Gardenias were my mothers favorite flower and today they are my favorite flower too, they have been for many, many years. Jungle Gardenia by Tuvache was the only perfume I can recall smelling similar to the real flower. Unfortunately I've approached many different avenues to regain this perfume, I have been unsuccessful. Either the vintage finds have gone sour or the new formulas do not resemble the original and other designers do not come close enough for me. I then came across The Fragrance Shop and although Jungle Gardenia is offered I decided to sample True Gardenia. I came home late one evening and checked my mail box and noticed how prompt my order had arrived. I placed my 14 day sample perfume oil on my dresser with plans of opening it the following morning but when I awoke I had forgotten to do so, instead I headed out the front door to retrieve the morning paper and then it hit me, the scent of my 86 year old gardenia bushes in bloom. I quickly ran upstairs and opened the package that contained the small sample vial, I then placed some of the oil on my wrist and ran outside to compare it to the brand new blooms and then.... I was blown away! True Gardenia has been the ONLY gardenia fragrance that comes exremely close to the real flower. The only feature slightly missing is the "mushroomy" after scent. The earthy scent does exists but not as intense. True Gardenia overall is beautiful because it smells so close to the real thing and it is long lasting. In a couple of weeks I will be ordering 1 ounce of the perfume oil and also the 8 ounce dry body oil. Thank you so much for allowing me to enjoy the scent of gardenias year round thus helping me to remember my mother who loved this flower dearly.

My favorite is Tuberose Tango. I decided to try True Gardenia. It is wonderful too. I received a sample of Freesia. I am going to order soon. It is a light fresh and clean smelling scent. I guess I am a floral girl. I get comments about smelling good all the time from men and women when I wear Tuberose Tango. I think I will get comments on True Gardenia too.

Even though my absolute favorite flower is lily of the valley this oil has convinced me that maybe gardenia should be my favorite. Smelling this reminds me actually smelling the flower on a gardenia plant! It's heavenly!! I love this and the lily of the valley too! True, pure and simple.

There isn't much that I can say that hasn't already been said in the reviews. After reading these reviews I didn't go with the sample, I went ahead and ordered the 1/4 oz. Now I wish I had went with at least the 1/2 oz. I have looked for years for a real gardenia smell, I had begun to think it didn't exist. Well, it does - the Fragrance shop has it!!!
