Globally renowned for his richly-embroidered, jewel-encrusted gowns donned by esteemed members of high society, self-taught fashion designer and leading haute couturier Elie Saab’s artistry is extended into an exquisite fragrance collection.
Forming part of the fashion house’s La Collection des Essences, comprising nine editions composed by Armenian perfume maestro Francis Kurkdjian, N°2 Gardenia is a tribute to Trompe L'œil, a hyper-realistic art technique of using imagery to create an optical illusion of depth.
Evocative of a spring garden in full bloom, the fragrance draws upon this tribute to create a sensory illusion by reinterpreting the indolic scent of Gardenia through an olfactory bouquet of powdery white florals, anchored by creamy, woody accents.
Bottled in a multi-dimensional glass flacon that allow the delicate hues of the concentrated essences to shine through with pure clarity.
Mist one or two sprays around your neck and on your pulse points (areas where the body is warmer, such as the wrists, ankles, inside the elbows and behind the knees) from a minimum distance of 6 inches, then allow to dry without rubbing.
Tip: Can be worn alone or layered with other essences within the collection.
