Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gardenia Petale
A truly gorgeous creamy white floral that's a stunning, almost photorealistic gardenia, but it's divisive on longevity and projection. If you're after a loud scent, look elsewhere, but for a delicate, natural gardenia dream, this is it.

Our Verdict - Tahitian Gardenia
This is a real love-it-or-hate-it scent - some find it a delightful, creamy gardenia, while others are hit with a harsh, synthetic nastiness. If you're after a classic white floral at a bargain price, this could be your tropical dream, but sample first to avoid a porta-potty nightmare.

Gardenia Petale

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its delicate sillage and fresh, clean white floral character make it perfect for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. While lovely for a date, its intimate projection might not be ideal for a formal event.

Tahitian Gardenia

Seasons

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate sillage and often praised versatility make it good for both casual and date settings, though some find it too strong for office wear. The tropical floral theme isn't quite right for formal events, but it's airy enough for light sport.
