About
Gardénia by Chanel is a Floral fragrance for women. Gardénia was launched in 1925. The nose behind this fragrance is Ernest Beaux. Top notes are Orange Blossom and Green Notes; middle notes are Gardenia, Tuberose, Jasmine and Fruity Notes; base notes are Coconut, Musk, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Vetiver and Patchouli. Gardenia is a gorgeous floral bouquet and an admirable example of talent from the great perfume creator, Ernest Beaux. He created this perfume in 1925. Gardenia was relaunched in the 1980's, together with other exclusive perfumes, such as Bois des Iles and Cuir de Russie. The reconstructed version is very similar to the original (vintage). In Ernest Beaux's time, synthetic materials technology was still undeveloped. Due to synthetic notes, the new version of Gardenia is more modern and not at all heavy or as strong as expected from white flowers. The elegance of Gardenia is timeless. The natural fragrance of gardenia can not be distilled, and in this composition, it is substituted by fragrances of orange blossom and jasmine, and succored by a sweet tuberose note. In the base of the composition, besides musk, there are woody notes of patchouli, vetiver, and sandalwood. Gardenia comes in eau de parfum and eau de toilette concentrations.
