Have you worn Gardenia?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Gardenia is for those who love white and talcum-powdered scents. At first, on my skin, I only smelled talcum, talcum, and more talcum. It seemed very soapy, loud, and didn’t quite convince me. But after an hour, the flower softens and blends with a sweet vanilla that makes it feminine, delicate, and sophisticated. It’s not for everyone, but it has great quality and incredible longevity, projection, and sillage. It’s worth trying.

  2. Gardenia is for those who love white and powdery scents. At first, on my skin, I only detected powder, powder, and more powder. It felt very soapy, sharp, and didn’t quite convince me. But after an hour, the flower softens and blends with a sweet vanilla, making it feminine, delicate, and sophisticated. It’s not for everyone, but it has great quality with incredible longevity, projection, and sillage. Worth trying.

  3. More powder, more powder, and even more powder is what I feel on my skin. The opening is intense, and gradually the gardenias emerge; I don’t detect any vanilla. It has excellent longevity and sillage, but be careful with the amount because it can be overwhelming. It’s a unique perfume that doesn’t resemble anything current. I was surprised by the quality, and the price is very low—I bought it at Ciberday for 40,000 Chilean pesos (about $43).

    Oh my goodness, not a single Kalotinis perfume has disappointed me so far; they are original, high-quality, and well-structured. Gardenia opens its petals gracefully: fresh, strong, and very soapy. At first, it’s dark, carnal, and opulent, but over time it sweetens into an ethereal white floral powder with vanilla and silky touches. It’s a tender, soft, innocent gardenia that embraces you delicately. Kalotinis’ creativity is immense; they always surprise. It’s a stunning perfume I want to keep forever. It lasts about 8 hours with high to moderate sillage.
