Gilded Gardenia was the August 2025 Perfume of The Month. Gilded Gardenia captures the intriguing, old-world charm of gardenia. Gardenia is a flowering shrub in the coffee family native to parts of Africa, Madagascar, Asia, Australia & the Pacific Islands. Its waxy, white flowers emit a scent that is thick, heavy, and sweet, with green undertones and a slight gourmand creaminess akin to delicate coconut water.
This fragrance beautifully recreates the essence of gardenia, combining it with a composition that includes Bergamot, Heliotrope, Jasmine, Orris, Vintage Amber Accord, Ambrette Seed, Ambergris, Vintage Musk, Vetiver, and East Indian Sandalwood.
