The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Fleurs de Gardenia by Creed was launched in 2012 and created by Olivier Creed and Julien Rasquinet, blending the house’s storied heritage with contemporary refinement. This Floral Green fragrance opens with a burst of freshness from galbanum and pink pepper before diving into the lush heart of gardenia, lily-of-the-valley, and peony. The base notes of musk, cedar, and patchouli ground this composition in warm earthiness, creating a harmonious balance between floral elegance and woody depth.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays directly onto pulse points. The bright top notes are fleeting but impactful, so let the composition settle for about five minutes before heading out. This fragrance reads best close to skin, where its warm base notes come through more clearly.
