Launched in 2020 by Jo Malone London, Gardenia & Oud Absolu is a captivating Oriental Floral scent that marries the sweet and creamy essence of gardenia with the deep, smoky charm of oud. The fragrance opens with a burst of white flowers before diving into the rich heart of gardenia, which forms an intimate connection with the woody, animalic undertones of agarwood. This composition is further enhanced by warm amber and musky notes that create a comforting cocoon around the wearer.

Application Tips
For this fragrance, focus on applying it in areas where your body naturally heats up — think wrists, neck, and behind the ears. The white musk and powdery base notes bloom slowly over time, so a lighter hand in application will allow these layers to develop more gradually throughout the day.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet intimacy of a city apartment, where soft candlelight casts shadows on the walls and the scent of gardenia intertwines with the smoky warmth of oud.
