Kate Middleton’s Wedding Fragrance

Kate Middleton, now of course, The Duchess of Cambridge, apparantly wore the beautiful White Gardenia Petals fragrance from Illuminum to wed her handsome prince. The scent begins with a top note of coconut bursting into a heart of ylang ylang, muguet (lily of the valley) and jasmine. Amber wood is the bottom note. 

In keeping with Kate’s support of British creativity for her wedding, Illuminum is the creation of British perfumer Michael Boadi, of Boadicia The Victorious range fame. The Illuminum range is split into four scented sections: Floral, Citrus, Oud and Musk. The ethos of the range is chic simplicity, so you won’t find a million and one different ingredients vying for attention – so it seems to tie in very beautifully with Kate’s look for day: elegant, uncluttered, sophisticated and fresh. 


To my knowledge, White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum, £70, is only stocked in one place, so here’s the link. www.roullierwhite.com

    Funny.. Do you have a source or are you just going on what a PR friend told you?

    I can guarantee there’ll be dozens of PRs claiming different fragrances with as much proof as you have.

    Their Facebook page mentions a launch last October at Harrods. Whether or not it’s still available there I don’t know. But I’d love to try the range.

    You know what Anon, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Nothing life changing will happen either way. But I can put hand on heart and say that I have checked and double checked as far as it is possible to do so. I feel I am writing this on more than rumour. If it doesn’t check out it isn’t because I listened to idle rumour, it is because I believed my source.

    The scent sounds lovely, coconut one of my favs, then ylang ylang etc but she smelled as gorgeous and elegant as she looked and carried herself 🙂 Thank you for sharing.

    Anon, if I’m wrong I’ll hold my hands up, but you need to remember that this is a blog and not a print publication read by millions. I think we need a reality check – it’s perfume..not life saving news. I realise it is a risk, having not actually been there and sprayed the fragrance on her myself, but it is one I’m prepared to take. Most blog readers will understand that if I’m wrong I will make it very clear that this is the case..I’ve been wrong before and held my hands up to it..

    Anyway I hope that you have better things to do in life than argue the toss on a blog over a perfume. And, it would be nice if you didn’t hide behind the Anon..if you have something to say, it seems far more elegant to have the nerve to say it without hiding – at least that way you’d have the full glory of being right, if indeed you are.

    Why is this not in Harrods anymore, maybe you should ask the PR company that. Do you think they got delisted for misrepresentation ??? Or could it be that the Royal Family and Harrods wanted to be associated with a so called perfumer who skipped bail for credit card fraud as per the article in the Telegraph. Interesting indeed

    US availability for the Illuminum brand will be 1-2 weeks on luckyscent.com and pre-sale for White Gardenia Petals, with June (100ml) and July (50ml)Seems like a real nice shop as you can buy samples for nearly every perfume they offer.

    Anon, no need to be a jerk and why the need to hide behind the Anonymous moniker, anyway? For the record, it in fact IS the perfume she wore and I got it directly from the horses mouth!

    Wow…talk about having a complex!
    Whoever Anon is obviously has a hidden agenda or complex of some type, and is too gutless to raise it directly. Does it matter whether it is true or not? The blog article did say ‘apparently wore’ not “definitely wore”…
    Anyway, it sounds quite lovely, whether it is or not the perfume that she wore…

    (From a different Anonymous than the one above)…Frankly, I could care less about the “rumoured” fragrance Kate Middleton wore on her wedding day. It’s just another pointless detail to absorb. I wish you were reviewing this fragrance because you personally loved it and were recommending it to your readers. It would come across as a more genuine post and wouldn’t seem like you were name dropping.
