Two new men are becoming faces of fragrances: Fendi wil... Go
Coco Chanel made camellias her emblem. In 1925, this odor-less bloom was replaced by gardenia, ‘which looks so much like it, and has a sweet, exotic scent,’ to create a soliflore entitled simply Gardénia. In 2007, Gardénia entered the Les Exclusifs collection of rare fragrances sold exclusively at Chanel boutiques.
The fragrance unveils green notes, ‘like leaves swollen with dew,’ as well as ‘the softness of sweet fruit and white petals.’ The scent’s vanilla-inflected trail exhales a touch of mimosa, too. Perfumer: Ernest Beaux.
Eau de Toilette 2.5 and 6.8 oz.; Extract 1/2 oz.
