Trance-inducing gardenias

My gardenia trees have been blooming and the scent is so rich and heavy I get weak in the knees every time I walk past them to my kitchen door. The flowers are creamy white and flawless- they look like they are made from butter cream icing. But it is the perfume they give off which is almost obscene in it's heavy deliciousness, the air is thick with it. You can almost see and feel it swirl around you as you walk by the trees. It reminds me of a cartoon showing the "smell cloud" slink around the corner and under someones nose to entice them.
