What do reviewers say about Honour Woman and Essence No. 2 Gardenia?
Honour Woman has a white floral heart that could be too much on paper. In practice, the rhubarb and pepper go to work early, they keep the gardenia and tuberose from becoming just another pretty.Honour Woman
This is the gardenia for people who appreciate indolic whites, the kind that doesn't announce itself, but earns attention. Jasmine leads the opening, which surprises anyone expecting a polite floral.Essence No. 2 Gardenia
