About
A fragrance on the verge of cruelty. It's like a wonderful childhood memory, often replayed in one's mind with a lovely feeling of nostalgia very close to the threshold of pain. Cruel Gardénia stuns the senses with diabolical power. Its notes are sunny, silky smooth, and lingering – can become an obsession. A contrast between the solar and feminine sweetness and the strong and obsessive sensuality.
