    What a let down. I LOVE Gardenia so I didn't think twice about ordering this unsniffed in the perfume oil. First off, it smells NOTHING like Gardenia and is VERY faint. More like a watered down...

    this doesn't smell a thing like gardenia, but it's not bad. white floral, not too interesting, and fades extremely quickly, but it's a pleasant scent. strikes me more of a freesia, maybe? it's ok.

    This is not gardenia. The opening note smells like synthetic honeysuckle. However it is quite sweet and fresh. The middle and base smells very strong and offensive. I smell the spicy "indian" part...

    I just got this on the spur of the moment a week ago, and have been wearing it every day. I love it. This is a true white floral in perfume oil form, very pure single note, uncomplicated and yet...

    I bought this in the perfume oil version. This smells like a combination of gardenia and Fabreze. I bought it to layer with some of my lotions that are too green and/or soapy (French Lime...

    I have not had much luck with TBS scents, but this scent is defintiely the exception. It is a delicate, slightly creamy gardenia that melts into my skin. It's not heady, or overpowering -- it has...

    I love gardenia but this one is not gardenia. It's only "indian". It smells like the Indian Take-way arround the corner - very disappointed.

    I spritzed this on while I was browsing in TBS. It is an average, perfumey floral. It smells light and fresh upon application, but dries down to something softer, sweeter and creamier. Almost...

    This is for the eau de parfum. Light & fresh fragrance; layers nicely with vanilla oil.
