Gardenia Petale is a floral fragrance from Van Cleef & Arpels, released in 2009 and composed by Nathalie Feisthauer, with only a light citrus touch alongside the flowers. It is a fresh, green white-floral rather than a heavy one.

The notes form one blend. Gardenia is the centre, with its creamy, slightly green petals, joined by jasmine for a soft sweetness and a general white-flower accord that fills out the bouquet. Lily of the valley adds a dewy, clean freshness, while green notes and citrus keep the whole composition bright, airy and crisp rather than rich.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, with some finding it weak, and the trail stays moderate to intimate. It is voted for spring and summer, and overwhelmingly for daytime. That makes it a gentle choice for work, daytime events and warm-weather outings, for someone who likes fresh white florals that stay discreet.
