Gardénia is a newfound love from Chanel for me. A friend mentioned Gardénia to me, in its offerings Parfum, Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette and how each changed over the years of reformulations....

Tried a tester of this when searching for a new fragrance after reading many reviews. Since it was originally launched in 1925 and is one of the creations of the genius Ernest Beaux, I was...

If you talk the Parfum it is heaven! If you talk the EDP forget it. That’s it.

This is a timid floral with none of the sharpness or green notes that I appreciate in a white floral. It's sweet and light, (yet without any zing or sparkle), and it just falls flat for me. In...

I wanted to love this. White florals and Chanel are two of my favourite things when it comes to perfume, but sadly this wasn't what I'd hoped it would be. Don't get me wrong, it's smells...

This smells like happiness in a bottle! A Spring summer daytime favorite of mine. Very unobtrusive, you need to reapply several times throughout the day.

Creamy sweet white floral (Jasmine, gardenia, tuberose) tinged with orange and fruit and very rich and big. Does not turn indolic on me (I have an issue with white florals and Caron Narcisse noire...

'Gardenia' mixed with 'Beige' is my ultimate favs of the collection. I love Chanel perfumes to begin with but this very 'ME'. It somehow mixes so well with my body chemistry that it actually smells...

Very pretty white floral, predominantly gardenia but not totally. Dewey, feminine; not sultry and no overtones of indoles, mushrooms, cheese, etc. The Perfumed Court lists notes of jasmine,...

It's Grasse Jasmine. The EDT is like some pathetic crap they pipe into department stores so they smell vaguely perfumey. But if you can get your hands on a vintage bottle of parfum extrait that...

Ahhhhh Gardenia. With the exception of Jersey, I have now smelled all the Exclusifs and cannot live without two, Cuir de Russie and now Gardenia. Many have said that this does not smell like...

Gardenia is one of those perfumes that makes you want to draw a longer a deeper breath... beautiful! It reminds me of YSL's spring edition of Paris, but with seemingly higher quality ingredients. ...

Whoever said they weren't making this anymore is wrong. You can order it online today. I'm so glad. On me, this is a very light, classy scent. I'm through with searching for HG fragrances since I...

Very pretty, fresh and transparent floral, not over the top or heavy at all. It reminds me a little of Il Profumo Gardenia Royal, but the Chanel is fresher, greener and less sweet (I know it has no...

Gardenia by Chanel is a misnomer: at best, she smells like a generic blend of jasmine-y white flowers; Gardenia by Chanel is no brainy type: she giggles, and squeaks, and jumps incoherently from...

Chanel Gardenia is a slight and sweet white floral composed of jasmine, tuberose, muguet, and orange blossom with tentative base accents of musk and vetiver. It's as fragile as spun sugar and it...

This review is for the edt version. This is a light, crisp and elegant floral. I smell jasmine more that gardenia. It is very unlike Monyette or Kai which have a tropical feel. This one is ideal...
