These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.

Reviewed profile

Orange blossom meets coffee and vanilla in a sweet, Black Opium-style blend. Peach and raspberry add a fruity lift over the dark, gourmand base. Warm and moody, it projects with an easy confidence.

Riskfamiliar0.17

Gardenia is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 7th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.45

Gardenia carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 42nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessgourmand0.78

Gardenia is openly sweet, in gourmand territory. That is 92nd percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
