Penhaligon's 1976 EDT
Gardenia
Penhaligon's Gardenia is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1976. Gardenia opens with Hyacinth, Rhubarb, Green, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Penhaligon's's Gardenia carries a Statement verdict, a white floral-led wear.
This Penhaligon's Gardenia is a divisive one. Many adore its classic, clean white floral profile, conjuring images of English garden parties and elegant nobility, but others find it a screechy, headache-inducing granny scent that's far too much for their liking. Definitely sample before you commit.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its potent white floral character and strong sillage, though appreciated by some, might be too much for an office setting. It shines more in formal events and dates, lending an elegant touch, and is rather too complex for casual wear or sport.
