I'm obsessed with gardenias. I've planted 37 of them in 4 years. Each variation smells different. Shakai makes the best gardenia smelling products soap, lotion and shower gel.
I only have 8 gardenia bushes, but that will change by the end of spring. We will be planting more of my favorite flower around the entire fence in the back yard.
Fun fact: There is no way to extract the scent from a gardenia, so all gardenia notes in perfume are synthetic.I have a Gardenia bush in my yard, and it's sweet and spicy, not light and airy.
I just got laid off from work today and I feel shitty. But watching you is so relaxing and uplifting since you're always so jolly! Thank you for that. Keep on being a sunshine for everybody! 😊 Love from the Philippines!
I absolutely love Estée Lauder private collection… I tried one spray on my wrist and in the warm autumn wind it smelled amazing. The dry down is beautiful. I am going to buy a bottle tomorrow!! So excited!! Thank you for your reviews, they are always so informative and interesting!!
I love Gardenia, Creed & Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia are 2 of my favorites. I own about half of these you mentioned, those 2 really stand out as beautiful!
Gardenia is a new love! Thank you for this. I have been considering purchasing a Gardenia scent for Spring. So far Gucci's seems the most irresistible!
Thank you for the daily uploads in these trying times. I look forward to your videos everyday. Your vivid descriptions of many fragrances have forced me to add them to my wishlist despite the fact that I’ve never smelled them.😅😂
My favorite perfume with gardenia is La Panthere by Cartier. It is bold, sensual and lasts a long time on my skin. It is a very pretty smell :-) I enjoyed your video. Gardenia is my favorite floral scent too. I can see I have 6 of the perfumes you have mentioned.
I have been searching for the most AUTHENTIC smelling Gardenia perfume without all of the other scents added. If I could just get pure Gardenia fragrance I would be in heaven, but it would also cost a small fortune. So, does anyone have a recommendation?
La panthere is just amazing and súper elegant, people compares with narciso but i think the first is much more femnine. I also own Daisy and it makes me feel happy⚘👍👏🥰
I couldn't disagree more regarding the Estee Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia. It is not overpowering it is simple and very clean. The Tuberose is the scent that dominates and not everyone can handle the richness. I think it's a perfect balance and a perfect lovely combination of my 2 favorite flowers. I wear this all the time.
I didn’t care for gorgeous gardenia, it had a fruit citrus top that I can’t handle, but I bought gorgeous Jasmine because I preferred it and honestly I HAD to have one of the bottles! The turquoise bottle is my absolute favorite bottle in my entire collection ! Anyways… lol My EL Tuberose Gardenia just arrived today, I blind bought it after wanting it forever, it’s phenomenal!! Wow! it’s my only gardenia scent I own
My favorite from this list is Tocca Florence! I’d love it if you did a Lavender perfume video, I had bought Mon Guerlain for my mom and fell inlove so i’d love to see what fragrances could be similar! 💜
I am starting to love Gardenia. Thank you for the video and scent ideas. Coach Dreams just arrived at my door. Bitter orange, pear, gardenia, cactus flower (my favorite), and a woody joshua tree note and maybe a light musk. It is so lovely.
Actually. Now that I have lived with this sent awhile. I love it less. It is so sad when that happens. Something about it has started to turn a little hair spray esque with my body chemistry.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on Gardenia 🌼. I had a wonderful experience going to the Chanel boutique in London 🇬🇧 and purchased Gardenia les Exclusifs my spring/summer scents . Hopeful i will check out that list as well.💞🦋💞🦋💞🦋. Stay safe!🙏🏾
Yankee candle "Gardenia" discontinued years a strong white floral was gorgeous house smelled like a perfume bottle💋looking for a candle to match it...Dior "pure poison" on my list
I like Chanel's Gardénia, Estée Lauder's Tuberose Gardenia and Kai's Kai perfume. Kai is definitely my most favorite of the bunch and smells like the flower on the bush. I know this, because I grow them in my garden at home. I really want to try that Jo Loves Gardenia perfume though! It sounds divine. I'd also like to smell Hawaiian Forever Florals Gardenia too, so I have heard that also smells amazing really realistic smelling.
hello! I have done this here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dp03o4C_-Og.html Also the bvlgari jasmine range: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5lBBERKyxvo.html
Thanks for another great review, Soki! Another idea/request for a perfume note: Lily of the Valley. I always "think" I know what this smells like, but then I find perfumes that surprise me (in a good way), and have NO Lily of the Valley in them! I am considering a blind buy of Molinard's EDP called "Muguet" and would love to hear your thoughts! (apparently IFRA is changing regulations about the LOTV-related perfume ingredients, as well) IFRA = Int'l Fragrance Association Muguet = French word for Lily of the Valley
THANK YOU for this! I LOVE Gardenia and have been looking for a Woody-Gardenia-Musk and had no idea that my favorite Narciso Rodriguez made one, and I will also have to try Jo Malone's Gardenia & Oud- I'm way too excited right now! Your daily videos are such an uplifting part of the day :-)
yess, tbs english gardenia included in this video, I prefer this one than Fijian Lotus one since they almost smelled the same..it's heavier in the scent and has a more solid molecule I think😄
thank you so much for your videos, I love love love fragrances, and these are so wonderfully descriptive. Can you please do one with a Jasmine Sam back, or a very young Jasmine, sort of like voile de Jasmine? I wish Bulgari would bring that back, but they haven’t yet, and I’m dying to wear it again, thanks again
Sophie, thank you so much for taking the time to post a video every day. I look forward to your videos and your wonderful energy. It helps to deal with this quarantine. Hey, if you need an idea for a video, what are the perfumes you grab out of habit from your own collection lately? I know I’ve been wearing perfume everyday whilst at home. I have been wearing ones that I don’t normally wear. LOL Have a fabulous day.
How about the Marc jacobs (that’s all my bottle says) I think it is limited edition. It’s like short rectangle with a flat black pump to me Gardenia is the primary thing that I smell! I love it!
I was just googling Gardenia - so perfect timing for your video. How do you pick out each note such as gardenia, tuberose, patchouli, osmanthus etc if you dont know what each smells like. Can you buy samples of each note or is it a trip to the garden centre to smell each flower? 😂
The gardena perfume from the body shop has been discontinued as well the body shop is making cuts to only sell our top 100 products. Gardenia is not a top seller. The jasmine and cherry blossom white musk and black musk stayed however the UK has some products we don't have in the us.
Love gardenia i have somethinh big to tell you Sophie before quarentine i smelled azzaro wanted boy and it smelled like angel muse from mugler am i crazy? Please after this try it and see if im crazy or not
I just got a sample of the Flower Kenzo Poppy Bouquet. Very interesting almond and gardenia. I may have to purchase a bottle. Do you mind sharing your choice between Chanel Gardenia versus the Van Cleef Gardenia Petale?
I want to like creed...but the fact the lied about their history is a bit off putting for me. They are a quality brand, just don’t like that they mislead people to thinking they are a historic brand just because they bought the name from a historic tailoring business.
what was the one you review that smelled a bit like make up and had that lipstick smell it was a gorgeous gardenia sent, and then you had another one with white woods and it was a very soft very romantic floral white sexy fragrance, do you happen to remember those
