Gardenias and Fruits
Kankuro has already appreciated and commented on the fragrance.
In my eyes, while this is a good scent, I would prefer a true emerald instead. This perfume name suggests a noble drop and a hint of green fragrance notes.
Well, the perfume may be noble, but at this price, I do not find the scent justified. I am initially surrounded by a wild floral potpourri and then a lush fruit cocktail. At first, the gardenia stands out very prominently for me and then glides into a creamy iris.
The longer time passes, the better the scent becomes. There is no sweetness in it, instead, a complex floral-fruit interplay.
Despite all the good in the scent, it fails to convince me and captivate me. I miss uniqueness. I probably would not recognize this scent if someone were to wear it. I find that very unfortunate, as I appreciate a signature in fragrances.
For me, the fragrance notes (flowers, fruits) are divided into two too strong camps. I would have preferred one camp to subordinate to the other. That would be more pleasant for me.
I would like to recommend the scent to all gardenia fans, as this little flower remains present throughout the fragrance. It is more of a women's scent for adults. It smells expensive and good, but is just a bit too gardenia-heavy.
P.S.: Thank you Kankuro for the sample

Yes, you're right, it's very gardenia-heavy. I don't really perceive the fruits; it's quite floral for me, and unfortunately, over time it also becomes quite soapy.
