Gardénia Extrait by Isabey is an exquisite oriental floral fragrance that embodies opulence and seduction. This fragrance is a more intense, sensual version of the classic Eau de Parfum, with richer leather and amber notes that create a lasting depth. Perle de Gardénia was developed for those who appreciate bold yet refined fragrances that capture the essence of luxury and feminine sophistication.
The fragrance opens with a lively top note of neroli, ylang essence and orange absolute. The first impression is a bright and luminous blend that immediately captivates the senses and leads seamlessly into the heart of the composition. The heart note unfolds into an exotic and lush embrace of gardenia, mingling with delicate rose essence and powdery iris. This bouquet of white blooms emphasises the femininity of the fragrance and creates an aura that is both delicate and intense and seductive.
As the fragrance settles, the base notes bring a deeper, seductive warmth. White leather adds a subtle, animalic note that blends with the resinous richness of labdanum. Amber and sandalwood add layers of warmth, enveloping the fragrance in an enveloping, sensual finish. Together, these base notes form a dangerous yet captivating liaison that further enhances the sophisticated character of the perfume.
Isabey is celebrating its 100th anniversary and honouring the legacy of Le Collier d'Isabey, which was first presented at the Paris Art Deco Exhibition in 1925. As a tribute to its heritage, the house continues to use its signature pear-shaped bottle for Perle de Gardénia.
The white pearl is a symbol of love. La Perle de Gardénia has been one of Isabey's essentials since its creation. In 2000, the fragrance was reintroduced in a limited edition with a handcrafted bottle and box, and in 2007 as an Eau de Parfum.
This high-end pearl is now adorned with white leather. The epitome of elegance in its handcrafted coffret, this pearl is a shining star in the night. Its opulent fragrance is the signature of grace, romance and intensity. What better way to celebrate love?
