I totally agree with reviewer rljp below. A very soft-non heady gardenia which is not offensive but at the same time makes a statement. One of the prettiest gardenia fragrances I own. As it is not loud or cloying, this scent is suitable for all occasions and perfect for the office and hot weather.

This smells nothing like gardenia- it's a green fresh pulpy mess with sandalwood. Disappointing. Not worth it.

I reach for my beloved gardenia scents in the spring and summer.
Loving the PG line, I just knew this would be the *perfect* gardenia scent. The opening on this is a flawless gardenia, absolutely heavenly. As it settles on me the sandalwood is on with a vengence! I adore sandalwood with certain notes, however, this became over powering with the dreaded *pickle* note that I can get with some scents containing sandalwood. Too bad really, because the first 3-5 minutes of this one is gorgeous. This is not a thin or watery, nor is it heavy, very well made. If sandalwood does not turn on you, definitely give this one a try!

This is by far, the softest gardenia notes I have ever stumbled upon. It's so light and feathery, but make no mistake, that's not to say it's not lethal... this will surely make an impact on the gentleman sitting besides you. This can induce a weak in the knees sensation. I love this scent and with the sandalwood, it softens it further. When I wear this I feel as if I'm transformed to Paris, it's the evening a bit humid and I'm wearing a formal silk gown with taffeta and lace and I'm waiting for my handsome date to arrive. I'm sorry for the visuals and fantasy, but this scent is quite magical in a subtle way. The perfume maker for this line of exquisite scents is amazing, he's incredibly skillful.
