Banana Republic Gardenia & Cardamom

This fragrance was such a disappointment. I purchased it because I love the smell of cardamom which by the way I can hardly smell. This fragrance smells more like a backyard bug spray. It doesn’t stay on the skin very long which was a big disappointment for me. The perfume that I purchased with this one and costs half the price lasts 6-8 hours. Save your money unless you like applying a scent several times a day. Get the smaller size that fits in your purse, you’ll need it.
