The review

Island Gardenia Cologne scores 3.3 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Flower.

Jovan sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Flower's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as a cologne, a lighter concentration than most originals.

It is $34 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
