The gardenia flower oil used to create the wonderfully creamy, slightly sweet and herbaceous scent is from an organic South American farm that makes small-batch and limited edition oil through the ancient and labor intensive art of enfleurage scent extraction. Described as euphoric, the Ancient Greeks believed that the scent of gardenia could transport one to Elysium, a paradise where immortals were sent, and the Victorians used the naturally aphrodisiac white flower to symbolize secret love.
The base of Elysium is a cold-pressed, organic Argan oil from a women-owned and operated collective in Morocco. Rich in omega 6, 9, polyphenol, and vitamin E, Argan oil absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft and moisturized with a healthy glow.
