Very much like Jungle Gardenia -- heady, powerful and girly. Very close to the real scent of the flowers.

What everyone has been saying about this gardenia fragrance is true - it is the most faithful representation of the living gardenia blossom's fragrance out there. Unfortunately, on my skin it...

Outstanding gardenia scent. Smells true to the gardenia bush that blooms in my yard I can hardly believe it. I'm on my second bottle. I use it on my body and often I like to spritz my pillow before...

Being a skeptic, I got the solid for 3.00. Wow! Straight gardenia, nothing else. BBW has other smells...nice but not true. This smells like I stuck my nose in a gardenia flower. Great for layering....

This is the most "real" gardenia scent I've ever smelled. Both the cologne and sachet are great. My only quabble is with the spray bottle -- it's hard to tell where the fragrance sprays out...

This Gardenia is a very fresh scent. At first it smells like a fresh bouquet of gorgeous white flowers. Later it softens up and turns into a creamy white gardenia. Just Heavenly!

This is the cleanest gardenia scent I've smelled - and it gets 5 stars just for that. Too many of the other gardenia perfumes end up smelling like jasmine or rose/white flowery combination, but not...

I am normally a believer in You-Get-What-You-Pay-For. YR Pur Desir de Gardenia has triumphantly proven me very very wrong. And no one is happier about this than I.

This is pretty for a gardenia scent; I find many gardenia scents can be a bit heavy and cloying. This one is sweet, but has a lightness to it also. It is almost too heavy, but not quite. It's...

This is the only gardenia fragrance I've ever smelled that isn't too sweet/fake/cloying to me. It smells more green, like the petals of the real flower and its leaves. I will add I have mostly...
