Van Cleef & Arpels 2009 EDP
Gardenia Petale
Van Cleef & Arpels Gardenia Petale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. Gardenia Petale opens with Citrus and Green Notes, and settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, and Gardenia. Van Cleef & Arpels's Gardenia Petale carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.
A truly gorgeous creamy white floral that's a stunning, almost photorealistic gardenia, but it's divisive on longevity and projection. If you're after a loud scent, look elsewhere, but for a delicate, natural gardenia dream, this is it.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its delicate sillage and fresh, clean white floral character make it perfect for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. While lovely for a date, its intimate projection might not be ideal for a formal event.
