I'm obsessed with gardenias. I've planted 37 of them in 4 years. Each variation smells different. Shakai makes the best gardenia smelling products soap, lotion and shower gel.
I only have 8 gardenia bushes, but that will change by the end of spring. We will be planting more of my favorite flower around the entire fence in the back yard.
Fun fact: There is no way to extract the scent from a gardenia, so all gardenia notes in perfume are synthetic.I have a Gardenia bush in my yard, and it's sweet and spicy, not light and airy.
I just got laid off from work today and I feel shitty. But watching you is so relaxing and uplifting since you're always so jolly! Thank you for that. Keep on being a sunshine for everybody! 😊 Love from the Philippines!
I absolutely love Estée Lauder private collection… I tried one spray on my wrist and in the warm autumn wind it smelled amazing. The dry down is beautiful. I am going to buy a bottle tomorrow!! So excited!! Thank you for your reviews, they are always so informative and interesting!!
I love Gardenia, Creed & Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia are 2 of my favorites. I own about half of these you mentioned, those 2 really stand out as beautiful!
Gardenia is a new love! Thank you for this. I have been considering purchasing a Gardenia scent for Spring. So far Gucci's seems the most irresistible!
My favorite perfume with gardenia is La Panthere by Cartier. It is bold, sensual and lasts a long time on my skin. It is a very pretty smell :-) I enjoyed your video. Gardenia is my favorite floral scent too. I can see I have 6 of the perfumes you have mentioned.
I have been searching for the most AUTHENTIC smelling Gardenia perfume without all of the other scents added. If I could just get pure Gardenia fragrance I would be in heaven, but it would also cost a small fortune. So, does anyone have a recommendation?
Thank you for the daily uploads in these trying times. I look forward to your videos everyday. Your vivid descriptions of many fragrances have forced me to add them to my wishlist despite the fact that I’ve never smelled them.😅😂
I couldn't disagree more regarding the Estee Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia. It is not overpowering it is simple and very clean. The Tuberose is the scent that dominates and not everyone can handle the richness. I think it's a perfect balance and a perfect lovely combination of my 2 favorite flowers. I wear this all the time.
My favorite from this list is Tocca Florence! I’d love it if you did a Lavender perfume video, I had bought Mon Guerlain for my mom and fell inlove so i’d love to see what fragrances could be similar! 💜
La panthere is just amazing and súper elegant, people compares with narciso but i think the first is much more femnine. I also own Daisy and it makes me feel happy⚘👍👏🥰
I am starting to love Gardenia. Thank you for the video and scent ideas. Coach Dreams just arrived at my door. Bitter orange, pear, gardenia, cactus flower (my favorite), and a woody joshua tree note and maybe a light musk. It is so lovely.
Actually. Now that I have lived with this sent awhile. I love it less. It is so sad when that happens. Something about it has started to turn a little hair spray esque with my body chemistry.
I didn’t care for gorgeous gardenia, it had a fruit citrus top that I can’t handle, but I bought gorgeous Jasmine because I preferred it and honestly I HAD to have one of the bottles! The turquoise bottle is my absolute favorite bottle in my entire collection ! Anyways… lol My EL Tuberose Gardenia just arrived today, I blind bought it after wanting it forever, it’s phenomenal!! Wow! it’s my only gardenia scent I own
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on Gardenia 🌼. I had a wonderful experience going to the Chanel boutique in London 🇬🇧 and purchased Gardenia les Exclusifs my spring/summer scents . Hopeful i will check out that list as well.💞🦋💞🦋💞🦋. Stay safe!🙏🏾
thank you so much for your videos, I love love love fragrances, and these are so wonderfully descriptive. Can you please do one with a Jasmine Sam back, or a very young Jasmine, sort of like voile de Jasmine? I wish Bulgari would bring that back, but they haven’t yet, and I’m dying to wear it again, thanks again
I like Chanel's Gardénia, Estée Lauder's Tuberose Gardenia and Kai's Kai perfume. Kai is definitely my most favorite of the bunch and smells like the flower on the bush. I know this, because I grow them in my garden at home. I really want to try that Jo Loves Gardenia perfume though! It sounds divine. I'd also like to smell Hawaiian Forever Florals Gardenia too, so I have heard that also smells amazing really realistic smelling.
yess, tbs english gardenia included in this video, I prefer this one than Fijian Lotus one since they almost smelled the same..it's heavier in the scent and has a more solid molecule I think😄
Yankee candle "Gardenia" discontinued years a strong white floral was gorgeous house smelled like a perfume bottle💋looking for a candle to match it...Dior "pure poison" on my list
THANK YOU for this! I LOVE Gardenia and have been looking for a Woody-Gardenia-Musk and had no idea that my favorite Narciso Rodriguez made one, and I will also have to try Jo Malone's Gardenia & Oud- I'm way too excited right now! Your daily videos are such an uplifting part of the day :-)
Thanks for another great review, Soki! Another idea/request for a perfume note: Lily of the Valley. I always "think" I know what this smells like, but then I find perfumes that surprise me (in a good way), and have NO Lily of the Valley in them! I am considering a blind buy of Molinard's EDP called "Muguet" and would love to hear your thoughts! (apparently IFRA is changing regulations about the LOTV-related perfume ingredients, as well) IFRA = Int'l Fragrance Association Muguet = French word for Lily of the Valley
How about the Marc jacobs (that’s all my bottle says) I think it is limited edition. It’s like short rectangle with a flat black pump to me Gardenia is the primary thing that I smell! I love it!
Sophie, thank you so much for taking the time to post a video every day. I look forward to your videos and your wonderful energy. It helps to deal with this quarantine. Hey, if you need an idea for a video, what are the perfumes you grab out of habit from your own collection lately? I know I’ve been wearing perfume everyday whilst at home. I have been wearing ones that I don’t normally wear. LOL Have a fabulous day.
I was just googling Gardenia - so perfect timing for your video. How do you pick out each note such as gardenia, tuberose, patchouli, osmanthus etc if you dont know what each smells like. Can you buy samples of each note or is it a trip to the garden centre to smell each flower? 😂
Love gardenia i have somethinh big to tell you Sophie before quarentine i smelled azzaro wanted boy and it smelled like angel muse from mugler am i crazy? Please after this try it and see if im crazy or not
I just got a sample of the Flower Kenzo Poppy Bouquet. Very interesting almond and gardenia. I may have to purchase a bottle. Do you mind sharing your choice between Chanel Gardenia versus the Van Cleef Gardenia Petale?
The gardena perfume from the body shop has been discontinued as well the body shop is making cuts to only sell our top 100 products. Gardenia is not a top seller. The jasmine and cherry blossom white musk and black musk stayed however the UK has some products we don't have in the us.
what was the one you review that smelled a bit like make up and had that lipstick smell it was a gorgeous gardenia sent, and then you had another one with white woods and it was a very soft very romantic floral white sexy fragrance, do you happen to remember those
I want to like creed...but the fact the lied about their history is a bit off putting for me. They are a quality brand, just don’t like that they mislead people to thinking they are a historic brand just because they bought the name from a historic tailoring business.
I have never met anyone who did NOT like the Elizabeth Taylor Gardenia cologne. I bought up several at TJ Maxx. Its hard to find now but worth it. Very light and yes, lily of valley.

Gardenia was in my wedding bouquet! So fragrant and lovely.

oh no thats so sad to hear! I hope you are ok, stay positive!
I'll be fine when this pandemic is over. No worries! Thank you so much for your concern. This means a lot! 🤗
I absolutely love Estée Lauder private collection… I tried one spray on my wrist and in the warm autumn wind it smelled amazing. The dry down is beautiful. I am going to buy a bottle tomorrow!! So excited!! Thank you for your reviews, they are always so informative and interesting!!
I love Gardenia, Creed & Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia are 2 of my favorites. I own about half of these you mentioned, those 2 really stand out as beautiful!
I Loooooove the smell of gardenia. With a capital L. This was a great overview. Wasn't even aware of a few!
hehe
Gardenia is a new love! Thank you for this. I have been considering purchasing a Gardenia scent for Spring. So far Gucci's seems the most irresistible!
One other frangrance that comes close to the gardenia scent is Sand & Sable. Inexpensive, but nice to wear during south Florida summers.
Sand and Sable was popular when I was in high school in the early 90s. I didn’t know this perfume was still being produced.
My favorite perfume with gardenia is La Panthere by Cartier. It is bold, sensual and lasts a long time on my skin. It is a very pretty smell :-) I enjoyed your video. Gardenia is my favorite floral scent too. I can see I have 6 of the perfumes you have mentioned.
Pure poison and Narciso edp ❤️will bring lots of compliments!!
I love Gardenia, Lily of the valley and musky scents. Oh, dame! I love them all 😆
I have a huge gardenia bush in my back yard. The smell is glorious.
I have been searching for the most AUTHENTIC smelling Gardenia perfume without all of the other scents added. If I could just get pure Gardenia fragrance I would be in heaven, but it would also cost a small fortune. So, does anyone have a recommendation?
Maybe the Gucci one?
Yves Rocher made a gardenia fragrance some years ago. The only thing I found to smell like a true gardenia. It has since been discontinued.
Thank you for the daily uploads in these trying times. I look forward to your videos everyday. Your vivid descriptions of many fragrances have forced me to add them to my wishlist despite the fact that I’ve never smelled them.😅😂
haha aw thank you! x
Eu tambem nunca sente o cheiro de um desses tem mais eu fora esses.e um sonhooo ai eu queroa que aqui no ceara tivessa channel amooo todos
Voce empolga a gente com seu vidios e um sonhooo deus te abencoes

I have the lauder tuberose body cream and it’s gorgeous! Better than the perfume. It would be nice to see u do a perfume body cream video someday. ❤️
La panthere is just amazing and súper elegant, people compares with narciso but i think the first is much more femnine. I also own Daisy and it makes me feel happy⚘👍👏🥰
One I just discovered that is an amazing gardenia- Live Colorfully (the original) from Kate Spade. WOW! So good!
I love to wear Chanel Gardenia, Creed Fleurs de Gardenia and Hermès Jour d'Hermès Gardenia. I think that's the perfect period to wear them 😊
The earrings looks great on you! Will buy one after the quarantine, delivery in my region is still hampered 😭😭😭 their jewelries are elegant💍
ah cant wait for covid to be over!

La Panthere!!! Had no idea…Narciso was a bit too powdery.
Thank you 🙌
La Panthere is very interesting. I like bnb it because in the dry down it smells like Zest or Irish spring. So does La Panthere legere.
A good gardenia/coconut scent I just discovered is Sarah Horowitz's Perfect Coconut Milk. Amazing!
Such a wonderful list! Thank you! My favorite so far is Van Cleef & Arpels Gardenia Petale. 🥰 I look forward to trying Chanel Gardenia!
👍🥰

hmm yes will do a video
I’ve figured out that the note Gardenia gives off that bug spray smell on my skin, unfortunately.I try to avoid gardenia heavy fragrances. Great video
Loved that you watched it anyway💓
Could u wear a dark green blouse in ur next vid?? I want to see u in that colour.! It's my fav colour. I have green eyes myself. 😘

Ah yes a very classy one from Hermes
I absolutely love gardenia! I already have Narciso and Dior's Pure Poison 🤍
Well done! Loved this.
How about the Marc jacobs (that’s all my bottle says) I think it is limited edition. It’s like short rectangle with a flat black pump to me Gardenia is the primary thing that I smell! I love it!

Hmm well a lot are tropical so might not be in garden centre. It’s a good question. Essential oils might be best?
A video of perfumes with quince please.❤❤❤
Love gardenia i have somethinh big to tell you Sophie before quarentine i smelled azzaro wanted boy and it smelled like angel muse from mugler am i crazy? Please after this try it and see if im crazy or not
I just got a sample of the Flower Kenzo Poppy Bouquet. Very interesting almond and gardenia. I may have to purchase a bottle. Do you mind sharing your choice between Chanel Gardenia versus the Van Cleef Gardenia Petale?
hmm difficult choice! maybe chanel hmm
@@SokiLondon Thank you. Nicer price on the Petale at Notino UK 15% off. But the beautiful big Chanel bottle looks so pretty.
I love your channel and perfumes reviews so much... ♥️
And I would like to do a review about Roberto Cavalli and Carolina Herrera perfumes ❤️❤️❤️
Will do !
The gardena perfume from the body shop has been discontinued as well the body shop is making cuts to only sell our top 100 products. Gardenia is not a top seller. The jasmine and cherry blossom white musk and black musk stayed however the UK has some products we don't have in the us.
👍
They have discontinued English gardenia from bodyshop and I have been searching for a similar one but have yet to find it :/
I am wondering if Marc Jacob's daisy is worth getting? I have daisy love and daisy love au so sweet as well as Honey. Is Daisy necessary?
I don’t think so..
Tiare and gardenia are one and the same. Tiare is how the Tahitians call them :)
I think wild child by pin rose should be on here
Chanel gardenia is a really good one
How’s the Estée Lauder vs Organza, Poême even Amarige?
Ah yes classics
Love perfumes and you & your videos I'm also a November Baby !
I love Gardenia! How about Mint🍃 perfumes
Will do!
A great quality affordable option: Jovan island gardenia

I don't no why, but it smells to me like a bubble 😁 And for my husband too))) It's not bad, but not for such price 😭
I would like to try the CHANNEL Gardenia !!you Said it last..BOUT HOW LONG !?!
Maybe 3/4 hours
First!❤️ im a November baby too! Are you a scorpio? I am

@@SokiLondon Cotton Candy frags would be great - I want one!!
Me encanta 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
its a tree you can search Google and see the Gardina tree
That earrings from AnaLuisa looks like coronavirus.
I was disappointed with the esty lauder gardenia purfume, it smell like corn tortillas to me and the scent didn't last,
Great video as always. I have half of those you featured. I hate, hate Elizabeth Taylor’s Gardenia it’s horrible you guys!😩😠
I have never met anyone who did NOT like the Elizabeth Taylor Gardenia cologne. I bought up several at TJ Maxx. Its hard to find now but worth it. Very light and yes, lily of valley.
