About Jovan Island Gardenia Jovan Island Gardenia is a light and sophisticated floral fragrance for women. The fragrance was first launched by Jovan in 1982 and has remained a classic, feminine perfume for decades. Delicate and wild at the same time, this fragrance was inspired by the beauty of nature. The simple fragrance of a dew drenched soft gardenia warmed by the sun. Fragrance Family: Floral Scent Type: Floral, green, fresh, earthy Notes: As the name of this fragrance suggests, gardenia shines through in the blend of subtlely sweet top notes including mandarin, rose, ylang-ylang, coconut, green apple and peach. The middle notes contain jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, marigold, mimosa, orange blossom and tuberose. The scent then dries down to reveal a vibrant, creamy blend of cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, warm musk and vanilla. Suggested Use For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.
