I do not have too much to say about this fragrance other than that it is stunningly beautiful in the top notes. It is still nice in the dry down, but the main beauty lay in the too quickly faded top notes. It smells so fresh, realistic, and delicious, and it is actually quite sheer for this type of white floral, but the performance is poor.
Longevity, projection, and sillage leave much to be desired, unfortunately. If the beauty of those top notes hung around for a good while longer, I would award this fragrance ten out of ten stars. Because of the poor performance, I am giving it five stars overall. It performs much more like a cologne than an EdP, and I do not feel it merits VC&A’s price point. This fragrance is utterly gorgeous but fleeting.
Fragrance: 10/10 for the top notes. 5/10 for the rest of the notes.
Longevity: 5/10
Sillage: 5/10
Projection: 5/10

At first it’s a wonderful round jasmine floral, then in about two hours it’s a thin jasmine floral. It reminds me a little bit of these little ceramic potted wax fragrances that were everywhere for a while in the early to mid 90s, very upscale hippie. But it’s a bit thin and expensive for only nostalgia. Pretty, though.

Perfection on another level. So feminine, so soft, so remembering. I love this smell

Soliflore Gardenia. Not too much indole, which is anathema for me, so that’s nice, but don’t care for my gardenia to be so simple either. For Gardenia lovers only. Simple, linear, clean.

I had my eye on that one for a while, after sampling it I just wanted a bottle. I luckily bought one at 45% off, a great deal!! I find it elegant, high quality scent, it starts off with a certain soapiness.spiciness combination , which is fine, then the dry down looses that first stage and becomes simply floral, not overdone, not underdone
I don’t find it easy to war, I like Max Mara better as Gardenia Petale at times is like a luxury soap with cloves!!!

This does not smell like the gardenia flower nor is it a close (or good) rendition of the scent.
The top green/bergamont/citrusy notes are alright.
There is a beautiful jasmine that flows throughout the entire composition but is drowning in the heavy and nauseating chemically musky/floral base.
Try Chanel Gardenia.

Boy, I REALLY wanted to love this one. In fact, I nearly bought a bottle of it unsniffed so taken was I by the add copy and the glorious reviews. That’s why God invented sampling programs. Gardenia Petale opens up with a rather stringent green note. I’m a big fan of greens in general and galbanum in particular so that doesn’t really scare me. There was a rather nagging insistence to this green note which made me a little worried but within twenty minutes the perfume settled into its gorgeous stage. Creamy gardenia started to peek through and the sensation was absolutely one of sitting in a gorgeous garden in the height of summer in the afternoon. There is no cloying sugary gardenia note, but instead the sense of the whole plant; its thick white petals and lustrous dark green leaves. A sense of freshness surrounds the whole composition at that stage, such as the way air cools noticeably when you ride your bicycle next to a large field of grass. If this stage lasted, I would have plonked down the credit card and bough myself gallons of the stuff.
Ah, but no. Within an hour or so, what I’ll call The Gorgeous Stage, leaves and the Overbearing Pedestrian Stage appears. A sweet vanilla in a base of something very synthetic, very cloying, and very tenacious appears and never lets go. Now, I should say that this base reminds me of every Estee Lauder base I’ve smelled from Pleasures/Beautiful category. If you love this type of perfumery, you may love this scent. To me, it kills it.
As noted above, lasting power is excellent and this is a sillage queen. One small spritz lasted well over 12 hours on my skin. This fragrance also has the potential to be a real oxygen-sucker so spritz lightly (see above re sillage queen).
You know how reformulations are always seen as the doomsday of a scent? I’d love to see a reformulation of this one where a perfumer took the middle part, lost the vanilla and the base, and lightened the touch on the whole composition. Then it would be a strong contender for a lovely gardenia scent. Until then, no go.

Absolutely Lovely.
A creamy but fresh gardenia, not synthetic as all…not cloying as in ELPC Tuberose Gardenia, just to make an example.
it is really well balanced and opens with a fresh note of neroli.
The heart, besides the very realistic gardenia is a jasmine, is lily of the valley (one of my favourite notes!!).
Excellent sillage a d decent lasting power (up to 3 hours).
Expensive (120 Euros a bottle, here) but if you can shell the money out, get it, it will become a classic.

This is just plain lovely. Sweet, but not cloying. Light green, but not sharp. Slight spring of citrus in the opening, then folds down into a blanket of warm and curvy gardenia and soft white flowers. Luscious, but also fresh enough for a day-time fragrance. Moderate sillage, not overpowering. Love the vanilla in the drydown, too. Mmmm….just bought a bottle, and I’m in love.

I was so excited to try this fragrance so my husband bought it for me for Mother’s Day. I did not have a chance to smell and sample it before he purchased it in Seattle because they do not sell it in Portland. The gesture was sweet but the fragrance did not meet my expectations (or his). He really wanted to like it because of the price ($185)! The sheer scent starts off with lily of the valley and turns a little mushroomy as jasmine floats in and out of it. That’s about it!! NO gardenia (I KNOW gardenia)! This is a mostly pretty scent, the bottle is generic, and this will be returned! I gave this many opportunities and developed a migraine almost every time.
