The story behind the bottle.
Vintage Gardenia by Jo Malone London was launched in 2004, crafted by perfumer Jo Malone herself. This floral fragrance opens with the bright and clean scent of tuberose before transitioning into a warm spicy and balsamic heart that adds depth and complexity. The composition is anchored by woody and smoky base notes that give it an earthy and sensual edge. Vintage Gardenia captures the essence of a refined and lasting elegance, blending classic florals with subtle warmth.
Vintage Gardenia has a relatively long-lasting woody base that builds on skin over time. Apply it lightly at first to avoid overpowering the delicate balance of its notes. It pairs well with light layers like cotton blouses or cashmere sweaters.
