Jour d’Hermès Gardénia is new from Hermès, and since I was charmed by the original Jour d’Hermès, and even more charmed by Jour D’Hermès Absolu, (and yes, longtime readers know I am a fan of the brand in general) of course I wanted to try it. It helps, of course, that I also love gardenia.
A quick recap: Jour d’Hermès was meant to be gardenia and sweet pea, and the Absolu was gardenia and jasmine. To my untrained nose, they were both abstract bouquets, of the dewy-springtime variety, with the Absolu a bit more floral than the regular. I expected about the same of Jour d’Hermès Gardénia, which promised gardenia, rose and jasmine…
