Jane Packer Gardenia Eau De Parfum 50ml

I previously purchased a few 10 ml bottles boxed from a shopping channel to test the different fragrances, I found this in one of my handbags the other day and sprayed it and remembered how much I loved it! I knew I had to have the full size so went back to order the full size from the shopping channel, it had been reduced from the original price of £45 to £21 which I though was good but postage was extra so I thought I would check the price on here, Wow.. I couldn't believe the price, £7.39 and so with the £2 postage just £9.39 in total. I am so thrilled, the perfume is lovely and at £9.39 for 50 ml of perfume not eau de toilette it is a true bargain!!!

I have been looking for a Gardenia based scent for a while now and looking at the two previous reviews I thought I'd risk buying this perfume. I was so dissapointed when I tried this when it arrived. It has a very strange, strong chemical smelling top note that takes well over an hour to die back before you get the floral base notes. These notes are more rose based than gardenia, in fact I and a couple of people I have given a "sniff" to cannot detect any gardenia at all. It has put me off buying anything from this manufacturer again.

A lot stronger than I expected,almost too overpowering,I use it very sparingly.

Lovely quality.

Gorgeous fragrance although not easy to find now which is a pit. The fragrance lasts a good long time without cloying or changing.

I thought I loved gardenia but now I am not sure.I also love pachouli and know the smell but cannot detect thisCedar wood should be fresh like pine forest - not there.I just got this and I am shocked that anyone would charge me this money fo smell of moth balls.
