Gardenia-Champaca-Magnolia: who knew?
I have encountered only one other gardenia-champaca-magnolia perfume, Annick Goutal UN MATIN D'ORAGE, which by some sort of cosmic coincidence, I tested only shortly before this one: Lucy B TROPICAL GARDENIA.
The notes revealed in the gushing prose of my carded sample are these:
top: champaca, magnolia
middle: vanilla blossom and honey amber
I gather from the name, and the scent, that gardenia is in here somewhere, too!
TROPICAL GARDENIA is really quite lovely, less sharp and spicy than the Annick Goutal gardenia-champaca-magnolia perfume, and just a touch sweeter. This is a creamy floral delight, with less gardenia, and more of a tropical vibe. I like this relatively linear creation with medium sillage and decent longevity a lot, and can definitely see acquiring a full bottle under the right circumstances (retail therapy, reckless spending, self-induced amnesia as to the current extent of my collection--the list goes on and on... (-:)
