Gardenia Grand Soir
Opens with a crisp, aromatic green note. The namesake gardenia accord is barely perceptible, relegated to the background. A salty citrus note joins the green top notes, pushing the floral accord further back. I think gardenia's function is to anchor the top notes to the skin and to balance their bite with its restrained sweetness. Gardenia Grand Soir is not at all what I expected and only mildly interesting.
