I just want to introduce myself.

Hi there! i just found this website, and it's fabulous! I just wish I'd found it years ago. I love perfume, rose is my favourite scent. Gardenia is a very close second. I enjoy EDP's the most, although I will use EDT if I have no other choice. Any suggestions for perfumes with rose as the main fragrance would be awesome, any gardenia ones too. Or even better, if there's a rose and gardenia scent, where the 2 are mixed!
Anyway, nice to meet you all. I hope to get to know you better!

Hi Mosaic! Welcome from another newbie! I'm not a huge fan of rose, so I'm not a good judge of that, but as far as gardenia goes, I find the gardenia in Dior Pure Poison to be very pronounced. Still, all time favorite gardenia is Marc Jacobs. I wore it for quite a while, and I've been tempted to go back to it.

Hello, Mosaic. Have you tried layering your favorite rose with a favorite gardenia fragrance? It could work beautifully.
Welcome to Basenotes!

Mosaic - welcome to BN - I suggest Eau Suave by PdE as something awesome for you to try out. Have fun.

Welcome aboard buddy. Please remember to always sample before your purchase, it will save you a lot of money and disappointment.

+1 for Stella McCartney. Paul Smith Rose is a lovely, true rose scent.

My favourite gardenias are Estee Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia, & Van Cleef & Arpels Gardenia Petale.

l don't recall any perfumes that have both notes.

Welcome to basenotes!

Welcome!

try Hothouse Flower by Ineke. Soooooo nice. Ineke also makes a pleasant one called Briar Rose.

I'm pretty new here, too. Good to have you with us!

Welcome. Aside from any suggestions you have and will get, you can always try the fragrance directory; hit the advanced search tab and you can search fragrances by notes, or combination of notes. I just ran it and it said there were 155 fragrances with those two notes together. Have fun!
