I wish it were different....
....... and I could say: Pooh, the scent leaves me totally cold and does not arouse any desire. But no, so easily my madness to buy a sample for 24 Euro (!) will not be forgiven.
Already the opening is overwhelming: It smells at the same time flowery, spicy, citric, bitter, sweet. WHOA! It blows my nose free into the furthest corner of my sensory organ. After a short time "Gardenia" becomes more and more flowery. How does the fragrance manage to be merely, opulent, but not overblown, overwhelming, but not penetrating, room-filling, but not overwhelming? I can't see any single component apart from anything resinous-herbaceous and anything spicy (clove? cinnamon? star anise?). It's a perfect flower miracle! It may sound stupid, but "Gardenia" for me is not white, but orange amber and glows. And yes, it is a perfectly formed, fully blossomed gardenia at the height of its beauty and fragrance!
Well, what do I do now? Unfortunately, I didn't know the Rojas were so expensive! Today in the morning I have already examined my collection with a strict eye and have calculated in thoughts from different perfumes quasi the financing in the far future. Let's see, maybe I'm lucky and until then my smell changes completely. But in the meantime I have decided to keep the little one until the round birthday of my husband, who is just around the corner, and then to give "Gardenia" the big performance he deserves!
