Is the Gardenia available in stores now really the same fragrance that Chanel came out with in the 20s? I have to wonder. The current Gardenia smells just like the scent of a fresh garden wafting...

Love, love, love this fragrance! That cheap, synthetic, cloying crap from Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors doesn't hold a candle to this Gardenia (which apparently, isn't true gardenia, but smells...

It's not REAL gardenia. When Ernest Beaux created Gardenia in the 20's, gardenia was too expensive to be shipped from Asia to Europe and made it almost impossible to be used in any perfume then. So...

This is the freshest cleanest gardenia scents you'll ever find. Many gardenia scents I've tried such as michael by miachael kors and pleasures by estee lauder are too cloying and make you a little...

Ok, I got a sample in a swap and put it on my wrist, sniffed and this immediately went to the top of my "must buy a bottle" list. My husband agreed so he bought me the parfum version for Mother's...

I know this is by CHANEL and it's limited edition and all... so we are all supposed to genuflect in awe, BUT this STANKS! Smells just like Charmin toilet paper and does not last. Marc Jacobs wins...

Ok, so I just tried a sample after waiting forEVER and plan on buying the parfum. It's a very subtle floral. It's more floral, less vomit inducing than Marc Jacobs' version. To me it's a very...

One of the more "likable" Chanels, in that I would buy it as a gift for someone whose taste I wasn't sure of but I knew liked feminine scents. However, I find this one of the least complex...

Chanel is a great brand. It carries a name like no other brand. Well I do love Chanel lip glosses etc, but I have never had luck with their perfumes. That is until I found Chanel Gardenia while on...
