Launched in 2007 by Marc Jacobs, Floating Gardenias is a unisex fragrance that balances freshness and warmth. The scent opens with the bright citrus of Sicilian Bergamot and sea notes, creating an immediate sense of lightness and clarity. At its heart, gardenia and honeysuckle create a lush floral bouquet, while marigold adds a subtle spiciness. The base notes of white woods and musk anchor this composition with a soft, enveloping warmth.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers for maximum effect — it blooms over time with each layer adding depth. The sea notes and bergamot are prominent initially but give way to the floral heart within an hour.
