    I do not get the bad rewiews, either! SMN Gardenia is a nice fresh water that smells exactly like gardenias (at least in my sample). It is a tad sweeter than, say, YR Pur Désir de Gardénia...

    I really don't know why this gets bad reviews. It *can't* be that it doesn't smell like gardenias; Chanel Gardenia (which smells *nothing* like gardenias to me) gets rave reviews. This smells...

    Blechhhh!!! So far I've loved the SMN lines, found them true to life and gorgeous (especially mughetto, zagara (orangeflower) and caprifoglio(honeysuckle). Thus, I was hoping for soft, creamy...

    I thought this was a lovely strong version of sun warmed gardenias. However I disliked the drydown because it was so heavy on the greens. It just gets greener and greener as time ticks by. I...

    Not my fave gardenia but I'll say it's a unique gardenia. I agree with members below who say it doesn't smell like true gardenia; to me it's a rather sharply green, powdery interpretation. In...

    I love this gardenia. For me, the scent from the bottle resembles tuberose; upon application the scent is lily of the valley-like, the dry-down presents a beautiful, true gardenia. I love to use it...

    I agree, it smelled nothing like any gardenia I have ever smelled and PLUS it lasted on me for about 10 minutes. Not one I would purchase, I will stick with AG Gardenia Passion for my gardenia fix.
