Nostos Pure fragrance oil with a gardenia scent is used in candles and for home fragrance. It can be burned in an oil burner or electric diffuser. For reed diffusers, it must be diluted in a suitable home fragrance solvent. In cosmetics, use at 1–3%; in soaps, the recommended ratio depends on the method of preparation.
The fragrance opens with floral and green notes and slightly fruity nuances, followed by floral and slightly spicy-woody heart notes, and floral, slightly woody and musky base notes.
