Not as delicious as Goutal's Gardenia Passion

I bought this hoping it would be a true Gardenia scent but to my nose it is not. I am indifferent to it though I can say I don't dislike it but certainly not worth the price I. I will stick to Annick Goutal's Gardenia Passion - which is expensive - but is so close to Gardenia it is as is I am smelling the actual flower!

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Knock off!

In a side by side test—FragranceX's Gardenia Petale vs. Van Cleef Arpels'—the difference was obvious and immediate. Sure, it *kind of* smells like Gardenia but, BUYER BEWARE, anyone who knows the real deal, will be sorry with this knock-off. The whole reason I love the real version—the heady, sexy, sultry, feminine scent of thousands of Gardenia petals crushed into a bottle—was gone.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

This was a gift for my wife. I'm glad she liked pefume and that it was authentic, this line of perfumes are very expensive and was offered at a significantly lower price. Plus FragranceX had the best selection compared to other sites.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
