Gardénia Antigua
Unspecified
Imagine a moment suspended in time, on the black sand beaches of Antigua, the scent of the ocean breeze mingling with the delicate fragrance of white gardenia and jasmine. Gardénia Antigua perfume captures the essence of this moment in a solar and opulent floriental fragrance that unfolds like a radiant flower. The fragrance opens with a unique fresh and sweet mineral accord, reminiscent of warm sand and ocean air. At its heart, a beautiful and intense white jasmine mingles with creamy gardenia and ylang-ylang, leaving a sensuous and luminous white floral trail. The base notes of white musks, ambergris, and moss create a long-lasting, sophisticated warmth that lingers on the skin.
