gardenia scent and thought Olivine from Olivine Atelier was the closest I could find, until I tried TF's Velvet Gardenia. I just had to purchase a full bottle...

Great full gardenia; however, the topnotes are pretty bad. They include that strange mentholated note I get once in a while with gardenia fragrances.

If this is gardenia, it should be banned from perfumery. Yes I know all of this is, and should be, subjective, but this is vile. When I read that it had a mushroom note, which to me is earthy...

This is an intense green/floral fragrance! The prominent notes are primarily jasmine and then gardenia but I also detect a somehow bitter note that does not really agree with me (beeswax?...

Velvet gardenia - a lovely gardenia topnote that doesn't stay too long on my skin . I don't get the blue cheese note nor the mushroom note but I get plenty of incense. It's an interesting perfume...

A true, lush blooming gardenia. It isn’t like many other self-claimed gardenia scents that are actually tuberose, this one is so true to the real flower. It has a quite sweet opening and a little...

I just recently tried all of these new masterpeices in perfumery art by Tom Ford. Velvet Gardenia is defnietly my favorite of them. Velvet Gardenia is by far the best interpretation of the...

Multi layered, richly developing, complex and elegant. It is tartly sweet on my skin and definitely has true Gardenia notes. However, it only gets four lippies, because I don't like it. I can't...

Negative experiences should also be shared, I think. I tried Velvet Gardenia in Paris recently, in warm weather (about 25 degrees Celcius). I had high hopes for it as I read so many positive...

A gorgeous, lush, very-true-to-the-living-blossom gardenia fragrance. I also think of this as a night blooming gardenia. It's sexy, sweet, cloying, siren-like & weaves a magical spell. A...

My new nighttime gardenia love. It's a lil rough & harsh for a minute, w/ a lot of tuberose & jasmin in the opening, but so nice after it settles. Develops into a gorgeous gardenia, & smells like...
