Tauer Perfumes Sotto La Luna Gardenia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Andy Tauer. Sotto La Luna Gardenia opens with Gardenia, settles into a heart of Green Notes and Rose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Jasmine, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Tauer Perfumes's Sotto La Luna Gardenia carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't your grandma's gardenia, and that's precisely its charm and its downfall. Sotto La Luna Gardenia is a divisive beast-a complex, earthy, almost 'noir' floral that some find breathtakingly unique and others, utterly unwearable. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with very little middle ground.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Casual

Its eternal longevity and rich sillage make it unsuitable for most office environments. However, its complex and romantic character, often described as 'noir' or 'enchanting', makes it perfect for intimate dates or sophisticated evening events. It's too substantial for casual wear or sport.

About

Sotto La Luna Gardenia opens with a raw, earthy gardenia-not the pristine bloom, but something more indolic, almost mushroomy, with a surprising green freshness. As it develops, a creamy, somewhat spicy vanilla and tonka bean warmth emerges, softening the initial intensity and weaving through a subtle rose. The base settles into a comforting, slightly powdery blend of sandalwood, jasmine, and that persistent, unusual gardenia, creating a rich, complex, and deeply unconventional floral experience.
