In stock

A luminous fragrance of moonlit gardenias, whose honeyed scent drifts across balmy spring nights on dew/laden tropical breezes. Composed with pure botanical extracts, Kiele is a creamy bouquet of citrus/kissed white florals that captures the essence of fresh gardenia at its most delicate, romantic and dreamy.

Ingredients

Crafting a natural fragrance that expresses the essence of fresh gardenia wa no small undertaking – it required a perfectly balanced blend of exotic oils from around the world. With pure floral extracts sourced from the cool mountain slopes of Haleakala to the warm Tahitian tropics, the natural ingredients in Kiele are extracted in small batches and made just for us.

The Ritual

Apply Kiele to your pulse points, (wrist area, behind the earlobes, inner elbows) throughout the day for an enveloping halo of soft floral fragrance. Leah’s absolute favorite way to enjoy Kiele? Apply to the palm of your hands and run them through your hair to carry the essence of gardenia with you from sunrise to sunset.

The Inspiration

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.

When the gardenia is in full bloom on the farm, it is heaven on earth. It’s not just the intoxicating scent of the blooms themselves – it’s mingled with the smell the fresh morning dew on their petals, the warmth of the tropical breeze, and the sweetness of the damp earth, covered in citrus peels from fallen fruit. Ever since that conversation with Aunty, I knew I wanted to capture this intoxicating scent – the luminous gardenia in its natural state.

The Ingredients & Sourcing

Crafting a natural fragrance that expresses the essence of fresh gardenia was no small undertaking – it required a perfectly balanced proprietary blend of exotic oils from around the world.

One of the gardenia oils in Kiele is grown organically in the cool Maui upcountry mist on the slopes of Haleakalā, crafted using one of the world’s most ancient fragrance extraction methods – enfleurage. In this process, hundreds of fresh flowers are placed in carrier oil inside of a temperature-controlled glass distiller, which slowly diffuses their scent into the oil over a course of three months.

Another gardenia oil comes from a small, family-owned organic farm in Bali that does not cut down any trees for production. They use zero-waste production practices without plastic or chemicals, specializing in one of the finest processing methods available – the CO2 Supercritical method. This process produces the most pure and potent essential oils possible, retaining delicate flower essences that are lost in virtually all other conventional methods of processing. The oils they extract are derived from flowers that have been sustainably harvested throughout Southeast Asia, and many that are wildcrafted directly from Bali and Jakarta.

The tiare oil in our blend is sustainably sourced and wildcrafted from French Polynesia. Tiare flowers are a national symbol of Tahiti, often celebrated as the flower of affection. The fragrance oil is created a in a slow process where fresh tiare blossoms are submerged in coconut oil, slowly infusing it with their fragrance.

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.

FAQ

How do I know these products will work on my skin?

Each person's skin is distinctive and diverse.
It can take awhile to find a skin-friendly ritual. For your skin to fully adapt to your new products for one cellular renewal cycle, they advise using the products for at least 28 days.

What ingredients are used in the products of Leahlani?

Benzyl Alcohol, Linalool, Geraniol, Eugenol and Benzyl benzoate are natural components found in essential oils. Essential oils all contain many natural, chemical constituents in their makeup. Because essential oils do come from plants, there can be allergen risks. To make sure you won't experience an allergic response if you have a sensitivity to a particular essential oil allergen, check to see if it is included in our list of ingredients.

What is DI-PPG-2 MYRETH-10 ADIPATE? The company wanted Pamplemousse to remove makeup and impurities like a boss, and they wanted her to rinse clean with water - without the need for a washcloth for removal. DI-PPG is an emollient and a diester of adipic acid and an alkoxylated myristyl alcohol, it is what gives Pamplemousse her silken texture when mixed with water.

Meli GLOW has 'parfume' listed in her ingredients, does she have artificial fragrance in her? No, she does not. Her fragrance is composed of a proprietary blend of essential oils, fruit and plant extracts - and is 100% natural in origin.

What is the difference between an Elixir and a Serum?

Great question! There is a great difference between the two:

Serums
Since serums are water-based rather than oil-based and have smaller molecules than oils, they can reach deeper layers of the skin.

Serums can brighten, exfoliate, reduce wrinkles, and deeply hydrate your skin, all of which are beneficial for your skin. They provide your skin with a higher concentration of ingredients than a moisturizer does.

Elixirs
Although elixirs frequently have a thinner consistency than serums, they frequently have a combination of oils and botanical components to help hydrate and nourish skin. They support the development of a more radiant and moisturized complexion by nourishing and healing the skin. They are more suited for skin types with dry, aging, and dehydrated conditions.
