Chanel Gardénia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1925, created by Ernest Beaux. Gardénia opens with Green and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Fruity, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Chanel's Gardénia carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A classic white floral from Chanel, Gardénia is divisive - some find it an ethereal, creamy dream, others a fleeting disappointment that struggles with longevity. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it for its understated elegance.

When To Wear

Date Formal

Its delicate sillage and soft, clean floral profile make it highly appropriate for the office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. The poor longevity reported by many means it's not ideal for formal events where a lasting impression is needed, and it's certainly not a sport scent.

About

Imagine stepping into a serene garden, with the initial crispness of green notes and a hint of orange blossom. The heart unfolds into a creamy bouquet of gardenia, jasmine, and tuberose, accented by soft fruity undertones. It settles into a warm, lactonic embrace of coconut and vanilla, grounded by sandalwood and a whisper of patchouli, creating a delicate, classic floral signature.
