Gardenia Essence Oil

Sweet Floral, Hint of Citrus & the Flower That Tells Your Story

In the Pacific Islands, a gardenia worn on the right ear means you are available. On the left ear, you are taken. Few flowers in the world carry that kind of social eloquence — and few fragrances carry that kind of quiet power. Indigenous to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australia, the gardenia is an evergreen shrub whose white, multi-petaled flowers are among the most intensely fragrant in nature. Sweet and floral with a bright hint of citrus, expansive and deeply spiritual, it carries the energy of love, peace, and open-hearted connection. It is also a natural insect repellent — beauty and practicality in one. Uncut, alcohol-free, and beautifully long-lasting.

History & Heritage

Gardenias are indigenous to tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia, and Australia, growing as evergreen shrubs from two to twenty feet tall. Their white, five-to-nine-petaled flowers are extraordinarily fragrant. On some Pacific islands, the gardenia is worn as a social signal: right ear means available, left ear means taken — a beautiful tradition of wearing your heart on your sleeve, or rather, your ear.
