Gardénia
Description
The fragrance unveils green notes, ‘like leaves swollen with dew,’ as well as ‘the softness of sweet fruit and white petals.’ The scent’s vanilla-inflected trail exhales a touch of mimosa, too. Perfumer: Ernest Beaux.
At a glance
A gardenia soliflore that smells like camellia
History
Coco Chanel made camellias her emblem. In 1925, this odor-less bloom was replaced by gardenia, ‘which looks so much like it, and has a sweet, exotic scent,’ to create a soliflore entitled simply Gardénia. In 2007, Gardénia entered the Les Exclusifs collection of rare fragrances sold exclusively at Chanel boutiques.

Très joli, très très joli, même pour un homme. Le dimanche matin lui va très bien, comme un costume sur mesure. Très précieux.
