Osmo Scents Gardenia Royal

these last days this perfume is whirling up and up and gives me such delicate gardenia sensations. I get reminiscences with Chanels Gardenia, which has the same cleanness, but this is more 'charnelle', which I actually prefer. I do prefer the gardenia still more fatty, cloying, tropical and as if from a hothouse. when I came home from work years back, the stephanotis (early evening) was thrown in my face, which I adore bc I love white flowers. but nothing, nothing prepared me to a homecoming with one gardeniaplant in the house. it was as if I had to wade through a thick syrup and the indoles, the cheesy by-scent, the waxiness were all attacking me. I love it. THAT sensation you only get with J.A.R.'s 'Jardenia', also with his 'Diamond Water' (carnation) and Creeds Jasmal (Jasmine). so, gardenia, jasmine, tuberose, pittosporum, stephanotis, datura, neroli, orchids, certainly roses, 'snowballs' (viburnum): all have to lay their strength down to one white flower in all its commonness: privet, ligustrum communalis, troène in French, has SUCH white flower force my dad used to gag. it also has a piss accord. but that is the best. yet this gardenia perfume is sublime. it is a tad dirtier than Chanel's. it has an eternal lasting power. it is not precise uncomplicated (luckily). and I love it and it makes perfumery fun.
