An intoxicatingly sultry fragrance of delicate, floral proportions—gardenia balances between alluringly sensual qualities and rather floaty, soft and whimsical facets. The milky white petals of gardenia flowers match its creamy, sweet essence. A woody and deeply floral fragrance found in high-end feminine fragrances, and typically used as a middle note in floral bouquets.
Gardenia, like jasmine, tuberose, and freesia, is the Queen of the White Florals in perfume. It’s heady, full, vanilla-and-smoke aroma is one of the most classic notes in all of fragrance, and those that love it can’t do without it. Gardenia is best in big white florals, where it’s natural power can fully bloom. It’s grandeur and feminine sensuality are ideal for hotter weather, and summer is where it truly soars.
