Cruel Gardénia by Guerlain, released in 2008, is a floral composition built on a classic pyramid. It opens with a bright trio of neroli, rose, and peach, leading into a lush heart of gardenia, violet, and ylang-ylang. The base settles into musk, tonka bean, sandalwood, and vanilla, creating a soft, lingering trail. Collectors will appreciate its balanced structure: the white floral and powdery accords dominate, while musky, sweet, violet, and woody nuances add depth.

This fragrance suits those who enjoy vintage-style white florals with a powdery finish. It is ideal for daytime elegance or evening sophistication, appealing to women who prefer classic, romantic scents. The 1L01 designation indicates a specific batch or concentration, making it a sought-after item for Guerlain enthusiasts. Whether you are a longtime collector or new to the house, Cruel Gardénia offers a timeless floral experience that remains true to Guerlain's heritage.

中文簡介

Guerlain Cruel Gardénia(2008)以經典花香金字塔構築:前調是橙花、玫瑰與桃子的明亮組合,中調綻放梔子花、紫羅蘭與依蘭依蘭的馥郁花香,基調則以麝香、零陵香豆、檀香與香草收尾,散發柔和綿長的餘韻。主調以白花與粉感為主,麝香、甜香、紫羅蘭與木質氣息增添層次。

此香適合鍾情復古白花與粉質妝感的女性,日常優雅或晚間聚會皆宜。1L01 代表特定批次或濃度,對收藏家而言更具意義。若你欣賞經典浪漫的香氣,這款值得一試。
