Secret Gardenia

Secret Gardenia by Miller Harris is a floral fragrance with a strong woody side, a citrus lift and small touches of sweetness, musk and freshness. Mathieu Nardin composed it, it was released in 2019, and it is worn by anyone.

Yuzu, bergamot and pear open it with a juicy, tangy brightness, and water notes add a cool, dewy freshness. In the heart, gardenia takes centre stage with its creamy, lush white-flower richness, supported by jasmine and ylang-ylang for warmth and violet for a powdery softness. The base is smooth and clean, with cedar and sandalwood giving a soft woodiness and musk a skin-like finish.

Fresh yet creamy, it suits spring and summer, for daytime, garden parties and warm evenings. Those who love gardenia but want it lighter and fresher than a classic heady white floral will find this a pleasant option. It feels graceful and easy to wear, with the dewy opening and clean woods keeping the lush flower in balance.
