An interesting gardenia post

written by Laurie October 16, 2009

Anya from the Natural Perfumer’s Guild and Anya’s Garden Natural Perfumes just posted about the various new gardenia extract products that are being developed — it’s an interesting post and has some beautiful photos that will help you learn the difference between the various types of gardenia.

I had posted a while ago about one of these natural gardenia products but it’s great to know other options are on the way!

Hi Laurie:

Thanks for catching my blog, I was long overdue in writing about the new gardenias from tahiti and china.

I was the first person to get the gardenia enfleurage butter from Trygve, and wrote about it way back then. It is gorgeous, isn’t it?

However, I think the price is prohibitive, and thus I am very excited by the new entry into the market from China, and of course, I encourage everyone to try to make their own. Flower markets can often order ‘seconds’, aka misshapen gardenias at wholesale at a good price.

Hi Anya,

Yes, I found the price point of the Enfleurage product prohibitive too, so I was excited to see your post. I’d love to try the product from China; I’ll look into it.

That’s a great idea to check with a flower market. I’ve tried to grow gardenias here and they just don’t seem happy in our dry summer heat, but maybe I need to experiment with other varieties. SF has a big flower market so that’s an interesting idea. It’d be fun to try to make some. 🙂

Thanks again for the informative post (and beautiful photos) and thanks for your additional comments here!
