    This is a most unusual perfume. It is definitely gardenia with smoky topnotes, that in my opinion is what makes this so different. I gave it a four lippie b/c I find that this doesn't last very...

    Bought this decades ago and have always loved the soft, unusual rendition of gardenia- oddly, more authentic than any other out there. My only complaint is that "celery" note that shows up in most...

    I love this smell but I just cannot seem to get it to stick to me. It fades to a gentle green scent on me and just doesn't last or have the strenght to stick out in a sea of stronger scents. ...

    First of all, I LOVE AG bottles/packaging, they are so pretty. Gardenia Passion is the first AG frag I've ever sampled and it is delightful, so feminine and lovely. Unfortunetly, it doesn't last...

    Beautiful, fragrant, fresh, romantic floral. It's not a straight ahead gardenia. I also smell tuberose and jasmine. Gardenia is a notoriously difficult floral to capture and this scent does it...

    Hate the name, but love the fragrance! The name actually put me off from trying the scent(silly me--book and it's cover, right). I've had the little spray sample for at least a year before trying...

    The reviews here are pretty split-- the first page expressing disappointment, and the second page just a bit more positive. I agree with the more recent reviewers that AG Gardenia Passion is more...

    This is not a Gardenia scent, I find. Rather a tuberose one with a smoky dry down. I mostly associate it with the Fracas tuberose category. Not fresh, for sure , a bit bitter in the drydown, can...

    Gotta agree with a previous reviewer's opinion: cloying, overly sweet and somehow artificial or "not fresh". I've been trying lots of florals lately that hit me with a sickly sweet opening, this is...

    This has been my absolute favorite fragrance for years and I am usually very fickle with perfumes. Often gardenia fragrances are cloying and synthetic smelling but for me this is as close to...

    Love this fragrance as does my husband but is not for the faint hearted as it can be a bit overpowering. I prefer this in the EDP version as the EDT does not last nearly as long. If you like...

    My opinion of this perfume has changed. Years ago, my mother discovered this and went nuts over it. She bought me a large bottle and I never used it. Out of the blue, I decided that it smelled...

    Very evocative of another era - wide porches, hoop skirts, fragrant cigars wafting across the air mingling with the heady flowers from the garden. Did I say heady? Yes, extremely so. Like being...

    I guess I don’t like gardenia. I didn’t like this one. I don’t know what else to say except it made me feel physically ill :-(

    I bought a sampler of Annick Goutal perfumes with my first ever paycheck. Gardenia Passion was my favorite. It reminds me of the Gardenia perfume my Grandma brought back with her from Hawaii....

    I adore any gardenia fragrance, and thought this one was merely ok; not all Gardenia fragrances are created equal. I got this in a mini version on Ebay, luckily before I bought the full sized...

    Beautiful, fresh, and happy. This smells exactly like my gardenias in full bloom, as the scent mixes with jasmine in the night air. There's a hint of orange blossom, but the gardenia note remains...

    Le yuck. On me, Gardenia Passion starts out as chokingly loud flowers (which might or might not be gardenia), then dries down to a sickly sweet funeral-parlour fragrance. Sadly, this one's not...
