🌸 The Inspiration: The Living Flower
A gardenia bloom just before it turns brown. Imperial White Gardenia isolates the creamy, mushroomy heart of Honour Woman. It removes the resin to focus on the White Petal, Green Stem, and Rhubarb Sap. It is fleshy, humid, and narcotic.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Cream and Sap
The scent opens with Rhubarb. The heart is pure Gardenia Absolute and Tuberose. The base is Green Sap. It is linear and lush.
