Family:  SOLIFLORE

“Lush Colombian gardenia swells from spirits of Tahitian black pearls, offering rapturous delight through your entire drydown.”

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. 

Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 2 reviews.

This is a really beautiful

"This is a really beautiful and multi-faceted fragrance. A little sweet, a little spicy, a little herbal, warm, and waxy, with a slightly powdery finish a few hours in. Definitely unique—not your average gardenia fragrance. Between this, Mother of All Roses, and Lingerie, I think House of Matriarch's florals are top-notch. Like many of their fragrances, this stays pretty close to skin, but I really don't mind that. For the most part, I wear my fragrances for myself to smell and appreciate at home."

A fresh light cloud of

"A fresh light cloud of loveliness. So unexpected, this gardenia is never cloying or overwhelming like so many synthetic fragrances. It's what you imagine a clean blue sky to smell like. Very uplifting."

— Tina A. (5/5)
