The delicate and airy essence of the gardenia flower is captured in the Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Gardenia Petale perfume. The charm of femininity and the freshness of the fragrance are accentuated by the soft notes of white flowers. This exquisite scent is enveloped in an aura of mystique and mysterious magic. An intimate cloud of sensuality will envelop its wearer in the allure of luxury throughout the day.
The design of the Van Cleef & Arpels Collection Extraordinaire Gardenia Petale bottle is executed in a minimalist style, with nothing superfluous, only the beauty of the proud flower and its surroundings. The white label displays the formula number of the fragrance, known only to the head perfumer. A small pendant on the black cap adds a touch of flirtation. The incredible floral scent at the heart of the composition contains the delicate gardenia, whose charm is enhanced by the fresh notes of airy jasmine, light lily of the valley, majestic lily, and enchanting tuberose. This fragrance will appeal to women who value genuine femininity and love to explore the world in its various manifestations.
I have tried a sample of this fragrance, which I purchased from a different online store. It is a beautiful, very natural creamy gardenia scent, bright, enticing, and slightly sweet. However, the sweetness is elegant and oily. The fragrance remains consistent from start to finish, without any development. As it fades, the scent becomes colder and slightly more synthetic. It has excellent longevity on both the skin and clothing, and I can still smell it even on the next day. I also have a sample of Penhaligon's Gardenia, and in comparison, the scent is lighter, more natural, but also quieter and less long-lasting. In my opinion, Van Cleef's gardenia is brighter, juicier, and more captivating.
