    ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE:
    Cruel Gardénia is a delightful trap. Bewitching and almost hypnotic, the gardenia flower reveals a startling sweetness.

    The gardenia accord is imbued with heady ylang ylang and dangerously charmed by enveloping musks. This aura bestows the fragrance with a tenderness that tugs at the heartstrings.

    The L'Art & La Matière collection embodies all the Maison's artistic heritage, elevating fragrance to the rank of art.

    ABOUT THE BOTTLE:
    Taking inspiration from the Guerlain heritage Square Bottle (1870) and made by Pochet du Courval (historic glassmakers of the House), the L'Art & La Matière bottle is an exceptional object whose design exudes unisex sophistication steeped in modernity.

    HOW TO USE IT:
    Spray Cruel Gardénia generously onto the skin and pulse points, allowing it to perfume every moment of life.

Cruel Gardenia is divine.

I sampled this cologne at the Bellagio hotel a couple of months ago. I loved it and was a little put off by the price. But I turned 75 a few days ago and I decided to buy it for myself for my birthday. It smells divine.

Gardenia but unisex

This is a complete blind buy and the name says it all. I smell cruelty. I am familiar with all the notes in the description, yet they blend together in a surprising unisex way. This can be worn by gentlemen as well. Nothing too floral, its very clean cut that one may even want to experiment with layering.

Cruel Gardenia

Love this scent! Rose Barbarre is another favorite of mine. Tried them both at the flagship store on the Champs Elyesee and I have been hooked ever since. So glad I can buy them online!
