Released in 2008, Cruel Gardénia by Guerlain is white floral, powdery, musky perfume with sweet undertones. Crafted by Randa Hammami and Sylvaine Delacourte. Divine gardenia mixed with light soapiness, reminiscent of an elegant high society lady, lovely soft and creamy scent. It opens with neroli, peach and rose, transitions through heart notes of gardenia, violet and ylang-ylang, and settles into a warm base of musk, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanille. Intimate Projection and performance is average around 3 hours.
