Nuances in Gardenia flowers

Just wanted to post some thoughts about their scents here. Please also contribute with what you have.

First to my nose, a gardenia scent is pretty much the same among the different varities. I would describe it something like coconut and crayolas. But I do notice slight variation mixed in and I'll do my best to describe them after smelling several flowers on the same plants.

Chuck Hayes - some notes similar to Grand Duke of Tuscany jasmine

Veitchii - soft peppery notes

Frostproof - sweet caramel-like notes (now that I think about it, it smells somewhat like that noID red plumeria I have)
