7.8

/10

The community loves Chanel Gardénia's beautiful, fresh white floral scent and strongly advocates against gendered fragrance marketing - anyone can wear it. However, the main criticisms are its high price point and disappointing longevity, with many suggesting decants or exploring alternative jasmine fragrances like Diptyque Do Son or Tom Ford Jasmine Rouge as better value options.

Positive

Beautiful, fresh white floral scent with prominent jasmine
Elegant and sophisticated composition
Versatile and attractive on anyone regardless of gender
Excellent for formal occasions and date nights

Negative

Expensive for the asking price
Poor longevity - fades quickly (around 30 minutes)
Limited performance/projection on skin
Marketing creates unnecessary gender barriers
