Gardenia Passion by Goutal was launched in 1989, created by the visionary perfumer Annick Goutal. This fragrance centers around gardenia, a white floral that is both lush and slightly animalic, enhanced by tuberose for an opulent richness. The composition also features jasmine and orange blossom, creating a sumptuous heart before settling into a base of vanilla with a subtle green undertone. Gardenia Passion captures the essence of a flower that is at once delicate and sensual.
