The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 by Miller Harris and crafted by Mathieu Nardin, Secret Gardenia is a Floral fragrance for women and men. This composition opens with aquatic and fresh notes like yuzu and bergamot, creating an immediate sense of crispness and lightness. The heart introduces gardenia and jasmine alongside violet and ylang-ylang, bringing a lush floral bouquet that feels both delicate and enveloping. The base rounds out the scent with musk, sandalwood, cedar, and woody notes, grounding the freshness in a subtle warmth.
Secret Gardenia projects best when applied in two layers — a first pass to set the top notes, followed by another after five minutes for a more rounded experience. The fresh opening fades within an hour, so it's best suited for daytime wear or early evening events.
