About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Pur Désir de Gardenia, launched in 2003 by Yves Rocher, is a floral fragrance for women that centers on gardenia. The note pyramid opens with gardenia, fruity notes, and spices; heart and base notes are not specified, but the main accords—white floral (100%), lactonic (58%), fruity (47%), animalic (44%), and warm spicy (40%)—reveal a lush, creamy, and slightly carnal character. This is not a fresh, green gardenia but a full-bodied, velvety interpretation with a soft, milky undertone and a subtle fruity-spicy warmth. The animalic facet adds depth, making it feel intimate and skin-like. Collectors who appreciate classic white florals with a gourmand-adjacent creaminess will find this compelling. It suits those who enjoy rich, heady florals for evening wear or cooler months. As a discontinued Yves Rocher release, it is increasingly hard to find, especially in good condition. The lack of heart and base notes in the record suggests a focus on the top-note impression, but the accords imply a persistent, enveloping trail. Ideal for fans of gardenia who want a softer, more rounded take.

中文簡介

Yves Rocher 於 2003 年推出的 Pur Désir de Gardenia,係一款以梔子花為主軸嘅女性花香調香水。香調金字塔前調係梔子花、果香同香料;中調同基調無具體資料,但主調和諧顯示:白花 100%、奶香 58%、果香 47%、動物感 44%、暖辛香 40%,營造出豐潤、creamy 且帶少許肉慾感嘅氣質。唔係清新綠意梔子花,而係天鵝絨般濃郁、帶奶滑底蘊同微果辛暖意嘅演繹。動物感增添親密感,似第二層肌膚。適合鍾意經典白花、鍾情奶甜感嘅收藏家,夜晚或涼爽季節用一流。由於已停產,保存良好嘅版本越嚟越難搵。缺少中基調記錄,反映重點可能喺前調印象,但主調和諧暗示留香持久、包覆感強。推薦畀想試柔和圓潤梔子花嘅用家。
