Part of our Professional Perfumers Range — curated for the discerning natural perfumer seeking exceptional depth and rarity.

Due to the rare and limited nature of this material, please allow a lead time of 5-7 days depending on availability.

This opulent Gardenia absolute is a solvent-extracted aromatic prized by artisan perfumers for its lush, intoxicating floral character. The Cape Jasmine (Gardenia florida L., syn. Gardenia jasminoides, Rubiaceae) has been treasured for centuries, and this absolute delivers a sumptuously sweet, deeply floral bouquet with captivating richness and persistence.

Scent Profile

An immediate, heady sweetness unfolds into layers of creamy, narcotic florality, with soft petal sweetness and a warm, powdery depth as it settles. A specialist perfumery-grade ingredient rather than an aromatherapy oil.

Blending Suggestions

Gardenia harmonises beautifully with Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Neroli and Rose for voluptuous white floral accords. It also pairs well with warm spice oils and bright citrus notes, lending depth and sophistication to oriental, floral-gourmand and chypre compositions.
