The smell of fresh gardenia is one that always reminds me of being home in the south. It’s refreshing, crisp and simply makes you feel good. To this day, my mom still cuts a fresh gardenia bloom from the garden and places it in a little vase beside my bed whenever I’m back in Charleston to visit. It really is the little things in life.
Smelling AERIN Beauty’s Gardenia Rattan perfume instantly took me back to spring and summers in Georgia. Perfume is the perfect little luxury to me and the best way to start my day on the right (good smelling!) foot or for an evening spritz before date night. You know those perfumes that seem to disappear once you spray them? This isn’t one of them. I love that this actually lingers throughout the day. There are so many amazing scents that would make perfect gifts or added to an ever-growing wish list. The Ikat Jasmine and Waterlilly Sun are two other personal favorites if you’re looking for a new scent this season!

Ohh I love the smell of gardenias! I’m not usually a big floral perfume person but I’ve been loving floral scents this summer. This one sounds amazing!

I was able to smell one of their perfumes in the store the other day and agree with how you described the scent!! It’s so perfect for summer! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
And it doesn’t hurt that the bottle is so pretty! That’s so sweet that your mom does that for you 🙂
Sounds like my kind of perfume. I love a crisp, fresh scent. I have the Tory Burch perfume and I love it, but I’ll have to check this one out some time. 🙂
beautiful packaging and it sounds like it smells great! xo jillian
I love gardenias, too! That packaging is gorgeous. xo
I love that perfume as well, and the fantastic packaging definitely doesn’t hurt!
I bet this perfume smells ah-mazing!
My grandmother always used to have fresh Gardenias in her house so whenever I smell them it reminds me of her 🙂 That first picture is gorgeous!
I always choose gardenia candles, but I’ve never tried a perfume!! Gotta do that ASAP.
That’s so sweet of your mom! Aerin has really great lipsticks too, I have one I love!
