The story behind the bottle.
Jean-Claude Astier crafted Gardenia No 41 by M. Micallef as a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of gardenia, a flower known for its rich and creamy scent. The composition opens with bright jasmine and peach notes, adding an unexpected fruity twist to the heart of ylang-ylang and gardenia, which are traditionally white florals. The base features vanilla, ambergris, and musk, creating a warm and powdery backdrop that brings out the animalic undertones of the fragrance.
Apply Gardenia No 41 close to your skin for an intimate experience rather than projecting it into the air. The fruity top notes are fleeting, so let the fragrance develop on your skin over time, allowing the base notes to emerge gradually.
