Perfume experts - help me find "A warm oriental-floral scent featuring gardenia with green leaves"

This is how the, discontinued, Shu Uemura Shusu Sleek hair range is described. The products were excellent and gave my hair a cloud of gorgeous fragrance.

I'd describe the scent as warm, slightly spicy, a little flowery... There was a hint of pencil sharpenings (really, and once someone pointed this out to me I couldn't not smell it). I have never knowingly met a gardenia but it had a little of the delicious peppery scent of freesia.😁I would love to find something similar, ideally available in a body lotion - strong scents give me a headache, plus I work in a confined space and don't want to overpower my colleagues.

In the meantime, clearly yearning for a bit of sophistication and glamour, I have purchased two Diptyque Hair mists (Du Son and Eau Rose) not that I think they will resemble what I am looking for, however I do like rose, just not nearly as much.

Thanks for any suggestions 😀

Look into either Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia or Diptyque Rose hair mist.
