Looking for a Gardenia scent

[tyche]

I love the gardenia in The Lady of Shalott. It is very similar to the gardenia bush in my front yard with a little aquatic mixed in.

BPAL's Gardenia hasn't yet worked for me at all for various reasons, but Tíare (aka Tahitian or Hawaiian Gardenia) is lovely. It is also the predominant fragrance in good quality Monoï oils (detectable in the lighter-scented Post Hair Glosses for me). However, it seems to only be found in a very few Lab blends, mostly LEs.

 

Another similar-to-me note is Hawaiian Ginger (Flower)/White Ginger.

 

Pele, maybe? (I need to try it myself.) Lady of Shalott is all aquatic on me as I tend to amp water and air notes, sadly.

 

Worth trying Tíare and White Ginger if your skin eats/hates Gardenia/Jasmine etc., IMO

I forgot Lady of Shallot has Gardenia in it! Yes, also seconding that recommendation.
