Van Cleef & Arpels Gardenia Petale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. Gardenia Petale opens with Citrus and Green, and settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily Of The Valley, and Gardenia. Van Cleef & Arpels's Gardenia Petale carries a Favourite verdict, a white 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.

About

Gardenia Petale opens with a fresh, green burst, quickly giving way to a rich, creamy gardenia heart. Jasmine and lily of the valley intertwine, adding further white floral depth and a subtle sweetness. It settles into a soft, slightly animalic warmth, delivering a delicate yet intoxicating floral aura.
