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.

Its moderate sillage and authentic floral character make it perfectly suited for office and casual wear without being overwhelming. While pleasant, it might lack the complexity or boldness some prefer for formal events, and it's too delicate for sport.

About

Pur Desir de Gardenia opens with a unique, almost buttery quality, instantly immersing you in the heart of a gardenia bloom. Lush, green stems and dewy white petals are ever-present, sometimes leaning creamy, sometimes subtly spicy. As it settles, an earthy depth emerges, occasionally taking on a 'mushroomy' nuance that adds to its natural authenticity. It's a true soliflore, capturing the flower's every facet from bud to full bloom.
