The story behind the bottle.
Roja Dove launched Gardenia in 2012 as an ode to the white floral, creating a composition that is both delicate and enveloping. The fragrance opens with bergamot, adding a fresh citrus sparkle before diving into a lush heart of jasmine, orange blossom, mimosa, heliotrope, violet, rose, and peach. This rich blend of florals is grounded by a musky base of elemi, sandalwood, styrax, cedar, and cloves, creating an aroma that feels both lasting and intimate.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow the complexity of its floral notes to unfold gradually. The bergamot top note fades within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain its fresh citrus sparkle throughout the day.
