Beautiful scent, elegant but soft and fresh. Yes exactly, as if you just plucked a gardenia and put it in your hair. A beautiful description by ruby tea roses.<br><br> This is truly a Chanel scent....

Chanel Gardenia Parfum is beautiful! Smells like an actual fresh flower. You know how when you're outside and you stoop down and actually pick a flower from the ground and put it up to your nose...

A very feminine scent.. It surprised me because it lacked the heavy signature most Chanel fragrances have. A true gardenia comes out in the top notes and it has an impressive staying power for...

Quietly sophisticated, elegant, even a touch nostalgic. I love this exquisite blend of jasmine, green leaves and vanilla. It wears so well and its lightness makes it quite suitable for today's...

This is an elegant creamy floral, easy to wear (easier than other Chanels). Gardenia, rose and jasmin. Very feminine.

Gardenia is Chanels signature creamy floral, light enough for a hot summer day, but feminine enough to get dolled up for. There really is no way they could top this for its distinct tenderness....

I too wanted to love Chanel Gardenia and went through a whole bottle. It smelled nice on me and I smell alot of the gardenia scent (real or not) but was not worth the $75.00 I paid for it. Faded...

This just might be my next gardenia frag. If Yves Roucher's Gardenia is like a liquified gardenia corsage, Chanel's is like a liquid version of their gardenia-with-the-black-bow motif: elegant and...

This is my signature scent. I am a creature of habit. I have been wearing this since I was 16 years old. The French formula is significantly richer than the version that is available in the US, but...

This is for the EDT: Gardenia is a nostalgic fragrance which reminds me of being a little girl being around ladies with blonde chignons, black dresses, and pearls. A whif from the bottle takes me...

A very beautiful light creamy bouquet of rose jasmin and gardenia (the artificial kind though according to the SA at Chanel). This scent is very similar to Penhaligon's Ellenisia- in fact I would...

I like this scent a lot - the first Chanel I really can actually wear: Chance, Allure, etc. all smell very cloying and artificial on me. This is a fresh, green soft white floral with a warm...

This is absolutely beautiful, but I have to agree that it is more jasmine and tuberose than gardenia. However, as it has been said, this is a very light and airy jasmine and tuberose. That’s quite...

I love gardenia scents and consider this one my "green gardenia" fragrance. It's pretty and always in good taste. I wouldn't call it exceptional but it is pretty enough.

I have tried and tried and tried to wear this one and I simply cannot like it. It's my absolute least favorite Chanel. It's a shriekingly screechy floral. It hurts my head. And it reminds me of...

EDITED to say that I've given this another chance and it really does smell elegant and lovely. I think I got carried away by my initial impression. After 2 minutes it doesn't smell like wooden...

I love this fragrance…and I didn’t at first. It smelled familiar to me the first time I smelled it – not identical to, but similar to lots of other scents out there – and because of that it struck...

I'm on the fence with this one. Upon inital application this scent is a gorgeous, sophisticated, expensive-smelling floral. After twenty minutes, on me this dried down to a soapy smell, like the...
