Lovely Gardenia Fragrance
Sprayed at 7:40am
A rich gardenia comes through immediately, but at initial spray I also got a strong herbal note… kind of like basil or thyme. However that has faded into what I think is the sweet, green notes characteristic to Gardenia. Once it has dried, the projection is pretty strong. I never really comment on sillage (since I can’t tell if a scent is being left behind when I’m testing alone), but I could imagine this leaving quite a trail. I’m not sure how I feel about that though since I prefer my fragrances to be more intimate.
By 45 min in the sweetness inherent in gardenia has come to the forefront. I’m honestly not getting much other than gardenia, though it’s very pleasant.
By 9:30 there’s not much projection, but it is still perceptible from up close. It remains a true gardenia scent and hasn’t evolved much from the first dry down. Does that make it a linear scent?
For a $22 perfume, I think this is lovely and performed decently well. It has also made me realize that gardenia is a floral note I quite like. I just think I’d like to find a more complex gardenia fragrance to invest in. I’ll hold on to the sample for future reference though.
