Real talk
Some gardenias smell like perfume. This one smells like the flower itself, natural, effortless, broad-smiled. It's the kind of white floral that gets worn for decades because it never stops feeling.Gardenia
This is a pure floral with no conventional base to anchor it, so expect moderate longevity and sillage. It's perfect for intimate moments or a subtle personal indulgence.Mimosa
