Gardenia
Gardenia by Zara is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2021 in the budget price tier. It opens with mandarin and pear, moves into gardenia and tuberose and dries down to musk, sandalwood and vanilla. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heart
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
