About the Gardenia Plant

The gardenia plant (Gardenia jasminoides), cherished for its lush, creamy-white flowers and intoxicating fragrance, is a symbol of peace, love, and refinement. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, gardenias thrive in warm climates and are celebrated for their vibrant blossoms and unmistakable scent. Known as a flower of spiritual and emotional clarity, the essence of gardenia is often used in incense to evoke feelings of harmony and inner peace.

Mt. Athos Incense

The incense that comes from Mt Athos is produced in a wide variety of orthodox monasteries on the peninsula. For the monks, making their incense, is part of their religious meditative practice. In silence and prayers, their high-end blends are made.

Mount Athos

Mt. Athos (Holy Mountain) is a mountain on the Athos peninsula in northeastern Greece. It is an important center of Eastern Orthodox monasticism. The mountain and most of the Athos peninsula are governed as an autonomous region in Greece by the monastic community of Mount Athos.

Mount Athos has been inhabited since ancient times and is known for its long Christian presence and historical monastic traditions, which date back to at least 800 AD during the Byzantine era. Because of its long history of religious importance, the well-preserved agrarian architecture within the monasteries, and the preservation of the flora and fauna around the mountain, Mount Athos was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988.
