Gardenia: day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its gourmand side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Givenchy Amarige is a lighter match.
How long Gardenia stays on skin
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. Givenchy Amarige and Nasomatto Narcotic Venus last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and milk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Givenchy Amarige and Nasomatto Narcotic Venus spread further.
Which weather suits it
It is at its best in fall. It is less suited to summer. From best to least suited, the seasons are fall, winter, spring and summer.
