Weird and wacky gardenia
First things first, Epic Gardenia is not a soliflore, nor is it particularly flowery. Despite a rather unique opening, there is a lot to like about Epic Gardenia, even if it is a little strange.
It has quite a prominent medicinal and chemical smell. You will either enjoy it or find it repulsive. I love that Epic Gardenia is open to interpretation. Its complexity is part of its allure.
On my skin, it's a sharp, antiseptic scent, not unlike calamine lotion. It's also a tad earthy and green. Gardenia does feature, providing a subtle, buttery smoothness underneath all the crazy accords. I probably wouldn't wear this fragrance to impress, as it's not something that everyone will enjoy.
I like that Epic Gardenia doesn't conform to the norm. Its unique approach is refreshing, and strangely beautiful on the skin. This fragrance is what I'd imagine Thierry Mugler would come up with if left to tackle gardenia. It's wild, risky, modern and extra-terrestrial.
Other than medicinal and buttery gardenia, I can also detect citrusy bergamot, musk and an animalic note, that could be either natural indoles or dank, smoky green notes. The overall blend is mysterious and memorable.
I actually really enjoy Epic Gardenia, but I can never find the occasion to wear it. On my skin, the longevity is good and the sillage wears quite strongly. Not quiet at all. I'm impressed, and that's coming from a girl that likes polite and basic white florals.
