ABOUT

Tiare flower (Gardenia taitensis) smells like a radiant, creamy white floral with lush honeyed gardenia facets, a soft milky‑coconut nuance and a faint green‑waxy edge that evokes sun‑warmed skin, tropical blossoms and balmy island air. In perfumery it functions as a heart note to impart exotic, sensual white‑floral sweetness—frequently used in monoi‑style accords with coconut, ylang‑ylang, frangipani, orange blossom, vanilla and warm woods—to create beachy, gourmand or feminine bouquets and to add a skinlike creaminess to compositions.
