Kiele Aromatherapy Essence

Kiele is a luminous new floral fragrance that captures the essence of fresh gardenia at it's most delicate, romantic, and dreamy.

Kiele is the culmination of a sweet dream over ten years in the making. It all began with a conversation with an older Hawaiian aunty about how I’d been having a difficult time sleeping because of my anxiety. Her advice? To gather fresh gardenia blossoms and place them at my bedside. She told me that their fragrance would calm my thoughts and give me a peaceful sleep. She was absolutely right! I’ve kept a small vase of these freshly-cut gardenia on my nightstand ever since.

There are many varieties of gardenia that bloom here in Hawaii – each with their own unique aroma. There is the Gardenia Jasminoides or Hawaiian Kiele, which gives our fragrance its name. Their scent is buttery and creamy, a heady, luxurious scent that is truly unparalleled. There is also the Tiare or Tahitian Gardenia which is rich, sweet with slight notes of citrus. The tiare has a scent almost like tuberose, smelling like the warmth of a tropical summer. 

The quality of fresh botanical ingredients in Kiele is unparalleled, and the slight fluctuations in aroma from the different seasons has been such a joy to experience during the last year of formulation. Each batch of this enchanting fragrance is fresh and intimate, and the ingredients we use in our production are often made just for us.
