The review
On paper, Gardénia is a strong bet if you want Gardénia for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gardénia's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 90% less than Gardénia.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on orange blossom and aldehydes, turns to gardenia, tuberose and jasmine, and settles into sandalwood, musk and vanilla. That is the brief Gardénia is working from.
Top
- orange blossom
- aldehydes
Heart
- gardenia
- tuberose
- jasmine
Base
- sandalwood
- musk
- vanilla
Creamy gardenia and tuberose with a green edge, classical and beautifully composed.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
