The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014 by Fueguia 1833, Agua de Gardenia is a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of Patagonian elegance and natural purity. Created by Julian Bedel, this scent opens with a bright green freshness that gives way to the rich, honeyed sweetness of gardenias. The lactonic and powdery accords add a subtle warmth that keeps the composition from feeling too overtly floral, making it suitable for both day and night.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a more intimate experience — it blooms close to skin rather than projecting across a room. The green top notes are fleeting, so let the powdery base take center stage by waiting an hour before reapplying if needed.
