Deep and layered

Got a sample of this from Ministry of Scent and so sad I'm late to the party. This reminds me of when I worked at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Very wearable and the only white floral/gardenia I've liked so far. Tea scents and fig are my favorite notes, so this was bound to be a winner. Lasted at least 6 hours on my skin (lost track of time a little) but would do desperate things to get my hands on a full bottle and keep this front and center in my collection.

Skynet's gardenia

Ineke’s Hot House Flower is a gardenia soliflore that smells like a cybernetic tropical bloom, green foliage that has become self-aware, and the simulation of lushness accompanied by cool circuitry. Like if Skynet’s neural networks got hooked on plant haul videos on YouTube and went into botany instead of killer robots.

Tea for one

Such a good, detailed review by Franfan20 ! It made me think twice about what I intended to write, since the tea fragrances are an aquired tase. But I could not shake away my first impressions, no matter the admirable longevity that I seek in a scent. And here is how I feel this perfume:
A cup of tea in the solitude of a shadowed spot of a green square, maybe a vegetable garden, maybe a corner of a japaneese garden, without visible flowers, just the scent of tea and guiacwood everywhere. Now and then you look around in search of the fig tree since you think you smelled its aroma in the air. Maybe I was wrong; there was not a fig that I had smelled. Maybe I should look for someone wearing a gardenia on the corsage because I smelled just a little bit of gardenia. Could not discover it. And I sit alone with my cup of tea. I do not like to be alone!
This kind of perfume is an aquired taste but it is not my "cup of tea".
