Deductions in the B-Note
..I unfortunately have to give here.
The scent does convince me, it is a light and delicate gardenia fragrance.
The way the galbanum is used in the top note I find innovative and successful. It is subtle and creates a bit of freshness, so that I imagine a bud just blooming.
As it develops, a creamy gardenia comes in, but that's about it.
After an hour, the scent is no longer perceivable. I find that unacceptable for the price. It should be in a slightly stronger concentration, and the sillage would be better then. I tested it three times and even applied more the third time, but only from a sample to dab. Maybe it is a bit stronger when sprayed, but that’s not enough.
Scent: successful, also fits the title or the inspiration
Longevity: not worth mentioning, my body oil lasts longer

I feel the same way, unfortunately, with several fragrances from MCG. She manages to sprinkle fleeting fairies and sparkling stars into the aura. This has resulted in very tender scents, enchanting yet not really tangible or present.

I fell in love with this scent on a whim. However, I was also disappointed afterward regarding its longevity and sillage. Unfortunately, it doesn't match the price.
