Jour d'Hermes Gardenia

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, musky and skin-like, and at higher doses closer to sweat or fur. Divides people sharply.

It opens on citruses, gardenia and jasmine, moves through gardenia, jasmine and rose, and settles on amber, cedar and musk.

• citruses: a general citrus impression rather than any one fruit
• gardenia: creamy white flower with a green, almost mushroomy edge

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
