‘The entirety of a decade passes in an instant, lives change, evolve and take on new forms. Gardelia , in its renewed incarnation, ten years later, is a conscious nod not only to the masterpieces of perfumer Antonio Gardoni , whose sensibility is as sharp as a blade, but also to the lives that are dedicated to each other, beyond the passage of time, and to the continuity of passions. Some perfumes, as soon as they come into contact with the skin, silently implore a connection, a silent desire that crosses the space that separates them. Gardelia 2025 is one of these creations; the classicism of its previous version revitalized in a clear, modern and elegant vision. Brighter and lighter, in Antonio’s hands the gardenia becomes, with the ylang ylang , the rose and the osmanthus , a sensual and multifaceted beauty, that makes you kneel in reverence, crying with a joy so pure, as if it were flowing from the source, pure and simple. The eyes open, the filters thin out, the gardenia, not as you already knew it, shows itself naked, revealing its deepest core, a sublime and addictive essence. An enveloping caress of subdued memories and silent promises. Linear conceptions vanish once let in, past, present and future dissolve; the pages of the past roll in leaf by leaf, wrapped around the present moment like a breath of life, then soar into the winds of the future, floating in the scented breezes. An encounter beyond the periphery of perception, a glimpse into the fragrant soul of nature, splendid and magnificent.’ – Sacro Cuore Profumi (Translated)
