Pure love in liquid form

I’ve been studying the last side-project of fantastic Bogue Profumo since the 2025 launch for few months now and, sincerely, I’m not really into debate about this and the first iteration anymore, given that, finally, with the hot summer climate Gardelia blossoms with all its splendour.
This perfume is pure love.
Love for art; love for life; love without compromise.
From the very first start, you are enveloped in a cloud of velvety, purple, humid, sweet and sour aromas as you were coming in the most fabulous garden together with Alice in Wonderland.
Gardenias here are worked with luminous cananga flower oil and fruity osmanthus, adorned with afghan roses absolutes and tempered with earthy and green haitian Vetiver.
A touch of rhum and a generous amount of benjoin and styrax tonka resins give a deeper, modern effect: maestro Gardoni succeeded to realize a french vintage inspired formula without obviousness.
Lavender, jasmin, tuberose, vanilla, magnolia, narcissus and a little civet close the circle for the ultimate animalic signature of the brand, in the sign of MAAI theme.
A true Classic.

A masterpiece of modern perfumery

Bogue Gardelia is not your standard gardenia fragrance. It avoids the bright and airy interpretations of this iconic white flower and instead gives you a rich, layered and somewhat brazen olfactory experience. It's a fragrance for the people who love bold, artistic perfumery. The scent never shies away from being wearisome. It is an unmistakable statement. Gardelia reminds me of wearing a vintage-glamour gown and feeling sensitively yet deeply aligned with nature and the world. The "dirty" or "muddy" aspects of Gardelia which some may find off putting, are what gives Gardelia its originality and depth and makes it more than an ordinary floral. Gardelia is to be experienced, unfurling over time and revealing its greater depth of layers. Gardelia is so complex and beautiful it likely sometimes best worn at more evening times of day, or the colder half of the year, but a confident individual could make Gardelia an all-day signature.

Gardelia 2025

I’ll try to be short on this review, because it can get really dispersive.
If you had the pleasure to try the old one i’ll tell you, it’s really similar. It’s less sweet, less sticky and resinous, but you get more green gardenia, more balsamic notes in Maai style.
It’s one of the most elegant perfumes you can get your nose on, complex, layered.
As always Gardoni successfully gets my “best nose alive” award.

Gardelia, una fiamma eterna

I have spent some time with the new Gardelia to feel confident enough to give my thoughts on this latest collaboration between Antonio Gardoni and Profumeria Al Sacro Cuore.

Firstly, I don't think it's worth comparing to the first version or any other Gardoni creation, although it borrows from the original and the first iterations of MAAI. Overall, I find it a standalone creation in the BOGUE universe, with little comparison to be drawn to any other perfume, even outside this space. Perhaps I could make a parallel with Lost in Flowers from Strangelove NYC due to how the floral bouquet comes across in portraying that same lush and naturalistic imagery.

Gardelia 2025 is a Green-White Floral Chypre, although the green component isn't that conspicuous. It is built with plenty of high-quality materials, easy to recognize throughout its evolution, and woven into a seamless flume by Antonio. Not an easy feat when working with so many delicate and complex naturals. Like so many BOGUE perfumes, the blend is spotless, and the transitions between the top, mid, and base feel like oil brush strokes smoothly blended.
The opening is short-lived, introducing a quick burst of overripe bergamot, not your usual bright and bracing type, alongside a peppery facet. This part is detectable when smelling the perfume up close, but goes almost unnoticed when applying it to the neck/chest. Shortly after, the florals come into play, and they hold the stage for a good while, partly overlapping with the base before slowly fading away. Unlike the first version, here I find the Gardenia to be not just easily detectable but the main floral note, supported by a shy Jasmine and a curious Ylang-Ylang that pops in and out sporadically. I don't think I have smelled another perfume to put Gardenia to such great use as in here. It is not only highlighted but stretched in its profile, allowing its beautiful natural facets to come through - green, milky, slightly tropical, sweet, and creamy. When I smelled Gardelia for the first time years ago, I thought, "This is the best floral perfume ever made." I believe this version does justice to its predecessor while offering something new, with emphasis placed on the Gardenia flower. The base of the fragrance is incredibly smooth with an almost velvety texture comprised of vetiver, resins, moss, and civet. It strikes a perfect balance without feeling overly stuffy, dirty/musky, bitter, sweet, or smoky. I feel this version improves on the original in the base by smoothing out the creases and upgrading the complexity.

Overall, the flame still burns at Sacro Cuore with the new version of Gardelia. It is a new floral terroir by Antonio Gardoni; hence, if you like his treatment of flowers, you can't go wrong. It feels more streamlined and mature than the previous version, better quality, and more restrained than vintage MAAI. It's a white floral chypre par excellence that puts Gardenia into the limelight for those who have been searching for a perfume that focuses on this beautiful, rare, and very expensive material. It fits nicely into the BOGUE floral portfolio, one that continues to offer and expand with already so many excellent tributes.
