Jungle Gardenia

So I received the Jungle Gardenia today and other reviewers are correct, it is quite small, purse size only, which is why the price is low for eau de perfume vs. cologne. More importantly, it somewhat smells like the original Tuvache Jungle Gardenia that I wore in the 60s (yes, I'm one of those who loved this scent, I also love Gardenias). I read other reviews indicating that ingredients have indeed changed meeting newer regulations restricting some of the ingredients thus the scent is somewhat different and this is true. I'm also unsure how well this scent "stays with you", I've only sampled it and although it is very potent (only need a small amt.), I don't believe it lingered. Perhaps I've just moved on and what I loved back in the day perhaps just didn't meet current expectations? I wanted it to smell more like the flower itself and there is just something "off" about it. It is pleasant, I'll just have to use it a little more. It just doesn't do it for me but it is something I likely will use. I'm going to keep searching for a perfume that perhaps smells more like the flower, which is a more delicate smell. I think I would simply suggest that people looking for the original experiment with the various products out there??

It does not smell as good as the original Jungle Gardenia from 35 years ago, but will suffice as a substitute.

Great product , smaller size than expected

The smell is different than before!

Not quite like the original , but still gardenia!!

Smells like the old traditional one my mother wore 40 years ago. Still exotic and classy. I love the metal container instead of glass. I take it traveling as its easier to pack without worry over breakage that I have with glass bottles.

If there was a way to give this product less than one star I would have given it less. I have never been as disappointed in anything as I was that perfume. I have used Jungle Gardenia and it has never smelled that bad. It went in the garbage Christmas day. I have read so many negative reviews about perfumes sold on amazon I will never ever buy any thru amazon again. I was so disgusted. It was the main thing that I ask for at Christmas and it is in the garbage.

True retro fragrance . I gifted this item to a relative that used this scent many years ago- brought back memories.
