‘Gardenia is one of the most sought after notes in perfumery. Many people spend an entire lifetime in pursuit of a true gardenia perfume that smells as resplendent as the blooming flower. A Perfumer can either build beauty into a floral fragrance by getting crafty with chemicals to fool the nose, or they can rely on Nature to bring the magic Herself. The latter is what Christi has chosen here. MAVYN’S gardenia is not an accord, rather an artisan enfleurage of hand tended hothouse gardenias from Colombia, South America. Companion essences of noble woods and midlife medicinal herbs amplify the gardenia without detracting from her grandeur. A strange and special magic only attainable from Mother Nature herself. ‘ – House Of Matriarch
