Illuminum white gardenia petals where to buy

They smelled nothing alike. The original sample from London still smelt wonderful and the Lucky Scent version smelt awful, smelling worse after a minute or two. I am not sure whether the perfume has been reformulated or whether it had gone off.

I live in South Florida and its mid summer and the bottle arrived hot. I don't know what happened but this was not the same scent as the original sample that I bought from the UK right after the Royal Wedding. I like it. And really, I don't get the bad reviews. I mean okay, if you're expecting a true gardenia scent, then I understand… this is not that. But it is nice for what it is, which is exactly what the name suggests: the scent of but a few petals.

It's not necessarily delicate, nor is it green. It's more of a clean and subtly sweet, light white floral scent with low sillage and moderate longevity that is seasonless likely to be appropriate for any situation, at any time of day. It's pretty enough that, to me at least, it's not at all boring, but yes, I can agree that it's not going to win any medals for originality. In a nutshell, I'd say that if you're a true perfume lover who loves bold and complex scents, you won't be pleased.

But if you're just someone looking for something that smells nice, feminine and somewhat floral, it's worth a try. Amazing perfume!!!!! I live last 2 hours in the cloud of divine flowers and dreams Before this my favorite was Portrait of a Lady by Frderic Malle and now this one is new star It is very clean and elegant fragrance. I discovered that gardenia works very well with my skin chemistry.

Love it! I really like this perfume. It is so light and soft and not overbearing. It has a scent that changes over time while wearing it. I also agree with some of the comments about the "soapy" smell after it dries down-but I really like the delicate softness which makes this so different from other perfumes I have ever tired.

It may not be for everyone but it is a demure scent! Also, I am so happy with the free sample fragrances sent to me - they picked out what I had wanted to try I realize this may not be everyone's cup of tea; it's not a luscious, meaty Gardenia like you'll find in some of the more well-known Gardenia-themed perfumes, but it is a gardenia with a wonderful spring in her step.

I actually like the lift the lily gives to the gardenia. This is a breezy fragrance, and I find it very easy to wear. The challenging part is that this DOES walk a very fine line between natural and artificial smelling. I can understand the references to hairspray, but luckily I like this very much on me, and it doesn't veer too close to hairspray territory on my skin. Absolutly beautiful. Very clean and delicate. There are so many wonderful notes to this fragrance,noticable with your body movement.

So glad I tried this as a sample will definately invest in this. At first, sorry if my english is not verry well. I tried this fragance because princess catherine wore it at wedding. And I love it! It's very fresh and discrete. It's looks like the princess. A negative point, it give me a little headache But it's very great! I'm glad I tried the sample first. The similarity to "hairspray" that so many others have mentioned is absolutely correct.

It smells like a sweet, musk-like hairspray. I absolutely love this! It's gardenia, not too sweet and sticky. Please folks, if you truly love gardenia as l do , try before you buy! I absolutely love this - I ordered the sample first, and then splurged on a full bottle. This is very different than my usual 'go to' scent, which M Micallef's Note Vanilee. Something about this particular fragrance is just so fresh, pretty and elegant all at the same time.

I love it and have received compliments on it, always a good thing! Tuberose and a hint of coconut, but as it dries down there is a freshness that keeps the overall fragrance from becoming cloying and annoying.

Sweet, creamy floral with a nice soft base. I like this, but it should be called Tuberose Petals. This is very interesting, rather a blend of gardenia and powder. It's grown on me--first I thought, "If I want to smell like gardenia, I'll wear gardenia like Kai , and if I want to wear powder ie white musk , I'll wear "powder" for me, Il Profumo Musc Bleu, which is right-out-of-the-shower heaven.

But then, I figured out this dries to rather a sweet, LIGHT gardenia, so if you want a gardenia that smells much less "heavy", this could be it.

I agree with a former reviewer that it would be lovely on a young woman, early 30's, but I'm 44 and it also works beautifully on a woman of any age when, like me, you live in a hot climate and the heavy, strong scents either reek, don't work on you, or are nauseating in the heat. Excellent choice by the Duchess--it would make for a gorgeous wedding scent, too. Pretty and fresh Load More Reviews. Add Me! JavaScript seems to be disabled in your browser.
