    So..i don't know my fragrance notes too well..but is gardenia supposed to be this sweet?..This smells just like Kai to me..and I'm not a fan of that either. I'll stick w/ my Bath and Body Works...

    Smells like powder. Once in awhile I get a whiff of true gardenia in the background but only for fleeting moments, but mostly it is sickeningly sweet.

    My favorite gardenia fragrances have always been Annick Goutal's smoky and sultry Gardenia Passion and Yves Rocher light and sweet Pur Desir de Gardenia. Perfect Gardenia is a combo of the two...

    Not a great scent for me. It does last a long time... -But the white flower (gardenia/tuberose) note isn't very prominent. On me this has a warm, resinous note that hits hard at the beginning and...

    I wouldn’t call it perfect but it’s a lovely Gardenia. I agree that this smells wonderful and lush while it is still wet on the skin. When it dries down, it’s a very pretty gardenia--creamy and...

    Perhaps I am just floral identidy challenged, but I find this perfect all right...a perfect tuberose! Seriously, this is a sweet pure tuberose scent to me...sorta candyish, sort of sweet. This is...

    I love the smell of gardenias and Perfect Gardenia smells very true to the flower...that is while it's still wet. The drydown on me was very smokey-not in a cigarette way, but more like a...

    I have a strange history with gardenia scents. For some reason, Kai turned a bit on my skin (oils do not do well on me ). Monyette Paris was awful on me. It seemed that I loved Gardenia, but it did...

    This is a beautiful floral scent. It is a lighter gardenia, which is a pleasant surprise. It reminds me of Kai, but is less 'fresh' or 'green' smelling. It is a cleaner gardenia smell than...

    Hmmm. Many of the reviews here liken this to a "true" gardenia fragrance, but I found it much sweeter than the actual flower. This is not a heady gardenia scent, but it's not fresh, either....

    This smells like Gardenia, and its very nice. For me, it works best layered with a vanilla. L'Artisan Vanilla, to be specific, although I think it would be good with Creative's Perfect Vanilla or...

    I tried to love this scent, but it is just too heavy for me. The vanilla element is too much. I have trouble with florals in the first place, and when I wear them I prefer them to be fresher and...

    This is a true Gardenia scent. It is very floral and heavy. I can't wear strong florals, so this scent is out of the question for me.

    I agree that this Gardenia is very true to the flower. With a very pure, clean note. I feel like I'm back in Hawaii when I smell it. I found it to be quite long-lasting too. Great for Gardenia lovers.

    Gardenia is true to the flower(if just a bit too sweet) and, according to Who's the Fairest?, it has supporting notes of vanilla, musk, bergamot and freesia. The scent is lush without being...
