Description from the website: Cruel Gardénia is a delightful trap. So often bewitching and almost narcotic, here the flower reveals a startling sweetness.

The gardenia accord is imbued with heady ylang ylang and dangerously charmed by enveloping musks. This vaporous aura bestows the fragrance with a tenderness that tugs at the heartstrings.

Notes: Damask rose, peach, neroli, gardenia, ylang-ylang, violet, tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood, white musk.
