Pierre Guillaume Paris Gardenia Grand Soir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Pierre Guillaume. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Gardenia Grand Soir carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a truly magnificent gardenia, elevated beyond the usual by a sharp green opening and a grounding sandalwood. It's divisive only in terms of longevity, not its scent profile. If you're after a clean, natural white floral, you'll be smitten.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and clean, natural aroma make it very versatile for casual wear and dates. While it leans towards elegance, the fresh greenness keeps it from being overly formal, and some find the longevity a bit fleeting for a full formal event.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Gardenia Grand Soir opens with a strikingly crisp, green accord, like snapping fresh branches or crushed leaves, before softening into a lush, natural gardenia. This isn't your typical sweet, creamy gardenia; instead, it's airy and almost dewy, underpinned by a smooth, woody sandalwood that adds depth and prevents it from becoming cloying. A subtle, almost maple-like sweetness emerges in the dry down, lending a beautiful balance to the fresh florals and earthy woods.
