I’m in love with this scent profile. Does it smell just like a Gardenia? Not so much. It does however smell just like (to my memory) one of the best smelling incense stick bundles I’ve ever smelled. It was called “voyager” and it was a 6th grade purchase I made from a wooden cart at a renaissance faire almost 30 years ago. Hey, we all had an incense phase when we were kids at some point. It’s worth it, at under 25 bucks.. I plan on buying it for myself. It’s not sweet or powdery, or too feminine. It’s creamy, and stemmy, and interesting, and could be worn by a man. How do I know? Because I’m a man who plans on wearing it.….and I don’t give two craps about gender marketed fragrances.
If you want to smell like a gardenia, try the Flowers for men Gardenia by Neil Morris (he has great prices on his perfume samples), or the discontinued Gardenia perfume by Bath and Body Works.
