The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Gardenia by Floris was launched in 1996 and embodies the house's tradition of elegance and refinement. This floral fragrance opens with green notes and fruity undertones that add a fresh, vibrant touch before settling into the rich heart of gardenia, jasmine, lily, cyclamen, and tuberose. The woody base, anchored by sandalwood and French labdanum, provides warmth and depth, creating a composition that is both delicate and enduring.

How to wear it

Apply Gardenia lightly to pulse points — it blooms on skin over time, so a few sprays will carry you through the day. The fruity and green top notes are brief, but the rich floral heart and warm base notes last for hours.
