White Out v2

```html

White Out is a blend I first made for myself just at the tail end of last year. I wanted something easy to wear, crowd pleasing (yes I know with naturals and animalics that can sometimes be hard to produce), as well as something that fits with any season. I chose Gardenia as the main note because to me it fits all those categories while still remaining unisex, clean, and fresh. The Colombian Gardenia was chosen for its sharp veracity while the Chinese Gardenia was used for its fruity sweet aspects and to accentuate the pineapple note in specific.

The Magnolia fits in perfectly to add a very slight sweet white floral punch. The White Ginger Lily adds a damp, green, and fresh quality to the overall blend, keeping the sweetness from the magnolia intact while also taming the gardenia. I went with White Ambergris for this blend to keep it light and airy as well as Siberian Musk because I wanted to highlight the raw tartness from the gardenia.

Last but certainly not least — Wild Filipino Oud. A gram of this Oud would easily retail for $800, and I can honestly say, since this region is a favorite of mine, that this is probably the best-smelling oud I've used in a blend to date. I'm happy it went into one of my personal favorite blends — White Out!

White Out was created to show the pure essence of the Gardenia flower. Each note added highlights the structure of the flower — from the Wild Filipino Oud to the White Ginger Lily. While this may seem like a simple blend, together these notes evolve into a deep, ever-so-gorgeous composition.

You can say it’s a ghalia gardenia, a private blend, or even a signature scent — and all of those would be true. White Out is very special to me and I hope you all like it as much as I do.
