Jardin del Año

This year's garden, gathered and bottled.

  • A base made from the garden itself. Flowers cut through the year as they open and steeped in alcohol, so the bottle holds every season
  • Orange blossom opens it bright and sweet, and lavender keeps it clean
  • Geranium gives it a rosy heart, sweetgrass a soft warmth underneath, and one drop of rose ties the florals together

Alcohol, Garden Flower Extract, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Flower Water, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Water, Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Flower Water, Hierochloe Odorata (Sweetgrass) Water, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Flower Oil.

Mist onto the wrists, the throat, the palms of your hands. Mist a room, a doorway, or the corners of a new home, or add a few sprays to the mop water for a floor wash. Alcohol-based, so keep it away from the eyes, broken skin, and open flame (candles included), let it dry before it meets fabric you care about, and use it externally only.

A floral Florida water made from a year of garden flowers, each one put down in alcohol as it bloomed, then opened with orange blossom, lavender, geranium, and sweetgrass waters and a drop of rose. No two years are the same, because no two gardens are.

Why this Florida water

A whole year of blooms, kept in one bottle.

Most Florida water is the same bottle every year. Same formula, same sharp cologne, made a long way from any garden. It does the job. It just doesn't know where it came from.

Jardin del Año is made the slow way. All year, as things bloom in the garden, they're cut and put down in alcohol, a handful at a time, whatever opened that season. By the end of the year the base holds the whole garden: the first spring flowers, the summer ones, the last of the fall. Then it rests. No two years are the same, because no two gardens are. That's the name. The garden of the year.

Half of every bottle is that base. The other half is the flowers' own waters. Orange blossom leads, bright and sweet. Lavender keeps it clean so it never turns heavy. Geranium brings a rosy, green heart, and a little sweetgrass sits underneath it, soft and warm like cut hay, carrying the old meaning it has always carried. One drop of rose holds the florals together.

Florida water has been part of Caribbean and Southern practice for generations. It gets splashed on the hands after a long day, misted over a doorway, poured into the floor wash, and worn to church as cologne. Jardin del Año is made for all of it. Wear it on your skin, clear a room with it, bless a space with it. It's light enough to use every day and pretty enough to wear as a perfume.

When this year's bottles are gone, the next year's garden is already growing.

No factory cologne, no synthetic citrus, no same-every-year. Just this year's garden and the waters that open it.

What's inside

The plants doing real work

Orange Blossom

citrus aurantium

The flower's own water, and the largest part of the blend. Opens it bright and sweet.

Lavender

lavandula angustifolia

Lavender water keeps the florals clean so the scent never turns cloying.

Geranium

pelargonium graveolens

A rosy, green heart that reads as rose without needing a single petal.

Sweetgrass

hierochloe odorata

Kept low. A soft, warm, hay-sweet note underneath, and the old meaning it carries.

Rose

rosa damascena

One drop of the oil ties the florals together.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Because the base is the garden. The flowers that bloom each year go into that year's bottles, so a wet spring or a long summer shows up in the scent. The waters stay the same, so it always smells like Jardin del Año, just a different year of it.

Both. It's made the way Florida water has always been made, alcohol and flowers, and it's soft enough to wear as a perfume. Use it on your skin, in a room, or in the floor wash.

It's a mist, lighter than a true perfume, so it sits closer and fades sooner. Reach for it again whenever you want the garden back. For something that wears all day, try **Nymphaea**.

Yes. Mist the altar, a doorway, or the corners of a room, or add a few sprays to the mop water. Keep it away from lit candles while the alcohol is wet.
