Jardin de Borneo Gardenia
Fragrance notes
Character
Sunlight warms the terrace stones while a potted gardenia bush releases its cream-colored petals into the air. Jasmine sambac curls around that floral heart, adding a dewy freshness that feels alive in the bright morning heat. Tuberose soon joins the mix, its heavy white presence softened by smooth sandalwood and a cool breath of lavender that keeps the air from turning thick.
Beneath the flowers, Haitian vetiver and galbanum introduce a green, earthy stem that grounds the scent against the warm stones. Calamus and katrafay add a dry, aromatic edge while tonka bean spreads a gentle, rounded warmth. Oud and ambergris sit low in the blend, giving the scent a steady presence that stays close to the skin yet remains noticeable as the hours pass, never fading quickly or demanding attention from across the yard.
Civet lends a faint, animalic purr to the base, a raw touch that makes the white petals feel untamed rather than polished. The aromatic woods and warm spicy tones wrap around the wearer like a second skin, lingering through the bright hours without needing a top-up. This is a scent built from white floral abundance and deep amber resonance.
