Gardenia is the quintessential Southern flower — heavy-bloomed, intensely fragrant, the scent that fills a garden on a Georgia evening in June. The fragrance profile is creamy, sweet, and floral without the sharpness that some florals have. It's romantic without being overtly feminine, and it layers well with other scents rather than competing with them.
The Rinse Gardenia collection includes bar soap, Skin Stick, Body Spread, Body Bliss oil, Sugar Scrub, and a gift set pairing Gardenia with Fresh Fig — a combination that works because the green, woody fig balances the sweetness of the gardenia. The Body Bliss oil in Gardenia is a particularly good format for this scent — the fragrance stays with the skin longer in an oil base and develops more complexity over the course of the day. For a complete floral gift, the Gardenia and Fresh Fig gift bundle offers an interesting contrast that appeals to customers who like sophisticated, garden-inspired scents. Handmade in Monroe, Georgia since 2003.
