Cruel Gardénia is a delightful trap. So often bewitching and almost narcotic, here the flower reveals a startling sweetness.
The gardenia accord is imbued with heady ylang ylang and dangerously charmed by enveloping musks. This vaporous aura bestows the fragrance with a tenderness that tugs at the heartstrings.
THE FRAGRANCE ARTIST’S TOUCH
Gardenia, usually so sultry and opulent, becomes ensnared in dangerously sweet musks. Out of this sensual bodily encounter, the flower emerges deliciously cruel.
GARDENIA ACCORD
Gardenia is a powerful, sensual white flower with fruity accents. Yet, paradoxically, it stays mute in the world of Perfumery, unable to offer up its fragrance through the traditional techniques of distillation or extraction.
It must be written as an accord, as if composing a poem. For Cruel Gardénia, notes of rose, neroli, ylang ylang and peach recreate its trail.
