Gardenia
Gardenia opens on a juicy mix of pink grapefruit and peach — bright, slightly tropical — softened immediately by jasmine, which sets up the floral heart rather than dominating it.

Gardenia itself takes over the middle: creamy and slightly indolic, supported by tuberose and freesia for depth, with a dab of vanilla and heliotrope smoothing the edges. The base stays in the same warm register — coconut and sandalwood under a clean musk — keeping the bouquet from getting heavy.
A sunny, white-floral body mist with the round, slightly milky finish that the BBW gardenia signature is built around. Good for spring through early fall, casual wear.
