gardenia

Creamy, narcotic, slightly mushroomy at the edges. Like tuberose, gardenia is a "loud" white floral that doesn't whisper. Real gardenia absolute is rare and expensive; most fragrances use synthetic accords that lean cleaner and less indolic than the natural flower.

Also known as: white gardenia, tahitian gardenia
