So many gardenias are on the market, one more ostentatious than the other, one more "complex"than the other and it is fine with me. You can create a surrealistic gardenia, a cubist one, an impressionist one or one in the manner of pointillism. And that is also fine with me and I appreciate the effort of trying to find new facets for this flower.
The gardenia scent that gives me the feeling of being a child again is foundable in Kai only.
It is such a tender caress in this perfume, such a serenity , that my entire being is returned to that time of innocence and nonchalance when you are not aware of troubles and daily struggle and dark days that life can through your way. My childhood in a bottle.

I have a penchant for buying and trying perfumes falling under the label " nobody wants me".
No trumpets and drums sounding their presence in the world.
And to make a short story long, lately I got interested in the Crown Perfumery line, after reading about its history and demise and I purchased, in time, almost all the perfumes still available, both for men and women. And with every and each one I discovered wonderful scents, good quality materials, great compositions and, something I never take into consideration, elegant bottles.
And now I will make the long story short: Malabar is a good, strong, beautiful oriental , in Mitsouko genre, with a little bit more powder, abondant in jasmine and with the same longevity but lesser sillage than the latter one. I was so surprised by it! This is a rich scent that lets your imagination wander. All Crown Perfumery creations have been discontinued and if you want to try some, go for Malabar and Matsukita.
