Elizabeth Taylor Gardenia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Gardenia opens with Green and Lily Of The Valley, settles into a heart of Peony, Gardenia, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Musk and Carnation. Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A floral cheapie that punches well above its weight, Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia is a divisive blind buy: for some, it's a realistic, dewy gardenia masterpiece; for others, it's a sharp, synthetic disappointment. But for those who love it, this is a fresh, clean, and surprisingly opulent white floral.

About

Gardenia opens with a bright, wet rush of lily of the valley and green notes, like stepping into a dew-kissed garden after a spring shower. This verdant freshness soon gives way to a lush heart of creamy, intoxicating gardenia, supported by delicate orchid and soft peony. As it settles, a subtle musk and a hint of spicy carnation provide a clean, comforting base. It's a heady white floral that manages to stay fresh and vibrant.
