The gardenia scent is creamy, lush, and intensely floral, evoking the heady aroma of blooming gardenia flowers on a warm, humid evening. Its rich, velvety profile is perfect for crafting romantic and opulent fragrances.
Built using molecules like methyl benzoate and indole, gardenia combines sweet, creamy white florals with a subtle green freshness. It’s typically used in heart accords, adding depth and sensuality to floral, fruity, or oriental blends.
Compared to similar white florals like jasmine or tuberose, gardenia is creamier and more full-bodied, with an elegant, soft warmth. Perfect for candles, soaps, and body care products, the gardenia scent brings a timeless, luxurious charm to your creations.
