gardenia de madagascar
enveloping opulence
description
A fresh and romantic flower, the enigmatic beauty of the Gardenia is a coveted presence in Floral perfumery and yet it gives off so little scented oil that it is rarely – if ever – used in a fragrance. Built around a trio of its sister flowers, Rose and Jasmine capture the bright creaminess of the Gardenia, as hints of Bergamot lend a sunny brightness beneath a note of Styrax – a sweet fragrant resin with slight Vanillic and spicy undertones – which blends with Musk to enhance the sensuality found naturally in the flower.

roja’s musing
“Emerging from sun-baked orange earth and nestled amongst a swathe of waxen emerald leaves, precious teardrop buds unravel into little white stars. Released from these blooms, a heady cloud of scent unfurls into the evening. On hot summer nights with skin still warm from the sun’s rays, lovers passing by fall under the spell of the Gardenia. Air thick with humidity, the flower’s soft, creamy scent weaves itself like a charm into the tropical breeze. Enchanted by their song, a flower is picked off, and pushed gently behind an ear.” – ROJA DOVE.
