I have hated Estee Lauder perfumes in the past (artificial as many of you have already stated). But I kinda liked Beyond Paradise which is also a floral. However, it is a bit too strong. Does this new one bowl you over with strength? Does it smell anyithing like Beyond Paradise? I like to smell like spring flowers (especially gardenia) but in a very demure, ladylike, soft way. The synthetic ingredients turn me off — really! Why can’t they put the REAL oils in like they did when my grandmother used it and smelled so good that I remember it to this day!

I bought a bottle of the Turberrose Gardenia and I am hooked. I am saving now so I can buy the Creme or Lotion as I like to layer and you don’t have to use much. I received so many compliments from people when we went to Church and then to the Mall, women and even one man stopped me to ask what Perfume I was wearing. I told him but then told him that here in our area you can’t buy it. I wish we could I love itI have a few sites I am going to see if they have it.

Well, I wish I could say I loved this one, and I wanted to; I did for 5 minutes and then all the white flowers went away and I was left with the all too familiar “Lauder accord.” My skin does not usually eat white flowers like that, so I have to guess that it is a problem with synthetics. I too have had a problem in the past with Lauders smelling artificail - the only one I really like is good old Azuree. Even White Linen turns on me, as innocuous as it first seems. I had high hopes for this, and I am really glad it seems to work for a lot of people, but I am not one of them.

Vika, I’m so glad you said that! This question has been bothering me ever since I first tried Tuberose Gardenia. It simply must be made with more natural ingredients. Good to know!

Cindy, LOL! According to Marina, my dark side has already past - in my aquatic floral loving stage several years back. But I think I’m slowly converting to lush, white florals. Somewhat reluctantly, I guess. Ah, but it’s all good, right?

Lucy, it is indeed a masterpiece. Not heady at all - there is some headiness present but it’s so smooth and silky, it never bothers you.

Greeneyes, yes, completely different. This one is extremely easy to wear.

Marina, that pool of yours is beyond appealing. I’d love to join you wearing the same dress and the perfume.
