What do reviewers say about Always and Embrace Marigold and Gardenia?
This one won a FiFi Award in 2005 and it's not hard to see why. It's the friend everyone trusts, warm, approachable, never trying too hard. That cotton-musk base is the secret.Always
Most tropical florals go saccharine and don't look back. This one doesn't. The melon and mango open bright, then marigold and gardenia arrive warm without overwhelming.Embrace Marigold and Gardenia
