Gardenia Perfumes Notebook
The Blue Gardenia by Fritz Lang (listal.com)
We're adding a new floral notebook to the blog on the scent, culture, and symbolism of Gardenia. To start with, we're organizing pre-existing blog reviews of gardenia perfumes in one place. You can search for more recent gardenia news annoucements on the blog - for your testing and shopping suggestions - by using the search box at the top of the site.
As I am writing down this list, I can just smell the scent of gardenia wafting up -- can't you?

What are some of your favorite gardenia perfumes? How would your dream gardenia perfume smell like? Which gardenia perfumes you would most love to see reviewed?
I want a lush, thick, lazy, tropical gardenia perfume. Something hypnotic, noir-ish and wild. The scent of a femme fatale.
Robbie,
I hear you -- personally, I really like the discontinued Yves Rocher Gardenia if you can find it. For a more allusive gardenia, suggesting these things, without actually being too overbearing, there is simply Jungle Gardenia.
You might review Chanel Gardenia. Also Jo Loves has a gardenia perfume, i believe….
Yes, absolutely. It'd be a pleasure...
