Gardenia

Gardenia by Theodoros Kalotinis delivers a powdery, gourmand floral with a strong vanilla base that evolves into a soft, creamy sweetness. While the name suggests a dominant gardenia note, most find the opening to be an intense, cloud-like powder that quickly mellows and shifts toward vanilla and white florals—though not strongly gardenia-like. The fragrance is widely praised for its smooth blending, long-lasting presence, and strong sillage, making it ideal for daytime wear and spring season. It creates a clean, airy, romantic impression that many describe as resembling talc or sweet powder, with little indolic or heavy olfactory presence. Despite the name, it leans more toward a modern, youthful gourmand than a traditional white floral.
