Gardenia
by Jo Loves
Gardenia by Jo Loves is a pure, elegant soliflore centered on gardenia, capturing the essence of the flower with remarkable accuracy. The scent is delicate, slightly sweet, and evokes memories of bridal bouquets and nostalgic moments, with strong white floral and ylang ylang nuances. It carries a soft, milky lactonic quality that enhances its creamy texture and gives it a comforting, intimate character. Despite its translucent presence, it lingers feeling warm and personal, not overwhelming.
Pros
- +Accurately represents gardenia with minimal extraneous notes - ideal for lovers of true floral soliflores.
- +Delicate, intimate sillage suits daytime and evening wear without overpowering.
- +Offers a rich, nostalgic, and deeply personal experience, particularly for mature or romantic sensibilities.
Cons
- −Extremely short longevity; barely lasts beyond a few hours on skin.
- −The version currently available may be a different iteration (Golden Gardenia) with spicy, clove-like notes that clash with the floral theme.
- −Not suitable for those seeking a powerful, long-lasting or bold signature scent.
