By the editors · 2 min readGardenia opens with a creamy, lush white floral impression that is sweet and slightly tropical. Raspberry and pink pepper introduce a fruity, berry-like sweetness with a subtle peppery sparkle in the heart. Heliotrope and violet create a dominant powdery and almond-like accord that is soft and nostalgic. Vanilla and praline contribute a gourmand sweetness, making the dry-down creamy and dessert-like with a candied nuance. Ambrette seed adds a musky, skin-salient quality that enhances wearability. The scent is linear and sweet, with moderate projection that stays intimate, best for cool weather daytime or special occasions.
