In the heart of Astarte’s secret garden, Frangipani and Gardenia grow defiantly side by side, two flowers of extraordinary beauty and intoxicating scent.

Astarte, the ancient goddess of love, fertility and desire, was worshipped across the ancient Near East as a powerful symbol of feminine strength and sensuality. Her garden is imagined as a place where beauty knows no boundaries, where passion can flourish and forbidden desires are allowed to bloom.

The proximity of Frangipani and Gardenia was once feared, for their combined fragrance was said to be so hypnotic that it could cloud the senses and awaken desires best left untouched. Yet, against all odds, they continue to bloom together. The creamy, luminous richness of Gardenia intertwines with the exotic, velvety sweetness of Frangipani, their contrasting personalities drawn irresistibly towards one another.

From this secret union emerges a sensual and captivating fragrance, where lush white flowers unfold in a warm, enveloping embrace. A scent story of forbidden love, magnetic attraction and the beauty of surrendering to desire.
