What do reviewers say about Honour Woman and Heretic 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
Most gardenia fragrances overshoot. Too creamy, too loud, too much. Heretic Gardenia takes a different angle, the litsea cubeba citrus cuts through the lactones, keeping everything bright and honest.Heretic Gardenia
